[Answer]-Error using ModelResource: can't set attribute

Resources and routers are not finished/supported in [the beta of] REST framework 2 yet. The docs on them are a placeholder for what I want the design to look like, but I’ll be removing them from the index today. Hopefully they’ll make it in for 2.0, but I don’t see it as at all essential, since you can do everything you need with Views and explicit URLconfs. Resources & routers just give you a useful shortcut.
