Jersey/JAX-RS client throwing exception on HTTP GET - rest

Question

Please note: even though I'm using Groovy here, I think my exception is really about using the Jersey/JAX-RS API correctly.
Given the following code:
ClientConfig clientConfig = new DefaultClientConfig()
clientConfig.getFeatures().put(JSONConfiguration.FEATURE_POJO_MAPPING, Boolean.TRUE)
Client jerseyClient = Client.create(clientConfig)
WebResource webResource = jerseyClient.resource("http://localhost:8080/location/")
Long id = 5L
Address address = webResource.path("address").path(id)
.accept(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
.get(Long)
I am getting the following exception:
groovy.lang.MissingMethodException: No signature of method: com.sun.jersey.api.client.WebResource.path() is applicable for argument types: (java.lang.Long) values: [5]
Possible solutions: path(java.lang.String), put(), wait(long), put(com.sun.jersey.api.client.GenericType), put(java.lang.Class), put(java.lang.Object)

I am trying to hit the following REST endpoint:
GET http://localhost:8080/location/address/{id}
Where am I going wrong?

Answer 1

You're calling the path method with a long, but it can only take a String. Your id is a long, but since the error message says the value is 1, I assume that LocationResourcePaths.ADDRESS_PATH is also a long with value 1, is that the case?
