Philip and I did a combined 4H and individual meeting on Wednesday. For our 4H time, Philip was in the driver’s seat and we talked about Restlet, which is the Java REST framework that we’ll be using in Hackystat version 8.
We walked through the tutorials included with Restlet, and after adding a bunch of JARs to Philip’s Eclipse library path, they all seemed to work. There was one that downloaded the most recent bookmarks from del.icio.us, and also Yahoo searches. I believe the examples came from the upcoming O’Reilly book RESTful Web Services. All in all, Restlet looks like a decent foundation for Hackystat 8, and there is even some evidence that it performs well compared to Tomcat.
