JAX-RS Client proxy response is null after conversion to WebClient

[Veit Guna]

Hi.

Is it expected behavior, that after a JAX-RS client proxy request has been made, accessing the response via converted WebClient returns null?

My code:

Client client = WebClient.client(clientProxy);
System.out.println("client response: " + client.getResponse());
WebClient webClient = WebClient.fromClient(client);
System.out.println("webclient response. " + webClient.getResponse());

Outputs:

client response: ***@20e14502
webclient response. null

I also encountered, that after an entity has been returned by the client proxy invocation, accessing the response stream via Client returns an empty stream.
Using:

InputStream inputStream = response.readEntity(InputStream.class);

I figured out, that enabling client response buffering does the trick in this case:

WebClient.getConfig(store).getResponseContext().put("buffer.proxy.response", "true");

But I'm wondering, if that is the right usage of the "user" client API. Since the constant belonging to that property key is private
in ClientProxyImpl (BUFFER_PROXY_RESPONSE).

I'm using CXF 3.0.4-SNAPSHOT.

Thanks.

webclient response. null

IMHO it is reasonable. During the conversion only those properties are
copied that are needed for the subsequent invocations.

JAX-RS Response has a standard method for buffering but in case of the
CXF proxy API, yes, this property needs to be set if the buffering is
required. I'll update the wiki docs...
