Re: ServerResource conditional mode

[Tal Liron]

You don't need to put a media type if you're using void (although, you could potentially have more than one @Post handler, for several media types, to be used depending on the expectation of a media type from the client...). But, you do need to disable conditional mode: @Post public void handlePost(Representation rep) { ... } @Override protected void init() {     setConditional(false); } Why? I'm still a bit in the dark about this. My current instinct tells me that there's a bug in how the preferred variant is calculated for conditional mode, in that it doesn't gather variants for the particular method. Thus, I suspect (I haven't tested this) that if you had a @Get with a particular media type (say, @Get("txt")) then there would be a preferred variant and your @Post would be called, even in conditional mode. Please take that last paragraph with a truckload of salt. :) -Tal David Fogel wrote: Hi Tal- I will definitely take a look at your script extension, thanks for the suggestion! I think I understand the general deal with the mediatype annotation argument. But like I said, I was trying to define a Post method that doesn't return content (and which therefore wouldn't make sense to declare a mediatype for. So what's the right annotation argument for this method? @Post("[what goes here?]") public void handlePost(Representation rep) { ... } what I found was that I had to put a return type or a mediatype, or else ServerResource refuses to call the method, due to the lack of a "preferredVariant". -Dave ------------------------------------------------------ http://restlet.tigris.org/ds/viewMessage.do?dsForumId=4447&dsMessageId=1529543
