Ok, I don't know if this is idiomatic Restlet, but I solved the issue by doing
this:
@Override
public Restlet createInboundRoot() {
getMetadataService().addExtension("x-java-serialized-object+gwt",
MediaType.APPLICATION_JAVA_OBJECT_GWT);
...
And annotating the ServerResource method with:
@Get("xml|x-java-serialized-object+gwt")
...
Tracing org.restlet shows the right converter is selected, XStreamConverter or
GwtConverter respectively.
