Deploying restlets on a commercial hosting service?

2011-03-24 Thread Robert P Futrelle
I work in Java for servers and clients. They all work fine on my local
machine (most of the time   ;-).

Is anyone familiar with the issues (limitations?) that could arise in
attempting to create a java restlet server and then deploying it/them on a
commercial hosting site?

They all have Apache available, but I'm not familiar enough with web
software architecture to know what can be put behind Apache.

There are no real limitations. Using Apache as a reverse proxy in front 
of Restlet should work just fine, actually better than having Restlet 
answer internet requests directly.


Restlet does tend to be stricter about HTTP header formats than most 
HTTP servers. Things that Apache's mod_php would handle happily may not 
be OK with Restlet. But this is a good thing: the internet is a wild 
place full of bizarre robots, spiders from Mars, and other junk that 
will start hitting your server almost as soon as you open it to the world...


The bottom line is that Restlet is recommended for commercial, 
internet-public sites.
