Thanks Thierry for your prompt reply.
The issue still persists in release 2.0.3; without the @Get("xml|gwt")
annotation, the target Variant is always null resulting in the GwtConverter and
XStreamConverter score() methods both returning 0.5. Because GwtConverter comes
first in my build, it is always selected over the XStreamConverter.
Now it seems that it is *after* the converter is selected that the Accept
header is processed (for the "preferredVariant"?). So in this case, the
GwtConverter is asked to provide either "application/xml" or
"application/x-java-serialized-object+gwt", for which it will always provide
the latter representation.
I'm not highly experienced with Restlet so please forgive me if my
understanding isn't entirely correct.
