Eclipse RCP and REST – JAX-RS Extensions

This is a continuation of a series of blog posts demonstrating the use of the ECF Remote Services JAX-RS Jersey Client within an Eclipse RCP application. The previous posts are: Eclipse RCP and REST: An Introduction Eclipse RCP and REST: Making Asynchronous Calls In this post I’ll demonstrate how to use standard JAX-RS extensions in… Continue reading Eclipse RCP and REST – JAX-RS Extensions

Eclipse RCP and REST – Making Asynchronous Calls

In my last blog post I described how to access REST services from an Eclipse RCP application using the ECF Remote Services JAX-RS Jersey Client Provider. It turns out that with a few minor changes we can also access these REST services asynchronously. I’ll demonstrate here how to modify the SpaceX Launch Service example to… Continue reading Eclipse RCP and REST – Making Asynchronous Calls
