Subject: [Jersey] Sending a PATCH request from JAX-RS client?
I have been bullied into using the PATCH approach for partial updates, and had no problem creating a server side annotation and implementation for this.
However, when I try to write client code for testing, it fails. It seems to be systemic, rather than an error on my part, as the error shows up as
java.net.ProtocolException: Invalid HTTP method: PATCH
at java.net.HttpURLConnection.setRequestMethod(HttpURLConnection.java:440)
and a quick check of the documentation for HttpURLConnection does indeed indicate that it's unwilling to allow anything other than the specfic methods it lists, and that list doesn't include PATCH.
So is the JAX-RS client unable to do PATCH (or other custom methods)? Or is there some approach to getting this to work?
In case it's of any interest, my attempt to create this request is nutshelled in this:
Response r = ib1.build("PATCH", Entity.json(new CustomerTO("Phoenix", null))).invoke();
Any pointers will be gratefully accepted...
Cheers,
Simon
