Hello All- We've been using Restlet for the last few years in developing our recently-launched consumer Web service called TipTheWeb, and I thought that people on this list might be interested in hearing about it.
TipTheWeb.org is a new service that lets you directly support your favorite web content by tipping it- for instance, you might like a blog post and tip it 25 cents. The goal is to make possible what we call "community-supported Web publishing", where we can all participate in building a better Internet by supporting the publishers that create great stuff, whether it's writing, photographs, videos, open-source software, or almost anything else published online that is free to access. Here's the site: http://tiptheweb.org/ And here's our recent blog post announcing our recent release: http://blog.tiptheweb.org/post/4052890190/building-a-better-web-together We use Restlet as the core of our HTTP infrastructure, both for more standard JSON web service type resources as well as our human-facing web site and application (for which we built a thin framework on top of Restlet). We develop and deploy all our code within an OSGi runtime, which, among other things, gives us the ability to break up our software into modules and hot-deploy new code without taking down the main java process. So we have a pretty non-traditional technology stack (which I describe in slightly more detail here http://tiptheweb.org/technology/ ), and which I'd be happy to discuss further on this list. Using Restlet has worked out pretty well for us, and we'd like to thank Jerome, Thierry, and all the other contributors and helpful folks us this list for Restlet and it's supportive community. And I'd like to point out that supporting open-source software like Restlet is a major goal of TipTheWeb, so consider using our new service to tip http://www.restlet.org/ !
