How to set HTTP header in RESTEasy client framework?

Question

RESTEasy (a JAX-RS implementation) has a nice client framework, eg:

RegisterBuiltin.register(ResteasyProviderFactory.getInstance());

SimpleClient client = Proxy         


        

Answer 1

In your client proxy interface, use the @HeaderParam annotation:

public interface SimpleClient
{
   @PUT
   @Path("basic")
   @Consumes("text/plain")
   public void putBasic(@HeaderParam("Greeting") String greeting);
}

The call in your example above would add an HTTP header that looks like this:

Greeting: hello world
