JAXRS has a Client API which is used for accessing web resources and also integrates with providers. When running microservices or writing tests, the Client API serves as a tool for invoking target web resources. To work with the API, we must first obtain an instance of Client using the ClientBuilder.newClient method. Using the fluent API, a request is created and submitted by chaining method invocations whose names should be self-descriptive:
Client client = ClientBuilder.newClient();
Response res = client.target("http://somewhere.org/hello")
.queryParam("param","...");
.request("application/json")
.header("X-Header","...")
.get();
Both Client and WebTarget provide for registering filters and interceptors on the client-side. The API can also be utilized...
