copied!<p>As I mentioned in <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/165720/how-to-debug-restful-services#166269">this thread</a> I tend to use <a href="http://jersey.java.net/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Jersey</a> which implements JAX-RS and comes with a nice REST client. The nice thing is if you implement your RESTful resources using JAX-RS then the Jersey client can reuse the entity providers such as for JAXB/XML/JSON/Atom and so forth - so you can reuse the same objects on the server side as you use on the client side unit test.</p> <p>For example <a href="http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/activemq/camel/trunk/components/camel-rest/src/test/java/org/apache/camel/rest/resources/EndpointsTest.java?revision=700513&view=markup" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here is a unit test case</a> from the <a href="http://activemq.apache.org/camel/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Apache Camel project</a> which looks up XML payloads from a RESTful resource (using the JAXB object Endpoints). The resource(uri) method is defined in <a href="http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/activemq/camel/trunk/components/camel-rest/src/test/java/org/apache/camel/rest/resources/TestSupport.java?revision=700513&view=markup" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this base class</a> which just uses the Jersey client API.</p> <p>e.g. </p> <pre><code> clientConfig = new DefaultClientConfig(); client = Client.create(clientConfig); resource = client.resource("http://localhost:8080"); // lets get the XML as a String String text = resource("foo").accept("application/xml").get(String.class); </code></pre> <p>BTW I hope that future version of JAX-RS add a nice client side API along the lines of the one in Jersey</p>
