Restlet 1.0.4

Restlet is a framework that brings the simplicity and efficiency of the REST architectural style to Java developers.
Restlet project is composed of two parts, a neutral API and a reference implementation (Noelios Restlet Engine). It supports all REST concepts (resource, representation, data, connector, components, etc.) and is suitable for both client and server REST applications.
The server connectors provided are HTTP (via Mortbays Jetty or an adapter Servlet) and the client connectors are HTTP, JDBC, and SMTP (via JavaMail).
Mission
- Bring the simplicity and efficiency of the REST architectural style to Java developers
Restlet API
- Supports all REST concepts (resource, representation, data, connector, components, etc.)
- Suitable for both client and server Web applications
- Maplets support the concept of URIs as UI with advanced pattern matching features
- Chainlets filter calls to implement features such as logging and authentication
- Complete alternative to Servlet API with no external dependency (JAR < 60kb)
- Supports blocking and non-blocking NIO modes
Noelios Restlet Engine (NRE)
- Reference implementation of the Restlet API provided by Noelios Consulting (core JAR < 110kb)
- Server connector provided: HTTP (via Jetty connectors or Servlet connector)
- Client connectors provided: HTTP, JDBC, SMTP (via JavaMail)
- Supports logging (LogChainlet), authentication (GuardChainlet) and cool URIs rewriting (RedirectRestlet)
- Static files serving (DirectoryRestlet) with metadata association based on file extensions
- FreeMarker template representations as an alternative to JSP pages
- Automatic server-side content negotiation based on media type and language
