About Mark Needham
Jim and I have been doing a bit of work over the last week which involved calling neo4j’s HA status URI to check whether or not an instance was a master/slave and we’ve been using jersey-client.
The code looked roughly like this:
class Neo4jInstance { private Client httpClient; private URI hostname; public Neo4jInstance(Client httpClient, URI hostname) { this.httpClient = httpClient; this.hostname = hostname; } public Boolean isSlave() { String slaveURI = hostname.toString() + ":7474/db/manage/server/ha/slave"; ClientResponse response = httpClient.resource(slaveURI).accept(TEXT_PLAIN).get(ClientResponse.class); return Boolean.parseBoolean(response.getEntity(String.class)); }} Source : http://www.javacodegeeks.com/2013/08/jersey-client-testing-external-calls.html
