Jersey client doesn't follow redirects

Question

I have \"users\" resource defined as follows:

@Path(\"/api/users\")
public class UserResource {

    @POST
    @Consumes(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
    publ         


        

Answer 1

Follow redirects means following 30x status code redirects. What you have there is a 201 response, that is not a redirect. You can write a ClientFilter that will follow the location header if 201 is returned.

Answer 2

I was facing the same issue and resolved it by following client filter

package YourPackageName;


import javax.ws.rs.client.ClientRequestContext;
import javax.ws.rs.client.ClientResponseContext;
import javax.ws.rs.client.ClientResponseFilter;
import javax.ws.rs.core.Response;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStream;

public class RedirectFilterWorkAround implements ClientResponseFilter {
    @Override
    public void filter(ClientRequestContext requestContext, ClientResponseContext responseContext) throws IOException {
        if (responseContext.getStatusInfo().getFamily() != Response.Status.Family.REDIRECTION)
            return;

        Response resp = requestContext.getClient().target(responseContext.getLocation()).request().method(requestContext.getMethod());

        responseContext.setEntityStream((InputStream) resp.getEntity());
        responseContext.setStatusInfo(resp.getStatusInfo());
        responseContext.setStatus(resp.getStatus());
    }
}

Now while in other class where you are creating Client as

Client client = ClientBuilder.newClient();

Apply this filter class as

client.register(RedirectFilterWorkAround.class);

This is working with Jersey 2.x Found these pointers on SO :p
