Method Detail

create

public static AhcWSClient create(play.api.libs.ws.ahc.AhcWSClientConfig config,
                                 play.api.libs.ws.ahc.cache.AhcHttpCache cache,
                                 akka.stream.Materializer materializer)

Creates WS client manually from configuration, internally creating a new instance of AsyncHttpClient and managing its own thread pool.

This client is not managed as part of Play's lifecycle, and must be closed by calling ws.close(), otherwise you will run into memory leaks.

Parameters:

config - a config object, usually from AhcWSClientConfigFactory

cache - if not null, provides HTTP caching.

materializer - an Akka materializer

Returns:

a new instance of AhcWSClient.

getUnderlying

public java.lang.Object getUnderlying()

Description copied from interface: WSClient

The underlying implementation of the client, if any. You must cast the returned value to the type you want.

Specified by:

getUnderlying in interface WSClient

Returns:

the backing object.

asScala

public play.api.libs.ws.WSClient asScala()

Specified by:

asScala in interface WSClient

Returns:

the Scala version for this WSClient.

url

public WSRequest url(java.lang.String url)

Description copied from interface: WSClient

Returns a WSRequest object representing the URL. You can append additional properties on the WSRequest by chaining calls, and execute the request to return an asynchronous Promise<WSResponse>.

Specified by:

url in interface WSClient

Parameters:

url - the URL to request

Returns:

the request

close

public void close()
           throws java.io.IOException
