---------------------------------------
Hi Dan
I talked with Willem, WebClient has a catch-all public invoke() method which
accepts a String HTTP method name, etc, which CXF RS uses (as opposed to
choosing between various specific variations of invoke like post, get, etc).
The idea is there also support arbitrary HTTP verbs (WebDav, PATCH, etc - when
HTTP transport allows for it). Willem thought that doInvoke() will simplify
accessing the response status for cases when something like this is done:
CustomResponse cr = webClient.invoke("PUT", body, CustomResponse.class);
However, making doInvoke is indeed not needed here given that
webClient.getResponse() will always return generic JAXRS Response (and then
response.getStatus() will do) even if custom class instance was returned
earlier on.
So as such this issue is nearly won't fix/invalid, but one thing I mentioned to
Willem was that doInvoke() is a 'better' catch-all invoke() because it allows
accepts a generic type parameter which is helpful when explicit collections are
involved, thus I thought renaming it to public 'invoke' can help in some cases,
ex, WebClient does not support posting or putting explicit collections only.
But I need to think about the best way to accomplish that...
