Hello Bjorn, >I tried that from scratch, but it just returns a java object. This could come from the classpath of the server application. The ability to convert an Object to a perticular type of representation is given via Restlet extensions (see this page for more details about the Converter [1]) simply put in the classpath of the application (with their dependencies).For example the "org.restlet.ext.json" extension allows to generate on-the-fly json representation of Java bean. So, I wonder what kind of extensions are you using for your application?
