RE: On a Resource, when and by what is getRepresentation() called?
Hi Rob, I'd just like to point out that there are now shortcut Resource#getQuery() and getMatrix() methods that internally calls getRequest().getResourceRef().getQueryAsForm().

Because the names of the high level methods in 1.0 were confusing, a fair bit of this was changed for Restlet 1.1. In 1.1, you are principally working with represent(...) for GET and acceptRepresentation(...) for POST. In either 1.0 or 1.1, the getRequest and getResponse methods allow you to interact with these objects. getRequest().getResourceReference().getQueryAsForm() is probably what you want. I will pedantically observe that if you are using query strings, you may not have an optimally resource-oriented API. Query strings are frequently (though not always) indicative of an imperative, non-REST design. If you already know this and or/don't care, ignore the pedantry ... - Rob On Sun, Sep 28, 2008 at 6:38 PM, Mark Petrovic [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Is it the case that the Resource method public Representation getRepresentation(Variant variant) is the method to override to handle an HTTP GET on the resource?

I see. Thank you. Mark On Sep 28, 2008, at 4:39 PM, Rob Heittman wrote: Because the names of the high level methods in 1.0 were confusing, a fair bit of this was changed for Restlet 1.1.
