Interface AsyncUniformInterface

All Known Implementing Classes:
AsyncWebResource, AsyncWebResource.Builder

public interface AsyncUniformInterface

An asynchronous uniform interface for invoking HTTP requests.

Any Java type for a response entity, that is supported by the client configuration of the client, may be declared using Class<T> where T is the Java type, or using GenericType where the generic parameter is the Java type.

Any Java type instance for a request entity, that is supported by the client configuration of the client, can be passed. If generic information is required then an instance of GenericEntity may be used.

A type of ClientResponse declared for the response entity may be used to obtain the status, headers and response entity. If any other type is declared and the response status is greater than or equal to 300 then a UniformInterfaceException exception will be thrown, from which the ClientResponse instance can be accessed.
