What should we use for ClientResponse and GenericType in the latest version (3.0.x) of Restaasy?

Question

I am developing Resteasy. I transferred the maven application dependencies from 2.2.xto 3.0.x, and suddenly I saw that most of the API is out of date. Thus, this migration affects my code and test cases, as it just talks about obsolescence in all my code.

I take an example of my test cases: Test case with an earlier version (in the latest version it is defragmented, as mentioned in the link: ClientRequestFactory RestEasy is deprecated ... Any other alternative to RestEasy? ):

import org.jboss.resteasy.util.GenericType;
import org.jboss.resteasy.client.ClientRequest;
import org.jboss.resteasy.client.ClientResponse;

@Test
    public void testGetStudent() throws Exception{
        String str = "http://localhost:8080/RESTfulExample/rest/restwebservice/list";
        ClientRequest request = new ClientRequest(str);
        ClientResponse<List<Student>> response = request.get(new GenericType<List<Student>>(){});
        List<Student> students = response.getEntity();
        System.out.println("Size : "+students.size());
    }

So, I refactor my test case to use

@Test
    public void testGetStudents(){
        final String str = "http://localhost:8080/RESTfulExample/rest/restwebservice/list";
        Client client = ClientBuilder.newClient();
        // Client client = ClientBuilder.newBuilder().build();  // This also works, OR

        Response response = client.target(str).request().get();

        // This will gives us whole XML output
        String s = response.readEntity(String.class);
        System.out.println(s);

**What is the replacement of below two lines in latest version? How I can get List of Student Object ?**
//      ClientResponse<List<Student>> response = request.get(new GenericType<List<Student>>(){});
//      List<Student> students = response.getEntity();
    }

, . ? ?

Edit-1: , , : Students.java

@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.NONE)
@XmlRootElement(name = "students")
public class Students {

    @XmlElement(name="student")
    private ArrayList<Student> users;

    public ArrayList<Student> getUsers() {
        return users;
    }

    public void setUsers(ArrayList<Student> users) {
        this.users = users;
    }
}

:

@Test
    public void testGetStudents(){
        final String str = "http://localhost:8080/RESTfulExample/rest/restwebservice/list";
        Client client = ClientBuilder.newClient();
        // Client client = ClientBuilder.newBuilder().build();  // This also works, OR

        Response response = client.target(str).request().get();

        // This will gives us whole XML output
        String stringOutput = response.readEntity(String.class);
        System.out.println("STATUS : "+response.getStatus());
        System.out.println(stringOutput);


        Students students = response.readEntity(Students.class);
        System.out.println("Size : "+students.getUsers().size());
    }

Answer 1

-API Resteasy , JAX-RS Client-API. javax.ws.rs:

javax.ws.rs.client.Client client = javax.ws.rs.client.ClientBuilder.newClient();
javax.ws.rs.client.WebTarget target = client.target("someUrl");
List<Student> students = 
    target.request().get(new javax.ws.rs.core.GenericType<List<Student>>() {});

Answer 2

HTTP, JSON, :

Response response = null;
try {
  response = target.path("apiMethod")
                .queryParam("stringParam", "test")
                .queryParam("booleanParam", Boolean.FALSE)
                .request().accept(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON).get();

  if (response.getStatus() == Response.Status.BAD_REQUEST.getStatusCode()) { // HTTP 400
    throw new BadRequestException("invalid parameters!");
  } else if (response.getStatus() == 
    Response.Status.NOT_FOUND.getStatusCode()) {  // HTTP 404
        throw new NotFoundException("resource was not found on server!");
  }

    List<MyPojo> result = response.readEntity(new GenericType<List<MyPojo>>(){});
    return result;
} finally {
  if (response != null) {
    response.close();
  }
}
