However, the client should not be closed if it's going to be used again. In Jakarta REST 3.1, for Jakarta EE 10, the jakarta.ws.rs.client.Client extends AutoCloseable so it can be used in try-with-resources. There is definitely some overhead in creating a client, but it's likely not that significant. However, sharing a client should work fine as well. > > Maybe the same tests should be done with release 5.x.x. > > Regards, > Zsolt Melich > > James Perkins <jperkins(a)redhat.com&gt; ezt írta (időpont: 2023. aug. 7., H, > 16:59): > >> Hello, >> Just an FYI.
