I posted this question on StackOverflow and remained unanswered. I am hoping I will get better luck and posting it here.
I am currently building a Restlet application where I need to build the router from a configuration file. The router has different endpoints using the SAME resource but configured with different settings defined in a configuration file. Usually routers are defined using template route with target resource class. This would not work in my case, as the resource needs to be initialized with the different settings. I can see one way to solve this problem : using a Filter that set the initialization parameters in the context, the filter with then forward to the target resource. The target resource will read the initialization parameters from context in the doInit(). Is it the best practice to handle this use case ? Should I use Restlet or Finder instead of Filter. Thanks for your help. ------------------------------------------------------ http://restlet.tigris.org/ds/viewMessage.do?dsForumId=4447&dsMessageId=3070534
