Hello Rhett, Thanks for the reply!
What I would like to do is to create many "application" class instances at runtime through some internal trigger...which can be done using: attach(String pathTemplate, Restlet target) and to delete I use: detach(Restlet target) no problem here. but for resource class instances I can only route "applications" to them using: attach(String pathTemplate, Class<?> targetClass) Meaning, I would have to use the same resource class instance for all the "applications" that route to it. Although what I want to do is to have different "resource" instances that differ in how they are initialized. I hope I have illustrated this properly.
