Atbash MicroProfile rest client
MicroProfile rest client defines a type-safe approach for invoking RESTful services.
This Atbash implementation has the following goals
. Independent implementation, not part of a larger framework or MP server implementation. . Must be useable on any Java EE 7 and Java EE 8 compliant server . Must be useable from Java 7
Compliant, not certified.
Since we liked to have this Atbash implementation to be based on Java 7, The API code (Of Eclipse MicroProfile Rest client) is ported to Java 7 (as it is based on Java 8)
Due to the usage of some Java 8 features, the port to Java 7 is not identical and thus some small differences exists.
For example the programmatic retrieval of the Rest Client is done like this
AbstractRestClientBuilder.newBuilder().build(HelloService.class);
But official way is
RestClientBuilder.newBuilder().build(HelloService.class);
Work in Progress
Only the basic features of the Rest Client 1.0 specification is implemented and ported. Supported is
. Calling JAX-RS endpoint. . Using PathParam, QueryParam and HeaderParam . Using methods GET, POST, PUT and DELETE . Using CDI and programmatic lookup . Using JSON payloads
Not supported for the moment
. Custom exception mapping
