The default connectors for various editions have changed between 2.2 and 2.3 (actually between 2.3-RC1 and 2.3.0). JEE edition no longer registers HTTP or HTTPS server helpers; JSE still does.
Assuming this was intentional and not an oversight, the change causes problems for me. For several versions now I've been able to maintain one build that works both as a standalone deployment and when embedded in a WAR for deployment in a production server running Tomcat. I've used the JEE edition because of the dependency on org.restlet.ext.servlet.ServerServlet. (Why use Tomcat at all? There are better connectors for production purposes. Short answer is that it plays well with AWS Elastic Beanstalk.) With this latest change, however, the standalone deployment no longer works. I get message: No available server connector supports the required protocols: 'HTTP' Please add the jar of a matching connector to your classpath. <https://github.com/restlet/restlet-framework-java/blob/09c78b4737c1eda45a276dc284d4ffee61f8efca/modules/org.restlet/src/org/restlet/engine/Engine.java#L650-L663> It's because no HttpServerHelper has been registered in these lines <https://github.com/restlet/restlet-framework-java/blob/09c78b4737c1eda45a276dc284d4ffee61f8efca/modules/org.restlet/src/org/restlet/engine/Engine.java#L896-L901> for JEE (the "jee" token was added to the #ifndef list only a few days ago). I'd be happy to add the jar of a matching connector if there was one that the JEE edition supported, but the obvious candidates, Jetty and Simple, don't seem to be available for that edition. I'd be happy to switch to the JSE edition, but then I wouldn't be able to compile against org.restlet.ext.servlet. There's an existing issue which is vaguely related: https://github.com/restlet/restlet-framework-java/issues/876 I'm not filing my own issue yet, because I don't see it as a bug, but I'd like advice on what to do here. I'd prefer not to have to make separate builds -- it was a really nice property that I could run the same code and libraries either standalone or deployed as a WAR. --tim ------------------------------------------------------ http://restlet.tigris.org/ds/viewMessage.do?dsForumId=4447&dsMessageId=3093127
