Hi, You could use org.restlet.engine.converter.ConverterHelper too.
You might want to register your own Converter if you're not satisfied with the default ones. In this case, the if-MediaType logic will be in the ConverterHelper's toRepresentation method. public class SearchResource extends ServerResource { @Get("xml") public SearchResults doXmlSearch() { return doSearch(getRequest()); } @Get("json") public SearchResults doJSonSearch() { return doSearch(getRequest()); } } Best wishes, Bruno.
