Create RestClientManager Object
RestClientManager restClient=new RestClientManager(3);
Create Request
Depending upon Content_type header value, library converts request java object to either json or xml. Likewise upon Accept header value, library build response either from json or xml response.
GET
Map<String,String> headers=new HashMap<>();
String requestUrl="http://localhost:8080/getTestPage";
headers.put(Constant.CONTENT_TYPE, Constant.MEDIATYPE_JSON);
headers.put(Constant.ACCEPT, Constant.MEDIATYPE_JSON);
responseClass=Response.class;
Request request=new GetRequest(requestUrl,headers, responseClass);
POST
Map<String,String> headers=new HashMap<>();
String requestUrl="http://localhost:8080/getTestPage";
headers.put(Constant.CONTENT_TYPE, Constant.MEDIATYPE_JSON);
headers.put(Constant.ACCEPT, Constant.MEDIATYPE_JSON);
responseClass=Response.class;
requestBody=new RequestBody();
Request request=new PostRequest(requestUrl, headers, requestBody, responseClass);
Make Request and Collect Response
Response response=(Response)restClient.getData(request);
Make multiple concurrent requests
// First request with JSON format
requestUrl="http://localhost:8080/getPerson1";
headers.put(Constant.CONTENT_TYPE, Constant.MEDIATYPE_JSON);
headers.put(Constant.ACCEPT, Constant.MEDIATYPE_JSON);
responseClass=Response1.class;
requestBody=new RequestBody1();
((RequestBody1)requestBody).setName("postDummyName1");
Request request1=new PostRequest(requestUrl,headers, requestBody, responseClass);
// Second request with XML formats
requestUrl="http://localhost:8080/getPerson2";
headers.put(Constant.CONTENT_TYPE, Constant.MEDIATYPE_XML);
headers.put(Constant.ACCEPT, Constant.MEDIATYPE_XML);
responseClass=Response2.class;
Request request2=new GetRequest(requestUrl,headers, responseClass);
// Third request with JSON format
requestUrl="http://localhost:8080/getPerson3";
headers.put(Constant.CONTENT_TYPE, Constant.MEDIATYPE_JSON);
headers.put(Constant.ACCEPT, Constant.MEDIATYPE_JSON);
responseClass=Response3.class;
requestBody=new RequestBody3();
((RequestBody3)requestBody).setName("postDummyName3");
Request request3=new PostRequest(requestUrl, headers, requestBody, responseClass);
List<Request> requests=new ArrayList<Request>();
requests.add(request1);
requests.add(request2);
requests.add(request3);
List<Object> responses=(List<Object>)restClient.getData(requests);
