So I removed the code that initialized a new instance of the TunnelService as apparently it was enabled by default already. I have successfully tested the request POST http://host/app/resource/15?method=UPDATE. However performing a DELETE operation the same way results in a GET. The tomcat logs do not give any stack traces or other output that would indicate something is wrong. I also have logger messages set to display when the removeRepresentation method is called but am seeing nothing in the logs. Lastly, I can confirm DELETE http://host/app/resource/15 works using a restlet java client for testing.
This seems quite strange. Jean-Philippe On Sat, Jan 31, 2009 at 4:27 AM, Jerome Louvel <jerome.lou...@noelios.com>wrote: > Hello, > > This should really work...
