Hi Henry,
The API doesn't provide concrete implementations because there could be
so many. You can compare it to the Servlet API which simply provides an
OutputStream.
However, the NRE does provide many concrete representation classes
(FreeMarker template, InputStream-based, OutputStream-based, DOM-based,
SAX-based, etc.) inside the core and extensions packages:
http://www.restlet.org/docs/core/
http://www.restlet.org/docs/ext/
To return a simple string, it's easier, just use the
Message.setEntity(String, MediaType) method. I will see how this could
be explained better in the docs.
Thanks,
Jerome
Henry Story a écrit :
Hi,
I am writing an Atom client and would like to POST an <entry> to a
collection. I looked at the atom source code, but could not quite work
out how this is meant to work.
As far as I can see one needs to do something like this
Request request = new Request(Method.POST, getHref(), member);
where member is a Representation. There does not seem to be any way to
set the content of a represenation, though. Should one subclass it to
make sure the
public InputStream getStream() throws IOException
public ReadableByteChannel getChannel() throws IOException
are implemented? And if so which? If so this should be documented...
Or perhaps I am thinking of this wrong.
Henry
