I've been looking the source code available from the Restlet official tutorial.

I am trying to hit the Restlet server using the Android app from he tutorial adn I only get the JSON response, not the Java Object. I tried using all libraries and extensions, nothing works. When I hit the tutorial url though ( http://restlet-example-serialization.appspot.com/contacts/123) I get the desired response. Any ideas? BTW, I am just using the server (GAE) in the example, not the GWT frontend.

Use GSOn to convert json to java object. GSON you can get from google as its their code:

http://code.google.com/p/google-gson/

Other way:

Response res = client.handle(req); 
    ObjectRepresentation<Item> obj = new ObjectRepresentation<Item>(res.getEntity()); 
    Item item = obj.getObject();

  • I do not want to do that. In theory, the beauty of Restlet is that you are dealing with Java objects only and you don't have to serialize/deserialize. Any other ideas? – oviroa Nov 15 '10 at 15:14

    So in the Android client, the tutorial has this piece of code: contact = resource.retrieve(); where contact is of type Contact and Resource is of type ContactServerResource. How does your code replace that? And why does this code work when I access the estlet-example-serialization app but not when I deploy the code under my app in GAE? – oviroa Nov 15 '10 at 20:46
