Interface Connector

All Superinterfaces:
Inflector<ClientRequest,ClientResponse>
All Known Implementing Classes:
HttpUrlConnector, JavaNetHttpConnector, JdkConnector
public interface Connector extends Inflector<ClientRequest,ClientResponse>
Client transport connector extension contract.

Note that unlike most of the other Jersey SPI extension contracts, Jersey Connector is not a typical runtime extension and as such cannot be directly registered using a configuration register(...) method. Jersey client runtime retrieves a Connector instance upon Jersey client runtime initialization using a ConnectorProvider registered in ClientConfig.
