MediaType issue

[jon]

I have some hard time supporting more than one variant in my resource (pdf and excel)

 @Get("pdf|excel")
 public Representation getReport(Variant variant) {
   if(MediaType.APPLICATION_EXCEL.isCompatible(variant.getMediaType()) {
      ...
   }
...}

I guess the point is that restlet sends the correct variant as a parameter (above) based on what the accept header defines in the request. But when testing in the restlet client, setting Accept:application/excel (or json) the variant is always application/pdf. 

If i clear the variants like this, and add them manually: 

 getVariants().clear();
 getVariants().add(new Variant(MediaType.APPLICATION_PDF));
 getVariants().add(new Variant(MediaType.APPLICATION_EXCEL));

I get: The method specified in the request is not allowed for the resource identified by the request URI

Using ?media=excel i the URI does not work either.

Any ideas?

I wasn’t aware of the Variant argument behavior in ServerResource. Where is that documented?

Does it work if you factor into two methods?

@Get("pdf")
public PdfRepresentation getReportPdf() {
  ...
}

@Get("excel")
public ExcelRepresentation getReportExcel() {
  ...
}

Hi there,

You should make sure that the metadata service of your parent application has the "pdf" and "excel" extensions properly registered.

By default, I think you should use "xls" instead of "excel".

Best regards,

Jerome

Thanks, 

it helped a lot using the correct extention name :-) I checked the metadata, and all extentionnames are registered by default as far as i can see.

For some reason i had to remove the:

 getVariants().add(new Variant(MediaType.APPLICATION_PDF));
 getVariants().add(new Variant(MediaType.APPLICATION_EXCEL));

in doInit(..) to make it work (was just test code anyhow).

The request media type is application/vnd.ms-excel using uri: ......?media=xls, but will be identified by the system using .isCompatible(...)
