Question

Why do I need the json jersey dependencies on client side for

service.path("rest").path("object").path(id).accept(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON).get(ObjectDTO.class);

but not for

service.path("rest").path("object").path(id).accept(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON).put(ClientResponse.class, object);

Server side looks like this:

@GET
@Path("/{objectId}")
@Produces({MediaType.APPLICATION_XML, MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON})
...

@PUT
@Path("/{objectId}")
@Consumes({MediaType.APPLICATION_XML, MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON})

...

In first case I get a json stream, in second case I send a stream. So why do I need the libraries just for getting the stream?

Answer 1

Ok. It is caused by the accept header: for my put request it isnt necessary to set that.
