How to use PATCH method with Jersey client (2.25.1)?

Question

I need to call a rest end point with the PATCH method but I can not find PATCH method in jersey client. Can anyone please help me how can I call the PATCH method? I am using java 8.

Answer 1

@PATCH is available from JAX-RS v2.1. Jersey in version 2.26 have that implemented.

In a version prior JAX-RS v2.1, common way of doing that is:

@HttpMethod("PATCH")
public void pathcMetod(...){}
