Jerome,

I followed the link to that RFE but couldn't find more explanation of
this war:// pseudo-protocol

actually, I do find this paragrpah there, which makes me assume more
"pseudo-protocols" are in play already?

I'm using "pseudo-protocol" here as the term Apache Cocoon is using for
'new' URI-schemes that map to resources internal to the running Cocoon
system (these are cocoon:// cocoon:/ and context:/ )

FWIW: These allow to call upon the current server again without a need
to actually go over the wire or even serialize the intermediate
representations. ( i.e. an alternative to needing http://localhost/ if
you like)
Since this approach helps in modularizing apps I'm compelled to learn if
restlet has similar features.


Dunno if my current background is making me read hints here that are
just not there, but if you have a pointer to more in depth explanation
or samples on what this "war://" or the other mentioned stuff is about
then I'll be happily checking that out and drawing my own coclusions
