Hi all, I've updated the wiki to clarify this best practice, see the last section: http://wiki.restlet.org/docs_2.0/285-restlet.html
The Javadocs have also been previously clarified before, saying that release() should rarely be called: http://www.restlet.org/documentation/2.0/jee/api/org/restlet/representation/Representation.html#release%28%29 I've clarified this even further in SVN (2.0 and trunk) by adding this paragraph: * Note that calling this method will likely prevent the reuse of the * underlying persistent connection and therefore should only be called when * exhausting the content with {...@link #exhaust()} is too costly or when * further calls from the client are not welcome. Hope this clarifies. We can update the wiki/javadocs further based on your experienced. If one connector such as Apache HTTP Client 4 doesn't work consistently with this description, we can try to fix it.
