[equinox-dev] Re: [GSoC] Restlet integration with Equinox

[Jerome Louvel <jerome.louvel@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Scott, Rajeev and all,

Thanks for your interest Rajeev in this GSoC project.

Scott, it seems that the integration of Restlet with ECF could give you 
with fully-featured server-side REST support. This would also be a nice 
use case for the GSoC "Restlet integration with Equinox" project.

I've recently created a wiki page for this project. Maybe we could 
propose another GSoC project for this specific topic?

"ECF integration"
http://wiki.restlet.org/developers/172-restlet/350-restlet.html

Otherwise, Restlet 2.0 (currently in RC stage) fully supports 
asynchronous request processing on both server-side and client-side so 
it looks like a good fit for your ECF requirements. It also nicely 
integrates with Jetty 7.0.

Best regards,
Jerome Louvel
