There are plans to do something slightly different.

IMHO while the proxy-based interface approach has a nice element of
reuse it encourages a tight rpc-like coupling between the client and
server.

The approach that we are proposing working with Jan CC'ed, is a POJO
matching approach similar in style to the server-side. This enables of
reuse while also enabling the developer, if they so wish, to better
work with hypermedia.

For more details please see Jan's blogs:

and also see experimental support in Jersey at the maven location here:

   http://download.java.net/maven/2/com/sun/jersey/experimental/view-client/

with samples here:

http://download.java.net/maven/2/com/sun/jersey/experimental/view-client/jersey-view-client-samples/hypermedia-action-sample/


We are looking for feedback on this approach and we plan to move this
from the experimental to the stable area by the September time frame.


BTW Jersey has a plug-able mechanism so that any developer can plug in
a "proxy" based approach. We call these "views" for want of a better
word :-) i can provide more details if you want to learn more.
