Interface Invocation.Builder

All Superinterfaces:: SyncInvoker

Enclosing interface:: Invocation

public static interface Invocation.Builder
extends SyncInvoker

A client request invocation builder. The builder, obtained via a call to one of the request(...) methods on a resource target, provides methods for preparing a client request invocation. Once the request is prepared the invocation builder can be either used to build an Invocation with a generic execution interface:

 Client client = ClientBuilder.newClient();
 WebTarget resourceTarget = client.target("http://examples.jaxrs.com/");
 // Build a HTTP GET request that accepts "text/plain" response type
 // and contains a custom HTTP header entry "Foo: bar".
 Invocation invocation = resourceTarget.request("text/plain")
 .header("Foo", "bar").buildGet();
 // Invoke the request using generic interface
 String response = invocation.invoke(String.class);

Alternatively, one of the inherited

synchronous invocation
 methods

can be used to invoke the prepared request and return the server response in a single step, e.g.:

 Client client = ClientBuilder.newClient();
 WebTarget resourceTarget = client.target("http://examples.jaxrs.com/");
 // Build and invoke the get request in a single step
 String response = resourceTarget.request("text/plain")
 .header("Foo", "bar").get(String.class);

Once the request is fully prepared for invoking, switching to an asynchronous invocation mode is possible by calling the async() method on the builder, e.g.:

 Client client = ClientBuilder.newClient();
 WebTarget resourceTarget = client.target("http://examples.jaxrs.com/");
 // Build and invoke the get request asynchronously in a single step
 Future response = resourceTarget.request("text/plain")
 .header("Foo", "bar").async().get(String.class);

Invocation buildPost(Entity<?> entity)
```
    Build a POST request invocation.
    
    Parameters:
    
    entity - request entity, including it's full Variant information. Any variant-related HTTP headers previously set (namely Content-Type, Content-Language and Content-Encoding) will be overwritten using the entity variant information.
    
    Returns:
    
    invocation encapsulating the built POST request.
  - buildPut
```
Invocation buildPut(Entity<?> entity)
```
    Build a PUT request invocation.
    
    Parameters:
    
    entity - request entity, including it's full Variant information. Any variant-related HTTP headers previously set (namely Content-Type, Content-Language and Content-Encoding) will be overwritten using the entity variant information.
    
    Returns:
    
    invocation encapsulating the built PUT request.
  - async

If a property with a given name is already set in the request context, the existing value of the property will be updated. Setting a null value into a property effectively removes the property from the request property bag.
    
    Parameters:
    
    name - property name.
    
    value - (new) property value. null value removes the property with the given name.
