| <div class="block"><h1>The Client API</h1> |
| |
| The Client API is a Java based API used to access Web resources. |
| It is not restricted to resources implemented using this API. |
| It provides a higher-level abstraction compared to a <a href="https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/net/HttpURLConnection.html?is-external=true" title="class or interface in java.net" class="externalLink"><code>plain HTTP communication API</code></a> as well as integration with extension |
| providers, in order to enable concise and efficient implementation of |
| reusable client-side solutions that leverage existing and well |
| established client-side implementations of HTTP-based communication. |
| <p/> |
| The Client API encapsulates the Uniform Interface Constraint – |
| a key constraint of the REST architectural style – and associated data |
| elements as client-side Java artifacts and supports a pluggable architecture |
| by defining multiple extension points. |
| |
| <h2>Client API Bootstrapping and Configuration</h2> |
| The main entry point to the API is a <a href="ClientBuilder.html" title="class in javax.ws.rs.client"><code>ClientBuilder</code></a> |
| that is used to bootstrap <a href="Client.html" title="interface in javax.ws.rs.client"><code>Client</code></a> instances - |
| <a href="../core/Configurable.html" title="interface in javax.ws.rs.core"><code>configurable</code></a>, heavy-weight objects |
| that manage the underlying communication infrastructure and serve as the root |
| objects for accessing any Web resource. The following example illustrates the |
| bootstrapping and configuration of a <code>Client</code> instance: |
| <pre> |
| Client client = ClientBuilder.newClient(); |
| |
| client.property("MyProperty", "MyValue") |
| .register(MyProvider.class) |
| .register(MyFeature.class); |
| </pre> |
| |
| <h2>Accessing Web Resources</h2> |
| A Web resource can be accessed using a fluent API in which method invocations |
| are chained to configure and ultimately submit an HTTP request. The following |
| example gets a <code>text/plain</code> representation of the resource identified by |
| <code>"http://example.org/hello"</code>: |
| <pre> |
| Client client = ClientBuilder.newClient(); |
| Response res = client.target("http://example.org/hello").request("text/plain").get(); |
| </pre> |
| Conceptually, the steps required to submit a request are the following: |
| <ol> |
| <li>obtain an <a href="Client.html" title="interface in javax.ws.rs.client"><code>Client</code></a> instance</li> |
| <li>create a <a href="WebTarget.html" title="interface in javax.ws.rs.client"><code>WebTarget</code></a> pointing at a Web resource</li> |
| <li><a href="Invocation.Builder.html" title="interface in javax.ws.rs.client"><code>build</code></a> a request</li> |
| <li>submit a request to directly retrieve a response or get a prepared |
| <a href="Invocation.html" title="interface in javax.ws.rs.client"><code>Invocation</code></a> for later submission</li> |
| </ol> |
| |
| As illustrated above, individual Web resources are in the Client API |
| represented as resource targets. Each <code>WebTarget</code> instance is bound to a |
| concrete URI, e.g. <code>"http://example.org/messages/123"</code>, |
| or a URI template, e.g. <code>"http://example.org/messages/{id}"</code>. |
| That way a single target can either point at a particular resource or represent |
| a larger group of resources (that e.g. share a common configuration) from which |
| concrete resources can be later derived: |
| <pre> |
| // Parent target for all messages |
| WebTarget messages = client.target("http://example.org/messages/{id}"); |
| |
| // New target for http://example.org/messages/123 |
| WebTarget msg123 = messages.resolveTemplate("id", 123); |
| |
| // New target for http://example.org/messages/456 |
| WebTarget msg456 = messages.resolveTemplate("id", 456); |
| </pre> |
| |
| <h2>Generic Invocations</h2> |
| An <a href="Invocation.html" title="interface in javax.ws.rs.client"><code>Invocation</code></a> is a request that has been prepared |
| and is ready for execution. |
| Invocations provide a generic interface that enables a separation of concerns |
| between the creator and the submitter. In particular, the submitter does not |
| need to know how the invocation was prepared, but only whether it should be |
| executed synchronously or asynchronously. |
| <pre> |
| Invocation inv1 = client.target("http://example.org/atm/balance") |
| .queryParam("card", "111122223333").queryParam("pin", "9876") |
| .request("text/plain").buildGet(); |
| Invocation inv2 = client.target("http://example.org/atm/withdrawal") |
| .queryParam("card", "111122223333").queryParam("pin", "9876") |
| .request().buildPost(text("50.0"))); |
| |
| Collection<Invocation> invs = Arrays.asList(inv1, inv2); |
| // Executed by the submitter |
| Collection<Response> ress = Collections.transform(invs, new F<Invocation, Response>() { |
| public Response apply(Invocation inv) {return inv.invoke(); } |
| }); |
| </pre></div> |
