Hi nameless,
You are right, there is a lack for POST, DELETE and PUT.
IMO for DELETE it is meaningless (from view of HTTP / REST) to send an
extension, because you don't want to delete one Representation (the
json, xml, ... one), but the full resource. For PUT and POST it could
mean the data you send or the data you get. Especially for PUT I think,
the extension should specify the data you send, because that is PUT.
You could also try to use the tunneling via URl parameter. Maybe that
works better for you.
I have no experience with Restlet in combination with Spring, also not
with Restlet-JAX-RS and Spring.
best regards
Stephan
