" it doesn�t define one for simple protocols like . "

is an incomplete sentence.

Note from the Author or Editor:
Last paragraph of PDF p. 225 there is an incomplete sentence.

..... it doesn't doesn’t define one for simple protocols like.

Expand this sentence to

it doesn’t define one for simple protocols like Basic or Digest authentication.

The sample code takes "AsyncResponse response" as an argument, then inside the Thread.run() method it creates "Response response" (same name). Therefore response.resume(response); will generate a compiler error. It doesn't find a method "resume" for Response.


public void submit(final Order order,
final @Suspended AsyncResponse response) {
new Thread() {
public void run() {
...
Response response = Response.ok(confirmation,
MediaType.APPLICATION_XML_TYPE)
.build();
response.resume(response);
}
}.start();
}


We should rename the Response object inside Thread.run to something else to avoid hiding the AsyncResponse object.

Something like:

Response r = Response.ok(confirmation,
MediaType.APPLICATION_XML_TYPE)
.build();

response.resume( r );

Note from the Author or Editor:
p. 194 of PDF Change code block to:

Response res= Response.ok(confirmation,
MediaType.APPLICATION_XML_TYPE)
.build();
res.resume(response);

The following code generates a compiler error

response.setTimeoutHandler(
new TimeoutHandler {
void handleTimeout(AsyncResponse response) {
response.resume(Response.serverError().build());
}
}
);

There is a missing "()" for the TimeoutHandler constructor. Also, the handleTimeout method must be declared "public".

The code without the missing parts would be:

response.setTimeoutHandler(
new TimeoutHandler() {
public void handleTimeout(AsyncResponse response) {
response.resume(Response.serverError().build());
}
}
);

Note from the Author or Editor:
p. 196 of PDF, the last code block should be

response.setTimeoutHandler(
new TimeoutHandler() {
public void handleTimeout(AsyncResponse response) {
response.resume(Response.serverError().build());
}
}
);

Chapter 17, "Example Requirements and Structure" states JDK 6.0 or later is required. When I used the examples in Rest Easy3.0.7 and tried to build ex03_1, I found that JDK 7 is actually required in order for the build to complete successfully.

Note from the Author or Editor:
p. 251 of print. Change

"JDK 6.0 or later" to "JDK 7.0 or later"

The following code will give a compiler error because of the "accept()" method. The method "request()" is missing. It should precede "accept()".

Customer customer = client.target("http://commerce.com/customers/123")
.accept("application/json")
.get(Customer.class);

List<Customer> customer = client.target("http://commerce.com/customers")
.accept("application/xml")
.get(new GenericType<List<Customer>>() {});

Note from the Author or Editor:
P. 117 of PDF last code block add .request() before .accept()

.request().accept("application/json")

P. 118 of PDF, first code block, add .request() before .accept()

.request().accept("application/xml")

replace req.getHeaders
by res.getHeaders

Note from the Author or Editor:
In code block on page 172, replace

req.getHeaders

with

res.getHeaders

It says "For example, the RESTEasy framework provides a ContainerRequestFilter" but it is a ClientRequestFilter.

Note from the Author or Editor:
p. 225 of PDF. Change last sentence of last paragraph

From:

the RESTEasy framework provides a ContainerRequestFilter

to:

The RESTEasy framework ClientRequestFilter

The code example at the bottom of the page shows calling the newClient method on client. That method does not exist. Instead it should be ClientBuilder.newClient(). See http://docs.oracle.com/javaee/7/api/javax/ws/rs/client/ClientBuilder.html#newClient().

Note from the Author or Editor:
P. 225 of PDF code fragment near end of page

change:

Client client = Client.newClient();

to

Client client = ClientBuilder.newClient();
