SyncInvokerpublic static interface Invocation.Builder extends SyncInvoker
request(...)
 methods on a resource target, provides methods for
 preparing a client request invocation. Once the request is prepared
 the invocation builder can be either used to build an Invocation
 with a generic execution interface:
 
   Client client = ClientBuilder.newClient();
   WebTarget resourceTarget = client.target("http://examples.jaxrs.com/");
   // Build a HTTP GET request that accepts "text/plain" response type
   // and contains a custom HTTP header entry "Foo: bar".
   Invocation invocation = resourceTarget.request("text/plain")
           .header("Foo", "bar").buildGet();
   // Invoke the request using generic interface
   String response = invocation.invoke(String.class);
 
 Alternatively, one of the inherited synchronous invocation
 methods can be used to invoke the prepared request and return the server
 response in a single step, e.g.:
 
   Client client = ClientBuilder.newClient();
   WebTarget resourceTarget = client.target("http://examples.jaxrs.com/");
   // Build and invoke the get request in a single step
   String response = resourceTarget.request("text/plain")
           .header("Foo", "bar").get(String.class);
 
 Once the request is fully prepared for invoking, switching to an
 asynchronous invocation mode is possible by
 calling the async() method on the builder, e.g.:
 
   Client client = ClientBuilder.newClient();
   WebTarget resourceTarget = client.target("http://examples.jaxrs.com/");
   // Build and invoke the get request asynchronously in a single step
   Future response = resourceTarget.request("text/plain")
           .header("Foo", "bar").async().get(String.class);

method - request method name.Invocation build(String method, Entity<?> entity)
method - request method name.entity - request entity, including it's full Variant information.
               Any variant-related HTTP headers previously set (namely Content-Type,
               Content-Language and Content-Encoding) will be overwritten using
               the entity variant information.Invocation buildGet()
Invocation buildDelete()
Invocation buildPost(Entity<?> entity)
entity - request entity, including it's full Variant information.
               Any variant-related HTTP headers previously set (namely Content-Type,
               Content-Language and Content-Encoding) will be overwritten using
               the entity variant information.Invocation buildPut(Entity<?> entity)
entity - request entity, including it's full Variant information.
               Any variant-related HTTP headers previously set (namely Content-Type,
               Content-Language and Content-Encoding) will be overwritten using
               the entity variant information.AsyncInvoker async()
Invocation.Builder accept(String... mediaTypes)
mediaTypes - accepted response media types.Invocation.Builder accept(MediaType... mediaTypes)
mediaTypes - accepted response media types.Invocation.Builder acceptLanguage(Locale... locales)
locales - an array of the acceptable languages.Invocation.Builder acceptLanguage(String... locales)
locales - an array of the acceptable languages.Invocation.Builder acceptEncoding(String... encodings)
encodings - an array of the acceptable encodings.Invocation.Builder cookie(Cookie cookie)
cookie - to be set.Invocation.Builder cookie(String name, String value)
name - the name of the cookie.value - the value of the cookie.Invocation.Builder cacheControl(CacheControl cacheControl)
cacheControl - the cache control directives, if null
                     any existing cache control directives will be removed.Invocation.Builder header(String name, Object value)
name - the name of the headervalue - the value of the header, the header will be serialized
              using a RuntimeDelegate.HeaderDelegate if
              one is available via RuntimeDelegate.createHeaderDelegate(java.lang.Class)
              for the class of value or using its toString method
              if a header delegate is not available. If value is null
              then all current headers of the same name will be removed.Invocation.Builder headers(MultivaluedMap<String,Object> headers)
headers - new headers to be set, if null all existing
                headers will be removed.Invocation.Builder property(String name, Object value)
 The property is available for a later retrieval via ClientRequestContext.getProperty(String)
 or InterceptorContext.getProperty(String).
 If a property with a given name is already set in the request context,
 the existing value of the property will be updated.
 Setting a null value into a property effectively removes the property
 from the request property bag.
 
name - property name.value - (new) property value. null value removes the property
              with the given name.Invocation.property(String, Object)CompletionStageRxInvoker rx()

RxInvoker subclass provider. Note
 that corresponding RxInvokerProvider must be registered in the client runtime.
 This method is an extension point for implementations to support other types representing asynchronous computations.
