Thanks for the help; however, I do have a few follow-up questions:
1. Can "ResponseReader" be used with "WebClient" objects or is its use limited
to client proxies only? i.e.
ResponseReader reader = new ResponseReader();
reader.setEntityClass(Book.class);
JAXRSClientFactory.create("http://localhost:8080/books";, BookStore.class,
Collections.singletonList(reader));2. Where can I find examples of custom
message body reader/writer implementation examples? I've searched everywhere
and
found nothing that helps in understanding how to implement a custom one.
3. I checked the example Glenn suggested, however that example does NOT use
"ResponseReader". The method "useSimpleProxy" in "RESTClient.java", creates a
client proxy from which it retrieves a collection of person objects; it never
deals with a "Response" object. Did I miss something in the example?
Thanks.
