Yes but when using the ClientResource.wrap approach you're abstracted from all
of that (the Request, Response, ClientInfo, etc) and the wrap method creates an
anonymous InvocationHandler/Dynamic Proxy that sets the ClientInfo for you like
so...
// Updates the client preferences
List<org.restlet.representation.Variant> responseVariants =
annotation.getResponseVariants(getMetadataService(),
getConverterService());
if (responseVariants != null) {
request.setClientInfo(new ClientInfo(responseVariants));
}
So even if I had previously set my media type preferences on the Request
(through ClientResource.setClientInfo()) the anonymous InvocationHandler
created by wrap will override them and specify all media types that the
ConverterService is capable of handling.
