It would nice to have the "known variables" feature of Resolver from the message below mentioned in tutorial section "10. URI rewriting and redirection" at http://www.restlet.org/documentation/2.0/tutorial#part10
and again in JavaDoc for org.restlet.routing.Redirector http://www.restlet.org/documentation/2.0/jse/api/org/restlet/routing/Redirector.html because there's no way to know from looking at the tutorial or the documentation for Redirector that this is possible, or required. Resolver isn't mentioned at all in Redirector JavaDoc. In Restlet 1.1, you could do this: component.getDefaultHost().attach("/", new Redirector(component.getContext().createChildContext(), "/path/to/startPage.html", Redirector.MODE_CLIENT_SEE_OTHER)); but in Restlet 2.0 you need to do this: component.getDefaultHost().attach("/", new Redirector(component.getContext().createChildContext(), "{rh}/path/to/startPage.html", Redirector.MODE_CLIENT_SEE_OTHER)); or else you get java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Relative references are only usable when a base reference is set.

You should be able to use the shipped Redirector, as follow (or something similar) new Redirector(getContext(), "http://192.168.100.1:8080/RESTfulServices{rr}";, Redirector.MODE_CLIENT_DISPATCHER)); Don't forget to declare the client HTTP connector on the component (such redirection is seen as a new client call issued by the Component).
