use Apache HttpClient to consume web services
In this video, I use Apache's HttpClient to consume a web service. I demonstrate how to GET a response from a running web service. I parse the JSON response using FasterXML's Jackson library. I also demonstrate how to send a parameter to the web service. Finally, I demonstrate how to POST a JSON document for the service's RequestBody.
This video extends my series on creating a simple web service.
