-## Prerequisites
+## Running the application
 
 1. Make sure you have a working Java development environment. The Maven configuration of the boilerplate requires at least Java 11.
 2. Clone this repository and don't fork as your code would be visible to other candidates in case you choose to push your implementation to a public repository.

 5. Test the API by fetching data from the status resource by executing `curl http://localhost:8282/status`.
 6. If any of the above fails you need to revisit your development environment or talk to [hannes@metasolutions.se](mailto:hannes@metasolutions.se) (it may be a bug).
 
-## Boilerplate
-
-As you could see as the result of 5. above, the boilerplate is a very basic, but fully functional implementation of a REST API. The boilerplate is built using the [Restlet framework](https://restlet.talend.com/). You may find its documentation of the [resource architecture](https://restlet.talend.com/documentation/user-guide/2.4/core/resource/overview) and the [server tutorial](https://restlet.talend.com/documentation/user-guide/2.4/introduction/first-steps/first-application) useful.
-
-There are only two REST resources: a status resource that attaches to `/status` and a default resource that responds at `/`.
-
-Implementing a new resource involves creating a new class (see `StatusResource.java` as example) and adding it to the router in `RestApplication.java`.

 ## Exercise
 
 1. Implement a new resource `/echo` that responds with the request body when posting (HTTP POST) to it; it should simply mirror the request back as response.

 ## Result
 
 Document your implementation in Text or Markdown format and send it along with your code as a tar.gz archive to [Hannes](mailto:hannes@metasolutions.se). You can also send a link to a Git repository.
+
+## Solution
+
+The `/echo` endpoint will convert any data posted with `Content-Type: text/csv` and `Accept: text/html` to a simple html table.
+All other data will be echoed back unchanged. Empty datasets will return an explanatory message.
+
+* `RestApplication.java`
+  * New router added for path `/echo`
+* `resources/EchoResource.java`
+  * `POST` requests are handled depending on `Content-Type`. CSV-data is handled by the `tablify` method, all others by the `echo` method
+  * The `tablify` method:
+    * Checks for `Accept: text/html` to determine if table conversion should be performed. Requests that do not match are treated like other `Content-Type`s.
+    * Assumes the CSV format in the example.
+    * Returns an explanatory string if POST data is missing or cannot be parsed.
