Consume REST service using Spring Framework

Question

I am developing a web application, using Spring Framework. And I need to consume a service from another application.

I know how to send requisitions POST, through using jquery and ajax, but I want to know if it is possible to do the same, using the server-side, for example in controller of my web application.

It is possible to send http POST requests using spring controller?

Answer 1

It is possible, yes.

Take a look at the class Resttemplate spring.

Here’s a step-by-step guide to making a GET using this class:
