Apache CXF creating rest client authentication and customize header

There are two ways you can authenticate rest client.

Setting header authorization:

WebClient client = WebClient.create(url);

String authorizationHeader = "Basic " + org.apache.cxf.common.util.Base64Utility

                                    .encode((username + ":" +  password)).getBytes());

                    client.header("Authorization", authorizationHeader);

Pass user and password when you create your rest client.


WebClient client = WebClient.create(url, username, password, null);



If you want to pass client_id or any other parameter just use

client.header("CLIENT_ID",{your_id})

Settings media type:

client.type(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_TYPE)

client.accept(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_TYPE)

Then follow the url to get the response from server.
