Hi dj, session are strictly forbidden in REST, because the scalability advantage of restful applications will get lost, because caches wont work. For details see the dissertation of Roy Fielding, the founder of the REST architecture style, espacially chapter 5 (http://www.ics.uci.edu/~fielding/pubs/dissertation/rest_arch_style.htm).
Because restful application is not supposed to support sessions (as you wrote), they are not uspported in Restlet. The restful way is to use HTTP autentication. You just need to use a Guard in your Restlet server deployment, e.g. with HTTP-Basic as authentication scheme. The other things do Restlet and the browser for you, but I can't say if the Google App support it. With a browser (e.g. Firefox or IE) it works. best regards Stephan ___________________________________________________________ NEU: WEB.DE DSL für 19,99 EUR/mtl. und ohne Mindest-Laufzeit! http://produkte.web.de/go/02/ ------------------------------------------------------ http://restlet.tigris.org/ds/viewMessage.do?dsForumId=4447&dsMessageId=2590531
