Hi, I am evaluating Restlet 2.0 vs. Spring 3.0 for a new project that is starting soon. I have done a lot of reading on the website and have written a couple of small programs with Restlet 2.0M6 to get the feel for it. I am looking to hear from people who have been using it into production about their configuration choices.
1) What connector are you using with Restlet in production? I very much like the idea of not having to run inside of a web container, but I am not sure from the list of available connectors which are the best for production, and what are the pros and con's of each connector. Any advice from the community on this is appreciated. 2) How are you dealing with Caching on the server side? The app I am working on does a lot of DB interactions and caching results between requests would improve performance. What caching solutions are people using with Restlets. 3) Are you finding that the Services / Data Access Layers in Standard Web Apps don’t apply in the Restlet World? Given that we are exposing resources and no longer exposing services and functionality, do you find that the need for Data Access Objects is gone? As i think about what the app will do, I keep noticing that it is easier to put the data access for a resource into the Restlet instead of making a Data Access Object. After all PUT, POST, and DELETE will do something to the persistent state of the resource and GET will just query it. Thoughts about this from the community are highly appreciated. 4) What does your Restlet production setup look like?
