Another way that avoids passing values via the Context is to use custom Finder that creates and initializes the resource in an overridden create(Class, Request, Response), either by calling super.create(targetClass, request, response) and setting the initialization parameters on the returned value, or by re-implementing create(Class, Request, Response) entirely. --tim ------------------------------------------------------ http://restlet.tigris.org/ds/viewMessage.do?dsForumId=4447&dsMessageId=3070538
