Does anyone have an example of how to set up a request with MultipartInput using the ClientRequest class ?

I tried something like this - without success :

Client:

        String url = http://localhost:8080/resteasy/test
        ClientRequest request = new ClientRequest(url);
        Customer customer = new Customer("kmoodley");
        StringBuilder resource = new StringBuilder(JAXBMarshall.marshall(customer));
        User user = new User("kmoodley");
        resource.append("SECURE_USER");
        resource.append(JAXBMarshall.marshall(user));
        Map<String, String> parameters = new HashMap<String, String>();
        parameters.put("boundary", "SECURE_USER");
        MediaType contentType = new MediaType("multipart",null,parameters);
        MultipartInputImpl input = new MultipartInputImpl(contentType, ResteasyProviderFactory.getInstance());
        ByteArrayInputStream bais = new ByteArrayInputStream(resource.toString().getBytes());
        input.parse(bais);
        request.body(contentType, input );
        response = request.post();

The JAXBMarshall class is a utility class that marshalls classes annotated with @XmlRootElement into XML

Server:

    @POST
    @Path("/resteasy/test")
    @Produces("application/xml")
    @Consumes("multipart/mixed")
    public String testMultipart(MultipartInput input) {
        Customer customer = null;
        User user = null;
        for (InputPart part : input.getParts()){
            try {
                customer = part.getBody(Customer.class, null);
                user = part.getBody(User.class, null);
            } catch (IOException e) {
                logger.error("Failed to get objects from multipart input");
                return null;
            }
        }
        ....
       
        return "SUCCESS";
    }

Thanks
