In case anyone wonders the relationship between Restlet, JAX-RS (JSR-311), and Jersey:

Jersey is Sun’s RI for the JAX-RS standard and is a s far as I know
brand new and without any relation to RestLet other than
properly being inspired by it. New versions of RestLet actually
implements the JAX-RS API
(http://blog.noelios.com/2008/04/01/restlet-11-m3-released/)
so if you have a existing RestLet app then you should be able to
gradually convert it into a JAX-RS app.

I just noticed that Jerome Louvel, a Restlet core developer, is an Expert Group member of JSR-311.

Considering his expertise and (very long) experience in this field, I can only expect good things out of it.

Does anyone know of a mailing list where rest-style development is discussed? I am doing a pilot project (it will take a while-only a few hours a week) and have questions about security, how to handle errors, what makes a good RESTful client, how to deal with constraints imposed by a pure browser forms-based client (GET/POST only), etc. etc.

If you are using the Restlet technology you can post to our mailing list:

For more general questions there is the REST discussion list. See links here: http://www.restlet.org/about/faq#04
