Holiday REST Client

This page details the steps necessary to create a REST client, using eclipse, that is able to communicate with the holiday web service. For the client I used Jersey, and downloaded the client and core jars here.

1. Create a new project using eclipse

2. Add the Jersey jars to the buildpath.

3. Go to run configurations and add the Jersey jars to the classpath

NOTE: When creating a client for the test server it is required that you add the test site's certificate to the keystore as described here,
and then run the project with arguments (In Eclipse these should be added to the VM arguments of your project's run
configuration):

-Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=/path/to/keystore
-Djavax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword=changeit (default password is changeit)

4. Create the main method

public static void main(String[] args) {
try

Unknown macro: { Client client = Client.create(); WebResource webResource = client.resource("https}

catch (Exception e)

Unknown macro: { e.printStackTrace(); }

}
