Put request using rest

Question

I have recently begun studyin the restlet interface. I don t know how to translate this method put using the restlet interface.

curl -X PUT  http://ip:port/testdb2

How can I translate this request? So far , i have this code :

  ClientResource resource = new ClientResource("http://"+this.ip+":5984/"); 


        // Send the HTTP GET request 
        Representation r=resource.get(); 

        if (resource.getStatus().isSuccess()) { 
           resource.getResponseEntity().write(System.out); 
        }   

        resource.put(null);

        if (resource.getStatus().isSuccess()){ 
             resource.getResponseEntity().write(System.out); 
        } else 
            System.out.println("Error put");

How do I specify the new url? I need this request to create a couchDB database.

Answer 1

Rephrasing your question, I'll use "How do I issue a PUT request to this url ..."

Per http://www.restlet.org/documentation/2.0/firstResource#part07

Perhaps something like

ClientResource dbResource = new ClientResource(  
            "http://"+this.ip+":5984/testdb2");

Representation r = dbResource.put(null);
