javarestweb serviceswsdl
I know that WSDL is for defining SOAP based web services but in most of the WSDLs I saw on net, in the WSDL is defined also RESTful "web service"-http:binding.
To generate client for the SOAP I used wsimport tool from JAX-WS (it also generates client classes for the REST but it doesnt work).
So the question is, how to generate REST client based on the WSDL?
Map<String, String> map = ...
for (Map.Entry<String, String> entry : map.entrySet()) {
System.out.println(entry.getKey() + "/" + entry.getValue());
}
On Java 10+:
for (var entry : map.entrySet()) {
System.out.println(entry.getKey() + "/" + entry.getValue());
}
Summarize other answers I found 11 main ways to do this (see below). And I wrote some performance tests (see results below):
Ways to convert an InputStream to a String:
Using IOUtils.toString (Apache Utils)
String result = IOUtils.toString(inputStream, StandardCharsets.UTF_8);
Using CharStreams (Guava)
String result = CharStreams.toString(new InputStreamReader(
inputStream, Charsets.UTF_8));
Using Scanner (JDK)
Scanner s = new Scanner(inputStream).useDelimiter("\\A");
String result = s.hasNext() ? s.next() : "";
Using Stream API (Java 8). Warning: This solution converts different line breaks (like \r\n) to \n.
String result = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(inputStream))
.lines().collect(Collectors.joining("\n"));
Using parallel Stream API (Java 8). Warning: This solution converts different line breaks (like \r\n) to \n.
String result = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(inputStream))
.lines().parallel().collect(Collectors.joining("\n"));
Using InputStreamReader and StringBuilder (JDK)
int bufferSize = 1024;
char[] buffer = new char[bufferSize];
StringBuilder out = new StringBuilder();
Reader in = new InputStreamReader(stream, StandardCharsets.UTF_8);
for (int numRead; (numRead = in.read(buffer, 0, buffer.length)) > 0; ) {
out.append(buffer, 0, numRead);
}
return out.toString();
Using StringWriter and IOUtils.copy (Apache Commons)
StringWriter writer = new StringWriter();
IOUtils.copy(inputStream, writer, "UTF-8");
return writer.toString();
Using ByteArrayOutputStream and inputStream.read (JDK)
ByteArrayOutputStream result = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
for (int length; (length = inputStream.read(buffer)) != -1; ) {
result.write(buffer, 0, length);
}
// StandardCharsets.UTF_8.name() > JDK 7
return result.toString("UTF-8");
Using BufferedReader (JDK). Warning: This solution converts different line breaks (like \n\r) to line.separator system property (for example, in Windows to "\r\n").
String newLine = System.getProperty("line.separator");
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(
new InputStreamReader(inputStream));
StringBuilder result = new StringBuilder();
for (String line; (line = reader.readLine()) != null; ) {
if (result.length() > 0) {
result.append(newLine);
}
result.append(line);
}
return result.toString();
Using BufferedInputStream and ByteArrayOutputStream (JDK)
BufferedInputStream bis = new BufferedInputStream(inputStream);
ByteArrayOutputStream buf = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
for (int result = bis.read(); result != -1; result = bis.read()) {
buf.write((byte) result);
}
// StandardCharsets.UTF_8.name() > JDK 7
return buf.toString("UTF-8");
Using inputStream.read() and StringBuilder (JDK). Warning: This solution has problems with Unicode, for example with Russian text (works correctly only with non-Unicode text)
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
for (int ch; (ch = inputStream.read()) != -1; ) {
sb.append((char) ch);
}
return sb.toString();
Warning:
Solutions 4, 5 and 9 convert different line breaks to one.
Solution 11 can't work correctly with Unicode text

I've never heard of anyone using WSDL for generating REST clients. WADL yes, but not WSDL.
Anyway, generating clients for REST services does not make sense. If you think you want to do that then you are missing the benefits of REST and trying to follow the REST constraints is going to make you do extra work for nothing.
