[alfons_gonzalez]

Hi,

We aim to start developing complex processes based on SAP BusinessObjects WebI SDK Restful API uisong Java and we would like to know from previous experiences which is the most suitable Java API to be used with the SAP BO Restful API

This is our currrent list of options available:

(1) Use simpliy java built-in HTTP library (java.net.URL)

(2) Use Apache HTTP Client (Apache CFX)

(3) Some JAX-RS based implementation. E.g: Jersey

Thanks and happy new year!

Hi Alfons,

Definitely going with a advanced and well known API libraries would help you in long run for features and save you time. The decision going between Apache or Jersey really depends on actual requirements that you need and things like will you need cache?, is it just http client?.

Also check out https://developers.google.com/api-client-library/java/google-http-java-client/. This has plug-able HTTP clients libraries and provide good level of functionality on top of what you need.
