Need to create javax.ws.rs.client.Client for each webservcie call

Question

Create a javax.ws.rs-ap.jar client and send the request to the server:

   javax.ws.rs.client.Client client = ClientBuilder.newBuilder().build();

I have writtten the above code to call multiple api(get user by id, get all users and deleteUser).

My question is here.

I am creating a new Client for each api cal.

Just wanted to know i can create a single instance of Client and make multiple calls ?

Answer 1

Yes, a Client can be reused as long as it's lifecycle is managed properly. This means when a client instance is created, it should be closed properly as well using the close() method, once it's purpose is served. Refer to the Client API documentation .

Note that multiple client instances would be needed if each client has a different client configuration.
