Bruno, Thank you for your response.
Currently I have two purchased systems communicating with each other through custom software using a servlet and xml response. What I will like to do is to turn this into web service client and service architecture. I did not write the software for the receiving system, but do use provided APIs to validate the user. In order to use the APIs I need the original HttpServletRequest. I am not sure how restlets can be useful if it cannot integrate with legacy or existing systems.
