So I followed the instructions on that thread. I added JodaTime to my project
and used new ISO8601DateConverter(), as suggested by xstream. It's a bit
verbose, but it works... locally, it does not work when I deploy to the server.
Obviously I have some difference between my deployment environment and my
testing environment, but I can't figure out what. One of the things I like
about Heroku (and HATED about GAE) is how similar test and deploy environs are,
so I'm kinda baffled. Any hints about what the difference might be? some
relevant code snips below. setupConverters() gets called as almost the first
line of code, before any other part of restlet is setup.

public static ISO8601DateConverter DATE_CONVERTER = new ISO8601DateConverter() {
@Override
public String toString(Object obj) {
String str = super.toString(obj);
// prints out when testing locally, but not on the server
System.out.println( "=========> " + obj.toString() + "
========> " + str );
return str;
}
};
private static void setupConverters() {
Engine.getInstance().getRegisteredConverters().add(0,new
MyXstreamConverter());
}
static class MyXstreamConverter extends XstreamConverter {
@Override
protected <T> XstreamRepresentation<T> create(MediaType
mediaType, T source) {
return new MyXstreamRepresentation<T>(mediaType, source);
}
@Override
protected <T> XstreamRepresentation<T> create(Representation
source) {
return new MyXstreamRepresentation<T>(source);
}
}
static class MyXstreamRepresentation<T> extends XstreamRepresentation {
public MyXstreamRepresentation(MediaType mediaType, T source) {
super(mediaType, source);
}
public MyXstreamRepresentation(Representation source) {
super(source);
}
@Override
protected XStream createXstream(MediaType mediaType) {
XStream ret = super.createXstream(mediaType);
ret.registerConverter(DATE_CONVERTER);
return ret;
}
}
