Would something like this work?
ClientResponse response = webResource.path("test/x").accept(
MediaType.APPLICATION_XML).get(ClientResponse.class);
if (response.getStatus() == 200)
{
return response.getEntity(MyJAXBEntity.class);
}
else
{
err = response.getEntity(MyErrorMessage.class);
throw new Exception(err.getCode());
}
where the MyErrorMessage class has a "code" property containing a string
representation of the "code" value.
