Restlet Java Framework - does Client need to be closed in some way?

Question

I've just inherited some code that uses the Restlet framework - must admit I'd never even heard of it until now.

The pattern seems to be to do:

Request request = new Request(method, uri);
Client client = new Client(protocols);
Response response = client.handle(request);

but when I was debugging the code, I noticed quite a few daemon threads running. Is that normal? Should the code be closing the Client or something similar?

Thanks,

Paul

You should call client.stop() when you are done.

Thank you. I notice that the code does not call client.start() - is that done implicitly? – user265330 May 22 '12 at 14:20
Yes, start() is implicit on first call. It can be called manually for warm-up purpose. – Jerome Louvel Jun 04 '12 at 15:14
@JeromeLouvel: Is it required to call client.stop()? I can not find any reference in the documentation or book about calling stop() – rve Nov 17 '12 at 18:58
