Re: [orion-dev] server architecture

[John Arthorne <John_Arthorne@xxxxxxxxxx>]

We have been trying to keep the initial
server implementation minimal and avoid too many technology dependencies.
What's the big advantage of restlet over servlets? I just glanced at the
download for restlet and it seems to be 20MB, which is bigger than our
entire M5 download at the moment. I'm somewhat skeptical that something
so big could indeed simplify our server, but I'm open to looking at it.

I started poking around Orion a bit and noticed that
it currently uses "old-school" servlets.  Would there be
any consideration for using a modern framework such as Restlet for providing
the RESTful services, resources, and representations?  With the OSGi
integration work I've done, it's now pretty trivial to create a dynamic
resource, and I think it would provide a much cleaner implementation.
