Class ApacheConnector

java.lang.Object
  org.glassfish.jersey.client.RequestWriter
      org.glassfish.jersey.apache.connector.ApacheConnector

All Implemented Interfaces:

Connector, Inflector<ClientRequest,ClientResponse>

public class ApacheConnector
extends RequestWriter
implements Connector

A Connector that utilizes the Apache HTTP Client to send and receive HTTP request and responses.

The following properties are only supported at construction of this class:

• ApacheClientProperties.CONNECTION_MANAGER
• ApacheClientProperties.HTTP_PARAMS
• ApacheClientProperties.CREDENTIALS_PROVIDER
• ApacheClientProperties.DISABLE_COOKIES
• ApacheClientProperties.PROXY_URI
• ApacheClientProperties.PROXY_USERNAME
• ApacheClientProperties.PROXY_PASSWORD
• ApacheClientProperties.PREEMPTIVE_BASIC_AUTHENTICATION

By default a request entity is buffered and repeatable such that authorization may be performed automatically in response to a 401 response.

If the property ClientProperties.CHUNKED_ENCODING_SIZE size is set to a value greater than 0 then chunked encoding will be enabled and the request entity (if present) will not be buffered and is not repeatable. For authorization to work in such scenarios the property ApacheClientProperties.PREEMPTIVE_BASIC_AUTHENTICATION must be set to true.

If a ClientResponse is obtained and an entity is not read from the response then InboundMessageContext.close() MUST be called after processing the response to release connection-based resources.

Client operations are thread safe, the HTTP connection may be shared between different threads.

If a response entity is obtained that is an instance of Closeable then the instance MUST be closed after processing the entity to release connection-based resources.

The following methods are currently supported: HEAD, GET, POST, PUT, DELETE and OPTIONS.
