My application frequently needs to do HTTP GET and POST to external
webservices. What I have been doing to date is:
HttpURLConnection foo = (HttpURLConnection)
url.openConnection();
foo.setDoOutput(true); foo.setRequestMethod("POST");
foo.getOutputStream.write(.....) InputStream response =
foo.getInputStream();
but it appears that I'm really supposed to be obtaining the connection from
the container rather than rolling my own.
Does TomEE provide a built-in HttpURLConnection factory?
Is there an example of how to use it anywhere?
I have seen this: HTTPConnectionFactory
<https://github.com/apache/tomee/blob/master/server/openejb-client/src/main/java/org/apache/openejb/client/HttpConnectionFactory.java>
but it does not seem to return an object on which I can set the request
method, etc.
How badly out of spec is the way I'm doing it now? Will this break if I
know I'm never going to be in a multiple JVM or clustered environment? (bad
assumption, I know.)
