I did some more testing and it looks like the issue here is the Spring extension. I removed the dependency on Spring and just used the ServerServlet class in the servlet ext package and calling OPTIONS works. I found this discussion from a few years back http://restlet-discuss.1400322.n2.nabble.com/Integrating-WADL-and-Spring-td2437617.html
I was hoping that maybe I could use the Spring extension and still get the out-of-the-box WADL representations from WadlApplication and WadlServerResource - even without any extra config you still get a lot. But I can't even get that to work. Again if anyone has any insight I'm all ears. -- View this message in context: http://restlet-discuss.1400322.n2.nabble.com/OPTIONS-and-TRACE-not-being-caught-by-Restlet-Server-tp7578142p7578150.html Sent from the Restlet Discuss mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------ http://restlet.tigris.org/ds/viewMessage.do?dsForumId=4447&dsMessageId=2973757
