Features

ClientFactory service for JAX-RS 2.0 Client creation

The ClientFactory provides a single API to create a javax.ws.rs.client.Client or a javax.ws.rs.client.ClientBuilder object.

@Inject
private ClientFactory factory;
...
Client client = factory.createClient();
String response = client.target("http://www.iheartquotes.com/api/v1/random").request(MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN_TYPE).get(String.class);

Tip

If your addon uses a container that does not support "@Inject" annotations, services such as the ClientFactory may also be accessed via the AddonRegistry: AddonRegistry registry = ... Imported<ClientFactory> imported = registry.getServices(ClientFactory.class); ClientFactory factory = imported.get();
