Hi Kesav,

I confirm that Restlet extension for Data Services doesn’t support the publishing of server-side Data Services yet. If have added a note for this in our issue tracker:

“Enhance Data Services extension”
http://restlet.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=955

It is however perfectly possible publish Atom (APP) and JSON services in Restlet, but it won’t have a high level support in ASP.NET AJAX.

Cheers,
Jerome

Hi Jerome,

Thanks for the reply. So restlet doesn’t provide ability for atom publish type of discovery feature? ADO.NET (WCF) Data services provide a discovery feature using atom publish. If restlet also can publish similar discovery then we can consume restlet from ASP.NET AJAX also. For now I will see how I can work with regular JSON reprasentation.

Hi Kesav,

This bridge currently only provides a way to consume Data Services. An alternative would be to expose regular REST services with JSON representations that ASP.NET AJAX will be able to consume (not as conveniently).

Cheers,

Does this bridge also support the Microsoft ASP.NET AJAX libraries? Currently the AJAX libraries have Sys.components.adoNetDataContext to connect to ADO.NET Data Services. Can this AJAX be able to connect to restlet service? This way we can consume the restlet services using the AJAX libraries.

[...] A new extension for Microsoft ADO.NET Data Services (previously known as “project Astoria”) was added. It provides a high-level client API based on the ClientResource class that lets you access remote Data Services hosted in an ASP.NET servers or on the Windows Azure cloud computing platform. The extension contains both a code generator for the representation beans and a runtime layer. This extension is in the “org.restlet.ext.dataservices” package and depends on “org.restlet.ext.atom” and “org.restlet.ext.xml” extensions.” [...]

[...] Restlet es un framework ligero que ayuda a desarrollar clientes y servicios REST en la plataforma Java. Mientras que ADO.NET Data Services (aka Astoria) permite la creación de servicios REST que exponen datos, así como los clientes que los consumen, dentro de la plataforma .NET de Microsoft. Restlet Extension for ADO.NET Data Services es el puente entre ambos. [...]
