Restlet 2.0 M3 released May 27, 2009

trackback

We have just released Restlet 2.0 M3, replacing Restlet 1.2 M2 as our current “testing” release (following Debian terminology). We have also updated our “stable” branch with a 1.1.5 release.

Looking at the amount of new features that we added so far since Restlet 1.1 (with some more coming), the amount of refactoring and reorganization done on the Restlet API (including the core Resource API), on extension packages and with the growing number of special Restlet editions (Java SE/EE, Google Web Toolkit, Google App Engine and Android), it seemed appropriate to rename the Restlet 1.2 branch into Restlet 2.0.

Restlet

Here is a summary of the main changes :

  • New org.restlet.ext.xml extension including XML related classes previously in the core Restlet API. This ensures that the core Restlet API stays as consistent as possible across all editions. In this case, those features weren’t available in Android.
  • Improved the org.restlet.ext.rdf extension with Turtle and N-Triples support in addition to RDF/XML and n3 formats.
  • FreeMarker templates can now be loaded via the Context’s client dispatcher and relatively to a base URI.
  • Added an org.restlet.ext.xstream extension providing transparent serialization between Java objects and XML or JSON.
  • Added an ObjectRepresentation class to the GWT edition and to the org.restlet.ext.gwt server extension. This allows transparent serialization of Java objects leveraging GWT-RPC serialization mechanism, but using your REST APIs.
  • Greatly improved the support for the recently added ConverterService.
  • Improved the ClientResource with support for annotated interfaces via the creation of dynamic proxies. It now also automatically follows redirections when possible.
  • Refactored the services to facilitate the addition of new ones by users in their applications.
  • Added AppendableRepresentation for dynamic generation of StringRepresentation instances.

Trying to use new org.restlet.gae.jar from Restlet version restlet-2.0m3 zip archive and getting the following error when trying to run local Jetty server. Sorry I don’t know if this is the place to post it.

Hello,

This class has been relocated to its regular “org.restlet.ext.servlet.ServerServlet” name. Just adjust your web.xml file.

Best regards,
Jerome

And what about DomRepresentation? This class doesn’t exist anymore, am I right?

Hi Denys,

It has been moved in the new “org.restlet.ext.xml” extension.

Best regards,
Jerome
