HTTP PUT and POST requests with Jersey

May not be exactly right but you'll get the idea.

import com.sun.jersey.api.client.Client;
import com.sun.jersey.api.client.WebResource;
import com.sun.jersey.api.client.WebResource.Builder;
import com.sun.jersey.api.client.filter.HTTPBasicAuthFilter;
import com.sun.jersey.multipart.FormDataBodyPart;
import com.sun.jersey.multipart.FormDataMultiPart;
import com.sun.jersey.multipart.file.FileDataBodyPart;
import javax.ws.rs.core.MediaType;

PUT

String name = "someName";

// HTTP Client
final Client client = Client.create();
// Auth
client.addFilter( new HTTPBasicAuthFilter( this.conf.getUser(), this.conf.getPass()) );
Builder builder = client.resource( this.adminBaseUrl + URL_PATH_DEPLOY )
        // Some URL query param
        .queryParam("path", "/"+name)
        // What we're asking for.
        .accept(MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN_TYPE)
        // What we're sending in PUT body.
        .type(MediaType.APPLICATION_OCTET_STREAM_TYPE);

// Do the request itself.
final String textResponse = builder.put(String.class, form);

HTML form-like multipart POST file upload

final File archiveFile = new File(new File(System.getProperty("java.io.tmpdir")), archiveName);

// Build up the POST form to send to Tomcat
final FormDataMultiPart form = new FormDataMultiPart();
form.getBodyParts().add(new FormDataBodyPart("update", "true"));
form.getBodyParts().add(new FileDataBodyPart("file", archiveFile));

String name = archiveName.substring(0, archiveName.lastIndexOf("."));
this.deploymentName = name;
// Some form field
form.field("context", name, MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN_TYPE);

// HTTP Client
final Client client = Client.create();
// Auth
client.addFilter( new HTTPBasicAuthFilter( this.conf.getUser(), this.conf.getPass()) );

Builder builder = client.resource( this.adminBaseUrl + URL_PATH_DEPLOY )
        // What we're asking for.
        .accept(MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN_TYPE)
        // What we're sending in PUT body.
        .type(MediaType.MULTIPART_FORM_DATA_TYPE)
        // Do the request itself.
        .post(String.class, form);

… and yet how to export Arquillian's ar­chive to a file

// Export to a file so we can send it over the wire
final File archiveFile = new File(new File(System.getProperty("java.io.tmpdir")), archiveName);
archive.as(ZipExporter.class).exportZip(archiveFile, true);
