Restlet brings back null in android but not Java SE

I already have a solution - but would love an explanation why

Problem When doing a Restlet GET in Android - I great fine results with basic types (long) but I also have an Object with a ListArray being returned and that is always null. Works fine in a JAVA SE test app

I read the forums and saw someone mention including

Engine.getInstance().getRegisteredConverters().add(new JacksonConverter());

This works for me ! Great - but why ? I don't want my app to flake out on something else and not know how to understand and solve it.

Cheers

This is due to the fact that Android APK files excludes the META-INF/services directories used to automatically detect available converters in Restlet.

Hence, you need to manually register them.
