Hi, I believe I may have found a bug with the way SpringFinder works in Restlet 2.1.4.
I have two Application subclasses, each with one Router. Call them app1 and app2, mapped in my servlet-based web app to "/app1" and "/app2". Both apps define a template "/metadata" mapped to their own private Resource subclasses (Metadata1Resource and Metadata2Resource). app2 happens to be initialized after app1. I find that invoking /app_1_/metadata instantiates a Metadata_2_Resource. Looking into how this happens, I believe the problem is that SpringFinder is a singleton, and therefore gets attached to both Routers in order of initialization. Since app2 was initialized later, it wins, and the /metadata is looked up relative to that Router. The bit of Spring context for app1 looks like this: <bean id="router1" class="org.restlet.ext.spring.SpringRouter"> <property name="attachments"> <map> <entry key="/metadata"> <!-- GET --> <bean class="org.restlet.ext.spring.SpringFinder"> <lookup-method name="create" bean="metadataResource" /> </bean> </entry> ... </bean> <bean id="metadataResource" class="...Metadata1Resource" scope="prototype" /> and similarly for app2. Both apps are loaded into the same Spring context. If I'm understanding things correctly, this is a fundamental issue in using SpringFinder with multiple Routers. Can anyone give me workaround? I absolutely need my Resource instances to be created by Spring so they get autowired.
