RestLet: An exception occured writing the response entity

I have just begun creating my first restlet application. I have followed the restlet first steps tutorial. I have created all the files exactly as stated and the server runs perfectly when I run it but then when I call my service via postman I get this error:

Error:

Error while handling an HTTP server call

Here is my code:

Helloworld Class:

package smartRoom;


import org.restlet.resource.Get;
import org.restlet.resource.ServerResource;

/**
 * Resource which has only one representation.
 */
public class Helloworld extends ServerResource {


    @Get
    public String represent() {

        return "hello, world";
    }

}

and here is my application class:

package smartRoom;

import org.restlet.Application;
import org.restlet.Component;
import org.restlet.Restlet;
import org.restlet.data.Protocol;
import org.restlet.routing.Router;

public class HelloworldAppilcation extends Application {


    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {  
        // Create a new Component.  
        Component component = new Component();  

        // Add a new HTTP server listening on port 8182.  
        component.getServers().add(Protocol.HTTP, 8182);  

        // Attach the sample application.  
        component.getDefaultHost().attach("/firstSteps",  
                new HelloworldAppilcation());  

        // Start the component.  
        component.start();  
    }    



    /**
     * Creates a root Restlet that will receive all incoming calls.
     */
    @Override
    public synchronized Restlet createInboundRoot() {
        // Create a router Restlet that routes each call to a new instance of HelloWorldResource.
        Router router = new Router(getContext());

        // Defines only one route
        router.attach("/hello", Helloworld.class);

        return router;
    }

}

I have been unable to find any content online regarding this error. I re-created the project from scratch following the instructions to the tee and still got the same error. I am unsure as to what I am doing wrong and any help would be greatly apprecaited.

Update

yes I can confirm the port is open and listening

enter image description here

update Two

http://restlet.com/technical-resources/restlet-framework/guide/2.2/editions/jse/overview

I have now also tried the maven tutorial and got the same result.

Update Three

I gave it another go today and started from scratch re-downloading everything and it work perfectly this time. Not exactly sure what the problem was, but was most likely to do with the version of restlet is was using.

for me it worked after I added extension org.restlet.ext.jetty to classpath as suggested. BTW I used Gradle to build project.

I would suggest you to use the version 2.3 of Restlet with a server connector like Jetty (add extension org.restlet.ext.jetty in your classpath).

As far as I can see, you did the right things to implement a starter application with Restlet.

Can you give us the exact version of Restlet you use?

Here is a sample of file pom.xml that you can try for your application:

<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">
    <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>

    <groupId>org.restlet</groupId>
    <artifactId>restlet-starter</artifactId>
    <name>${project.artifactId}</name>
    <packaging>jar</packaging>
    <version>1.0.0-snapshot</version>

    <properties>
        <restlet-version>2.3.1</restlet-version>
    </properties>

    <dependencies>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.restlet.jse</groupId>
            <artifactId>org.restlet</artifactId>
            <version>${restlet-version}</version>
        </dependency>

        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.restlet.jse</groupId>
            <artifactId>org.restlet.ext.jetty</artifactId>
            <version>${restlet-version}</version>
        </dependency>
    </dependencies>

    <repositories>
        <repository>
            <id>maven-restlet</id>
            <name>Public online Restlet repository</name>
            <url>http://maven.restlet.com</url>
        </repository>
    </repositories>
</project>

Hope it helps you, Thierry
