Resteasy's client proxy frameork has been a very popular feature and in
use for 6+ years. Basically it allows you to use JAX-RS annotations on
the client side to create a typed client proxy. i.e.
@Path("/")
public interface MyService {
@GET
MyData getData(@QueryParam("param") String param);
@POST
Response postData(@FormParam("param") int param);
}
Then, you can take this interface and generate a client proxy:
Client client = ClientBuilder.newClient();
MyService service = client.proxy(MyService.class);
MyData data = service.getData("value");
There's other minor details involved, but do you get the gist? Again,
this is a very popular feature and IMO, a very natural extension to the
client api.
