I've been using Restlet starting at 1.x and now at 2.0 in my appengine project, which has been in production for about 6 months. Much of my UI is written using Adobe Flex. I recently attempted to use GWT for part of the UI and had some problems, but there is a work-around and both the GWT and the Restlet team have accepted bugs in their issue trackers. The problem only happens in the development server. GWT writes a system property that overwrites the default xml TransformerFactory. This causes an exception in Restlet if you use an XML Representation. There is a simple workaround. See issue 4267 at, http://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/issues/detail?id=4267. Please go to that issue and star it so it gets some attention. If you use JSON or another format, you should not have any issues at all, this is an XML problem only.
As for Restlet, I think it is an excellent package. Very comprehensive. Manning Publications has an early review version of a book by the authors called "Restlet in Action". Version 2.0 is at the release candidate phase and it is very stable. Other than the GWT bug in the development mode (which is a GWT bug, not a Restlet bug), I have had no issues.
