Enclosing interface:: Invocation

public static interface Invocation.Builder
extends SyncInvoker

A client request invocation builder. The builder, obtained via a call to one of the request(...) methods on a resource target, provides methods for preparing a client request invocation. Once the request is prepared the invocation builder can be either used to build an Invocation with a generic execution interface:

   Client client = ClientBuilder.newClient();
   WebTarget resourceTarget = client.target("http://examples.jaxrs.com/");

   // Build a HTTP GET request that accepts "text/plain" response type
   // and contains a custom HTTP header entry "Foo: bar".
   Invocation invocation = resourceTarget.request("text/plain")
           .header("Foo", "bar").buildGet();

   // Invoke the request using generic interface
   String response = invocation.invoke(String.class);

Alternatively, one of the inherited

synchronous invocation
 methods

can be used to invoke the prepared request and return the server response in a single step, e.g.:

   Client client = ClientBuilder.newClient();
   WebTarget resourceTarget = client.target("http://examples.jaxrs.com/");

   // Build and invoke the get request in a single step
   String response = resourceTarget.request("text/plain")
           .header("Foo", "bar").get(String.class);

Once the request is fully prepared for invoking, switching to an asynchronous invocation mode is possible by calling the async() method on the builder, e.g.:

   Client client = ClientBuilder.newClient();
   WebTarget resourceTarget = client.target("http://examples.jaxrs.com/");

   // Build and invoke the get request asynchronously in a single step
   Future response = resourceTarget.request("text/plain")
           .header("Foo", "bar").async().get(String.class);

    invocation encapsulating the built POST request.
  - buildPut
```
Invocation buildPut(Entity<?> entity)
```
    Build a PUT request invocation.
    
    Parameters:
    entity - request entity, including it's full Variant information. Any variant-related HTTP headers previously set (namely Content-Type, Content-Language and Content-Encoding) will be overwritten using the entity variant information.

Setting a null value into a property effectively removes the property from the request property bag.
