Hallo Pavel,
thanks for the quick reply.
I mean different classes by different types. The code is like:
Client c = Client.create();
WebResource r = c.resoutce("
http://somehost/");
ClientResponse cr =
r.accept(MediaType.APPLICATION_XML_TYPE).get(ClientResponse.class);
sometimes I need: ClassA objectA= cr.getEntity(ClassA.class);
but sometimes I need: ClassB objectB= cr.getEntity(ClassB.class);
The question is how can I know which class is included in the client
response.
Best Regards
Pengfei
