The Restlet Extension for ADO.NET Data Services is part of the
Restlet open source project (www.restlet.org), a lightweight
REST framework for Java. This Restlet Extention makes it easier for
Java developers to take advantage of the ADO.NET Data Services, a
set of features recently added to the .NET Framework. Part of the
.NET Framework, ADO.NET Data Services offer a simple way to expose
any sort of data in a RESTful way and is also available on the
Window Azure. The Restlet Extension for ADO.NET Data Services
provides a high-level client Application Programming Interface
(API) that extends the Restlet framework and give access to remote
Data Services hosted in an ASP.NET servers or on the Windows Azure
cloud computing platform. The extension contains a code
generator that creates proxy classes based on the metadata
exposed by the ADO.NET Data Services and a runtime library that
takes care of the communication between the Java client
application and ADO.NET Data Services.
