Restlet is a lightweight, comprehensive, open source REST framework for the Java platform. Restlet is suitable for both server and client Web applications. It supports major Internet transport, data format, and service description standards like HTTP and HTTPS, SMTP, XML, JSON, Atom, and WADL. A GWT port of the client-side library is also available. (Reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Restlet)

  • RestletApplication.java

import org.restlet.Application;
import org.restlet.Restlet;
import org.restlet.routing.Router;

import com.restlet.demo.resource.HelloWorldResource;

public class RestletApplication extends Application{ 
    public synchronized Restlet createInboundRoot() {
        Router router = new Router(getContext());
        router.attach("/helloWorld",HelloWorldResource.class );
        return router;
    }
}


  • ResponseParseFactory.java

package com.restlet.demo.core;

import java.util.LinkedHashMap;

import org.apache.log4j.Logger;
import org.json.simple.JSONValue;

public class ResponseParseFactory {

 @SuppressWarnings({ "rawtypes", "unchecked" })
 public String getFailureJsonString(String msg){
  String jsonString = "";
  LinkedHashMap list = new LinkedHashMap();
  list.put("response_status", "false");
  
  list.put("result", msg+"");
  jsonString = JSONValue.toJSONString(list);
  logger.info(jsonString);
  return jsonString;
 }
 
 @SuppressWarnings({ "rawtypes", "unchecked" })
 public String getSuccessJsonString(String msg){
  String jsonString = "";
  LinkedHashMap list = new LinkedHashMap();
  list.put("response_status","true");

  list.put("result", msg);
  jsonString = JSONValue.toJSONString(list);

  return jsonString;

  • BaseResource.java

  • HelloWorldResource.java

    1. Restlet version is 2.0. You can use the latest version also. As new versions are backward compatible.

  4. nice demo of JSON-speaking restlet/servlet! Simple...the hardest part for me was rounding up the libs.
    Recommend u change POST to store the name (and not return it in the result) and change GET to return the name in the result. I added that bit of code but would be curious to see how u would achieve it.
