I have set up an App Engine Restlet Project (v 2.2.2) which returns a html or json response (web or android client) and different data from a db for different users. I have implemented HTTP basic authentication. It all works quite well.
my basic setup atm (I have simplified it ofc): MyApplication.java public class MyApplication extends Application { private ChallengeAuthenticator authenticatior; private ChallengeAuthenticator createAuthenticator() {...} public boolean authenticate(Request request, Response response) {...} @Override public Restlet createInboundRoot() { this.authenticatior = createAuthenticator(); Router router = new Router(getContext()); router.attachDefault(MyRestlet.class); authenticatior.setNext(router); return authenticatior; } MyRestlet.java public class MyRestlet extends ServerResource { @Get("json") public Representation getJSON() { MyApplication app = (MyApplication) getApplication(); if (!app.authenticate(getRequest(), getResponse())) { // Not authenticated return null; } else { return data; } @Get("html") public String getHTML() {...} } web.xml <?xml ...> <display-name>MyName</display-name> <context-param> <param-name>org.restlet.application</param-name> <param-value>x.MyApplication</param-value> </context-param> <servlet> <servlet-name>MyRestlet</servlet-name> <servlet-class>org.restlet.ext.servlet.ServerServlet</servlet-class> </servlet> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>MyRestlet</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> </web-app> Now I want to add encryption and created keys/certificates. My guide was this tutorial (http://restlet.com/learn/guide/2.2/core/security/https). I wanted to try to add a simple component first, stay with HTTP and change the port to 8183 as done in this tutorial (http://restlet.com/learn/tutorial/2.2/#/docs_2.0/13-restlet/21-restlet/318-restlet/319-restlet.html). I have now played around quite a bit and cannot seem to get my component to work. So my question is: Where would I put this main-Method (the following code is taken from the tutorial)? Into which class should I insert it or should I create a seperate server-class and what exactly would the required changes to the web.xml look like (I did not find much concerning this and I suspect that this is the central problem)? Any help is appreciated! public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { // Create a new Restlet component and add a HTTP server connector to it Component component = new Component(); component.getServers().add(Protocol.HTTP, 8182); // Then attach it to the local host component.getDefaultHost().attach("/trace", Part05.class); // Now, let's start the component! // Note that the HTTP server connector is also automatically started. component.start(); } ------------------------------------------------------ http://restlet.tigris.org/ds/viewMessage.do?dsForumId=4447&dsMessageId=3089311
