Handle Cookies

Below is the example of easiest way to handle cookies automatically using HttpClient's default cookie policy. It uses ApacheHttpClient. You need to register class using rest.client.impl property. For example:

rest.client.impl=qaf.example.listener.ClientWithSessionManagenent

ClientWithSessionManagenent.java

package qaf.example.listener;

import org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpClient;

import com.qmetry.qaf.automation.ws.rest.RestClientFactory;
import com.sun.jersey.api.client.Client;
import com.sun.jersey.api.client.ClientHandler;
import com.sun.jersey.client.apache.ApacheHttpClient;
import com.sun.jersey.client.apache.ApacheHttpClientHandler;
import com.sun.jersey.client.apache.config.ApacheHttpClientConfig;
import com.sun.jersey.client.apache.config.DefaultApacheHttpClientConfig;

/**
 * To handle coockies, register this class using <code>rest.client.impl</code> property as below:
 * <p>
 * <code>rest.client.impl=qaf.example.listener.ClientWithSessionManagenent</code>
 * @author chirag.jayswal
 *
 */
public class ClientWithSessionManagenent extends RestClientFactory {

	/*
	 * (non-Javadoc)
	 * 
	 * @see com.qmetry.qaf.automation.ws.rest.RestClientFactory#createClient()
	 */
	@Override
	protected Client createClient() {
		HttpClient httpClient = new HttpClient();
		ApacheHttpClientConfig config = new DefaultApacheHttpClientConfig();
		config.getProperties().put(ApacheHttpClientConfig.PROPERTY_HANDLE_COOKIES, true);
		// ApacheHttpClient httpClient = ApacheHttpClient.create(config);
		ApacheHttpClientHandler clientHandler = new ApacheHttpClientHandler(httpClient, config);
		ClientHandler root = new ApacheHttpClient(clientHandler);

		Client client = new Client(root, config);
		return client;
	}

}

Note: Make sure that you have qaf-support-ws dependency added in your project.
