A lightweight implementation of the ActiveResource pattern for Java that lets you manipulate RESTful resources as Java objects.

Note: Currently uses Apache the HttpClient Jar. You can get the JarsHere:

Usage:for a more detailed look see the HighriseWalkthrough...

Quick usage example...request:

http://www.example.com/projects/2782118.xml

response:

2782118Zipwire Rest

create an interface(s) to manipulate the resource

interface Project {
String getId();
String getName();
}create a RestConnection object * The XmlNamingRule handles method(CamelCase) to xml (separate-word) translation.

RestConnection connection = new ApacheRestConnection(
host, username, password,
new XmlNamingRule(){
public String transform(String method) {
return new CamelCase(method).separateWith("-").toLowerCase();
}}
){};get the resource via the interface

Project project = connection.get("projects/2782118.xml").as(Project.class);

System.out.println(project.getId()); // > "2782218"
System.out.println(project.getProjectName()); // > "Zipwire Rest"
