Re: Restlet-GWT HTTP authentication example

Re: Spring Engine

I agree with everything you've written. It seems to me that while there is a theoretical benefit to having the engine and RI separated, it doesn't see much practical use. The end result of this patch is that I can configure the Engine to use the connectors I want via Spring without using the auto

RE: Assistance and Question

Hi Jerome, Thanks much for the response. Yes calling c.stop() releases the file handles. This works well when using a client over and over. However this method is available only in later versions of the client. We will be upgrading shortly. Sanjay > From: [E

Re: Spring configuration example using com.noelios.restlet.ext.spring package

Hi Mark, You might also consider using SpringBeanRouter. If you only have one URI mapping per resource, it allows your URIs to be mapped directly in the bean definitions. Your example would be like this using SpringBeanRouter (note: not tested): class="com.mspetrovic.server.restlet.

Getting 403 Forbidden rather than 401 Unauthorized when using HTTP Basic auth

I followed the code in this tutorial: http://www.restlet.org/documentation/1.0/tutorial#part09 But when the authentication fails, I'm getting a 403 error, rather than a 401 error as the code suggests. This is with Restlet v1.0.11 - any ideas? Regards, Ian. -- Ian Clarke CEO, Uprizer Labs E

Re: Best practices for read-only fields?

This is an example of the general need to validate all input. IMHO, if you look at it that way then you basically need to do Option #3 anyways since good input validation practice is to "default deny" + accept only known good input patterns. Depending on the depth and complexity of the ful

Re: Spring configuration example using com.noelios.restlet.ext.spring package

I'm posting my take on the Spring config detailed on the wiki. Previously I had been using a subclass of Application, with multiple invocations of router.attach() (per the FirstResource app) to get routing done to specific restlets. Hope this helps someone out there get over the hump. In

RE: Best practices for read-only fields?

Hi Richard, Option 3 seems the best to me. Note that when you do a PUT you shouldn't send a partial representation as the entity sent is expected to fully replace the existing representation. Another option you could consider is to give an URI to each modifiable field and update them individuall

RE: Assistance and Question

Hi Sanjay, I can confirm that Client instances have been designed to be reused concurrently by several threads. The code should be thread-safe (I've just fixed the issue Tim noticed). But, nothing prevents you from having several instances of them if that makes sense, for example for configura

Best practices for read-only fields?

Hi The only advice Richardson seems to offer on incoming representations is that "a client should be able to fetch a representation, modify it, and PUT it back where it found it." (RESTful Web Services, 2007, p. 235). That is surely right, but how best to handle read-only fields? For example, co
