public class RestClient
extends java.lang.Object

The RestClient is the entry point for all rest service operations. The RestClient is used to create instances of Resource classes that are used to make the actual invocations to the service. The client can be initialized with a user supplied configuration to specify custom Provider classes, in addition to other configuration options.

      // create the client
      RestClient client = new RestClient();
      
      // create the resource to make invocations on
      Resource resource = client.resource("http://myhost:80/my/service");
      
      // invoke GET on the resource and receive the response entity as a string
      String entity = resource.get(String.class);
      ...
