By the way, doing something like
Response response = webclient.get(Response.class)
(assuming get is used)
may be a better option for testing as one can get to the entity stream, the response status code and the headers easily from
Response

Though using String.class will only work if the content type of the response is set to text/plain. It is possible to configure
JAXB/JSON providers to recognize text/plain but perhaps it would be simpler to use say InputStream.class and then CXF IOUtils to
easily copy it into String, for JSON at least.

Hi
indeed, XMLSource could be a good option for handling the raw XML. String.class
should help in retrieving raw XML/JSON...
Document.class and JSONObject are not supported out of the box. I will update the (JAXP) Source provider to support Documents as
well with a bit of indirection, or may add a new provider...Not sure about JSONObject, but given that Jettison uses it internally,
may be it would be possible to return it too...
thanks, Sergey

Just ask for the kind of object you want, and CXF will abide:
webClient.get(String.class);
webClient.get(InputStream.class);
webClient.get(Document.class);
webClient.get(XMLSource.class); // probably what you want for picking
through XML output in unit tests
webClient.get(JSONObject.class); // this one actually might not be
registered by default...

I'm moving forward with my unit tests with the embedded

that I expected. I'm using Mockito to mock the physical resources that
my content controller uses.
Although it's nice that the server unmarshalled the XML back into my
Java object, I'd actually like to have some testing where I examine the
raw XML or JSON that I get back. I don't see an obvious way to do that
with the WebClient class. Perhaps I shouldn't even be trying, and just
use HttpClient for this kind of test?
