Implementing a client by using the unmanaged RESTful web services JAX-RS 1.1 client
WebSphere® Application Server provides a thin Java™ Platform, Standard Edition 6 (Java SE 6) RESTful web services client run time to enable application developers to quickly and easily create JAX-RS client applications. The Thin Client for JAX-RS with WebSphere Application Server is a stand-alone Java SE 6 client environment that enables running unmanaged JAX-RS RESTful web services client applications in a non-WebSphere environment to invoke JAX-RS RESTful web services that are hosted by the application server.
Before you begin

Before you set up a JAX-RS unmanaged client execution environment, obtain the Thin Client for JAX-RS Java archive (JAR) file. To obtain the Thin Client for JAX-RS, install WebSphere Application Server Version 9.0 or the Application Client for WebSphere Application Server Version 9.0. The Thin Client for JAX-RS JAR file, com.ibm.jaxrs.thinclient_9.0.jar, is located in the app_server_root\runtimes directory.
Copy the Thin Client for JAX-RS com.ibm.jaxrs.thinclient_9.0.jar file to other machines to create a lightweight client environment that enables communications with the product. Copies of the Thin Client for JAX-RS are subject to the same terms and conditions of the license agreement for the WebSphere product where you obtained the Thin Client for JAX-RS. Refer to the license agreements for correct usage and other limitations.
The Thin Client for JAX-RS works with IBM® Software Development Kits (SDKs) Version 6.0 and higher. The Thin Client for JAX-RS is also supported on non-IBM software development kits that are V6.0 and higher.
