Hi,

Restlet should be able to run in an OSGi environment (see http://wiki.restlet.org/developers/172-restlet/267-restlet/124-restlet.html)
I don't see the direct benefit for the Activiti project of changing the code to JAX-RS and JAXB.

Best regards,

While it is true that restlet can be run on an OSGi environment we wouldn't like to add it because if we do we'll be using two different REST Frameworks in the same application.

I'm not suggesting a change in the REST framework used by the Activiti project. I'm simply trying to add the possibility of using any REST Framework instead of being forced to use Restlet.
Restlet also supports JAX-RS and JAXB.

If you would like to follow the proposed changes, I've created a Pull Request at Github: https://github.com/lcavadas/Activiti/pull/1
I've only started it today so there isn't much done yet.

Best Regards,

Hello

I am looking for a jersey implementation as well which automatically generates the application.wadl files based on tags in the java source.
generating client stubs from the wadl file is not possible as of now, unless I haven't found it yet.
