In conclusion

Much of what has caused Java developers to grumble as we've built RESTful Web services using conventional JEE technology stacks has been resolved by the Restlet API. The goal of Restlet is to feel comfortable to servlet developers, but to allow them the freedom to pick appropriately sized containers to deploy their services. It is now much easier to expose meaningful, logical names to the information served by your applications.

In the next article in this series, we'll explore NetKernel, a resource-oriented computing platform that takes what is cool about REST, Unix, and SOAs and builds it into a flexible, scalable software environment.
