restlet web service not working

public class MyTestClientResource {

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {

ClientResource clientResource = new ClientResource(
"http://localhost:8182/rest/test");
MyTestResource testResource = clientResource.wrap(MyTestResource.class);

// Retrieve the JSON value
Customer result = testResource.retrieve();

System.out.println("CUSTOMER " + result);
if (result != null) {
System.out.println(result);
}
}
}


public interface MyTestResource {

@Get
public Customer retrieve();

@Put
public void store(Customer customer);

@Post
public void stop() throws Exception;

@Delete
public void remove() throws Exception;

}


public class TestServerResource extends ServerResource implements MyTestResource {

private static volatile Customer myCustomer = Customer.createSample();
private static Server server = null;

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
server = new Server(Protocol.HTTP, 8182, TestServerResource.class);
server.start();
}

public Customer retrieve() {
System.out.println("GET request received");
System.out.println("CUSTOMER( " + myCustomer + ")");
return myCustomer;
}

public void store(Customer customer) {
System.out.println("PUT request received");
myCustomer = customer;
}

public void stop() throws Exception {
System.out.println("POST request received");
server.stop();
}

public void remove() throws Exception {
System.out.println("DELETE request received");
myCustomer = null;
}

}


runnning MyTestClientResource results in

CUSTOMER = null

I carefully copied all of the source code from the example but it just doesn't work. Any ideas? Thank you very much

OK, trying to get this stuff to work on your own is crazy. The pieces and parts that are presented in the user's guide are incomplete. I finally located some working source files.
