Hi all,
I think I've run into a serious bug in ClientResource. I've found this
in method handle(Method method, Object entity, Class<T> resultClass) in
restlet 2.0.10, but 2.1.x seems to be affected too.
What I think is wrong with this method is that it uses the variants for
the response to convert the request entity to a representation. Imagine
doing the following call:
clientResource.post("1234", Integer.class)
ClientResource.handle(...) will try to convert the string "1234" to a
representation using a converter for integers. This will succeed with
the DefaultConverter as it happens to be able to encode both strings and
integers, but in other situations it will fail misserably.
I hope you can fix this soon. Are there any work-arounds that I can use
until then?
