RE: Usurping Directory
Hi again, To customize the display of the directory listing, you should simply override the following methods in Directory: public ListVariant getIndexVariants(ReferenceList indexContent) public Representation getIndexRepresentation(Variant variant, ReferenceList indexContent) Best regards, Jerome Louvel -- Restlet ~ Founder and Lead developer ~ http://www.restlet.org/ http://www.restlet.org Noelios Technologies ~ Co-founder ~ http://www.noelios.com http://www.noelios.com _ De : Cliff Binstock [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Envoye : samedi 22 novembre 2008 01:37 A : discuss@restlet.tigris.org Objet : RE: Usurping Directory As an upgrade (Restlet request!), looking through the source code it seems that the simplest thing would be if I could insert my own ReferenceList implementation.
