Yes, thats the criterion I'm using.

I'm guessing this is where I'd need to handle the 406?
Or use Rhetts idea and extend resource.
OK, It's doable. I need to study the API a bit more.

Thanks for that, looks good.
I couldn't find much in http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/api/index.html
to help me get the header so I'll move this work over to restlets.

What Rob's saying will work for sure. You don't even have to handle
the 406 yourself -- if you extend Resource and override
represent(Variant), Restlet will automatically send the 406 if the
represent method returns null.

Re: Mime type filtering.
Hi Dave! (Shout out from fop-dev back in the day)
If you are using the Accept: header in your client ... and using the Restlet
Resource model on the server ... just write your responding code in your
override of represent(Variant variant).
if(variant.getMediaType().equals([the MediaType you speak])){
// do stuff;
} else {
// return the error status;
}
I just spotted this example blog that does pretty much what you want:

Mime type filtering.
Requirement: I'm setting up a private service, using restlets under Tomcat. No browser interaction, just a data endpoint for my own use (and to learn a little more about restlets). I want to do a GET, specifying that I can accept application/xml+atom as a mime type. At the server end; Unless this is specified (in the header I think - my knowledge of http isn't very strong) I want the server to reject the GET (error code 406 seems right). Even if no mime type is specified, I will still refuse the GET. Jerome pointed me to extension to MIME type mappings: http://www.restlet.org/documentation/snapshot/api/org/restlet/service/MetadataService.html Is this the best way to do this kind of filtering please? Or use a Tomcat filter? regards -- Dave Pawson XSLT XSL-FO FAQ. Docbook FAQ. http://www.dpawson.co.uk -- http://restlet.tigris.org/ds/viewMessage.do?dsForumId=4447&dsMessageId=1112159
