Question

I have the following

    public synchronized Restlet createRoot() {
    Router router = new Router(getContext());
    router.attach("/search/{query}", SearchResource.class);
    return router;
}

So query is the search query (variable)

I am trying to get this variable from my resource but I am always returned null.

public SearchResource() {
    searchQuery = (String) getRequestAttributes().get("query");
}

I am getting a null pointer at getRequestAttributes() or if I try getRequest().getAttributes()

Am I doing something wrong?

This works for me :

public class SearchResource extends ServerResource {

        @Get
    public YourBean getYourBean() {
           String searchQuery = (String) getRequest().getAttributes().get("searchQuery");
           .....
       }
}
