hey there,

I am trying to use the wadl extensions to document my restlet api, but I'm 
ending up with some weird results. Here's why:

several parts of my api look something like this:

/object
/object/{objectid}

and I use the same serverresource to handle both of them:

router.attach( "/object", ObjectResource.class );
router.attach( "/object/{objectid}", ObjectResource.class );

ObjectResource then handles the calls differently based on the presence/absence 
of the objectid attribute, but I don't see a way to document such behavior. In 
the docs, I end up with two entries, one for /object and one for 
/object/{objectid} that are both identical, and I don't see a way to 
distinguish in my describe* type calls. Is there some way around this? The only 
thing I can think of is to refactor my code to

ObjectResource -- which handles and documents /object
ObjectWithIdResource -- which handles and documents /object/{objectid}
ObjectResourceHelper -- which does the work

But this goes contrary to keeping the documentation close to the code.

Am I missing something?

thanks,

bjorn
