Hi Francesco, Thanks for your response. No special reason not to use the Syncope client API as such, the code just comes from when I used the CXF WebClient Object originally to play around with Syncope's REST API. Here is the code snippet if you can spot anything obviously wrong:
String address = "http://localhost:9080/syncope/rest/";; WebClient client = WebClient.create(address, Collections.singletonList(new JacksonJsonProvider()));); String authorizationHeader = "Basic " + Base64Utility.encode(("admin" + ":" + "password").getBytes()); client.header("Authorization", authorizationHeader); // client.accept("application/xml"); // WORKS client.accept("application/json"); // DOESN'T WORK WebClient.getConfig(client).getInInterceptors().add(new LoggingInInterceptor()); List<RoleTO> roles = new ArrayList<RoleTO>(); client = client.path("roles"); @SuppressWarnings("unchecked") PagedResult<RoleTO> existingRoles = (PagedResult<RoleTO>)client.get(PagedResult.class); Colm.
