Restlet is a REST framework for Java. It natively supports all REST concepts (Resource, Representation, Connector, Component, etc.) and is suitable for both client and server Web applications.
Restlet is capable to support major Web standards such as HTTP, SMTP, XML, JSON, WADL and Atom. Many extensions are also available to integrate with Servlet, Spring, Jetty, Grizzly, Simple, JAXB, JiBX, Velocity, or FreeMarker.

System requirements:
- JRE 1.5 (or higher)

Enhancements:
- Fixed NPE in Connector class.
- WriterRepresentation was missing a default implementation for getReader() abstract method.
- If an error is found in HttpClientHelper.sendRequest(), StreamClientHelper ignores it and continues to parse the response when it should stop processing.
- Status.isSuccess(), is*Error(), isRedirection() and isInfo() methods now support status classes as specified in HTTP 1.1.
- The request ClientInfo address and port were not available for the default connector and the Grizzly connector.
- Fixed issue in SpringHost preventing usage of the setRoutes(Map) method. Replaced with a setAttachments(Map) method. Added Javadocs example.
- ResourceException wasnt setting a message.
- Representation.isAvailable() now returns false if the size is 0.
- Refactoring of HTTP server connectors code to better deal with HEAD request, 1xx, 204, 205, 304 status codes.
- Ensured all modifiable collections are properly documented in the API.
- Fixed Spring XML loading issue related to validation in SpringContext class.
- Fixed bug with the FileClientHelper returning wrong list of variants.
- Fixed bug in Tag.equals() implementation.
- Fixed NPE in the WAR client of the Servlet extension.
- Caught exception with Simple connector when flushing a closed stream. Now it is logged at a lower priority.
- Fixed NPE in the MediaTypes class.
- Fixed bug in SpringComponent preventing setting of clients.
- Fixed several bugs related to Grizzly (chunked encoding not working, restarting NPE, etc.).
- Added support for Alpha-numerical sorting of index pages in Directory.
- New setComparator, setAlphaComparator and setAlphaNumComparator methods added. The default sorting is now "AlphaNum".
- Added new JsonRepresentation constructors taking a Bean or a Map.
- Updated Spring to version 2.5
- Updated db4o to version 7.0
- Added a new parameter to ServerServlet allowing specification of a custom component to instantiate.
- Synchronized some list setters on Component and Connector with explanation in Javadocs.
- Guard.checkSecret() method now has a Request parameter.
- Added new constructors to CookieSetting.
- Filter.beforeHandle() and doHandle() methods can now indicates if the processing should continue normal, go to the afterHandle() method directly or stop immediately. IMPORTANT NOTE: as it isnt possible to add a return parameter to an existing method, the change can break existing filters. In this case, you just need to return the "CONTINUE" constant from your method and use "int" as return parameter.
- Added Handler.getQuery() method to easily return the requests target resource reference query as a parsed form (series of parameters).
- Added a Reference.clone() method.
- Added more fine-grained lifecycle for Components with new start*() and stop*() methods.
- Added the ability to specify a hostname verifier for the HTTPS client based on JDKs net package.
- Improved robustness of Reference when starting with an empty URI.
- Added Component.updateHosts() method to update the routes after dynamic changes to virtual hosts.
- Added format(Object) and resolve(Object,String) methods to Template to allow for custom variable resolution.
- Added new Spring NRE extension containing a SpringServerServlet facilitating the Servlet Spring Restlet trio integration.
- New classes that give even more integration option (RestletFrameworkServlet, SpringBeanFinder and SpringBeanRouter).
- Added "defaultMatchingMode" property on Router.
- Added "throwable" property to the Status class, respecting the immutability.
- Added "getEphemeralPort()" method on Server to get the local port actually used by the system when the "port" property is set to 0.
- Made the inner Template.VariableResolver interface and "format(VariableResolver)" method public.
- Added JiBX extension, alternative to JAXB.
- Added support for nested resources in WadlComponent.
- Resources with no variant set now log a warning on GET requests.
- Added static Representation.createEmpty() method to return a new empty representation.
- Added Variable.TYPE_URI_PATH to match any path character except in the query or fragment parts.
- Updated and tested the Atom extension to conform to the latest APP specifications. The extension currently allows to retrieve an APP Service Document and Atom Feeds.
- Added MediaType.APPLICATION_ATOM_SERVICE_XML constant.
- Lowered the logging level for some Simple IO exceptions.
- Updated JSON JAR to latest version.
- Externalized mappings between file extensions and media types in the MetadataService.
- Closed an open BufferedReader in IdentClient class,
- Updated FreeMarker to version 2.3.12.
- Added support for DIGEST authentication (client and server side).
- Added a WadlApplication class and refactored the WadlComponent to support many more usage scenarios:
- WadlApplication instances can now be added to existing components.
- WadlApplication instances can be modified to add filters in front of the root router
- WADL description documents can be retrieved via HTTP or other protocols
- Only the necessary client connectors are automatically created
- Added TEXT_JAVASCRIPT media type constant.
- Added MediaType.getMostSpecific(), isCompatible() and isConcrete() methods. Contributed by Stephan Koops.
- Guard is now setting a Principal instance after authorization.
- Refactored engine to support pluggable authentication.
- Updated Grizzly to version 1.7.2
- Added Engine.copyResponseHeaders() method.
- Handlers now return a SERVER_INTERNAL_ERROR instead of CLIENT_NOT_FOUND when no next Restlet is
- attached to them.
- Added Engine.formatCookie(), formatCookieSetting() and equivalent parse*() methods.
- Deprecated Status.isInfo(), replaced by isInformational() to follow HTTP naming.
- Updated HTTP server connectors behaviour in the purpose to avoid the sending of entity when the entity is empty, when the status explicitely forbids the sending of entity (e.g. 1xx, etc), or when the method must not send entity (e.g. HEAD).
- Updated HTTP client connectors behaviour in the purpose to close aggressively the connection in several identified cases when the status explicitely forbids the sending of entity (e.g. 1xx, etc), when the method must not send entity (e.g. HEAD), or when the Content-Length headers value is 0.
- Ensure that the headers of the responses entity will be retrieved even if no message body has been sent (in this case, an empty representation is created).
- Tutorial examples based on applications are now runnable with the Servlet adapter.
- Removed unecessary synchronized keyword on Application.createRoot() and added one to the setRoot() method.
- RIAP request are now considered confidential when dispatched.
