RestClientBuilder

```
public interface RestClientBuilder
```
This is the main entry point for creating a Type Safe Rest Client.
Invoking newBuilder() is intended to always create a new instance, not use a cached version.

The RestClientBuilder is a Configurable class as defined by JAX-RS. This allows a user to register providers, implementation specific configuration.

Implementations are expected to implement this class and provide the instance via the mechanism in RestClientBuilderResolver.instance().

static RestClientBuilder newBuilder()
```
  - baseUrl
```
RestClientBuilder baseUrl(java.net.URL url)
```
    Specifies the base URL to be used when making requests. Assuming that the interface has a @Path("/api") at the interface level and a url is given with http://my-service:8080/service then all REST calls will be invoked with a url of http://my-service:8080/service/api in addition to any @Path annotations included on the method. Subsequent calls to this method will replace the previously specified baseUri/baseUrl.
    
    Parameters:
    
    url - the base Url for the service.
    
    Returns:
    
    the current builder with the baseUrl set.
  - baseUri
```
default RestClientBuilder baseUri(java.net.URI uri)
```
    Specifies the base URI to be used when making requests. Assuming that the interface has a @Path("/api") at the interface level and a uri is given with http://my-service:8080/service then all REST calls will be invoked with a uri of http://my-service:8080/service/api in addition to any @Path annotations included on the method. Subsequent calls to this method will replace the previously specified baseUri/baseUrl.
    
    Parameters:
    
    uri - the base URI for the service.
    
    Returns:
    
    the current builder with the baseUri set
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the passed in URI is invalid
    
    Since:
    
    1.1
  - connectTimeout
```
RestClientBuilder connectTimeout(long timeout,
                                 java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit unit)
```
    Set the connect timeout.
    Like JAX-RS's javax.ws.rs.client.ClientBuilder's connectTimeout method, specifying a timeout of 0 represents infinity, and negative values are not allowed.
    
    If the client instance is injected via CDI and the "fully.qualified.InterfaceName/mp-rest/connectTimeout" property is set via MicroProfile Config, that property's value will override, the value specified to this method.
    
    Parameters:
    
    timeout - the maximum time to wait.
    
    unit - the time unit of the timeout argument.
    
    Returns:
    
    the current builder with the connect timeout set.
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - - if the value of timeout is negative.
    
    Since:
    
    1.2
  - readTimeout
```
RestClientBuilder readTimeout(long timeout,
                              java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit unit)
```
    Set the read timeout.
    Like JAX-RS's javax.ws.rs.client.ClientBuilder's readTimeout method, specifying a timeout of 0 represents infinity, and negative values are not allowed.
    
    Also like the JAX-RS Client API, if the read timeout is reached, the client interface method will throw a javax.ws.rs.ProcessingException.
    
    If the client instance is injected via CDI and the "fully.qualified.InterfaceName/mp-rest/readTimeout" property is set via MicroProfile Config, that property's value will override, the value specified to this method.
    
    Parameters:
    
    timeout - the maximum time to wait.
    
    unit - the time unit of the timeout argument.
    
    Returns:
    
    the current builder with the connect timeout set.
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - - if the value of timeout is negative.
    
    Since:
    
    1.2
  - executorService
```
RestClientBuilder executorService(java.util.concurrent.ExecutorService executor)
```

    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the executor parameter is null.
    
    Since:
    
    1.1
  - sslContext
```
RestClientBuilder sslContext(javax.net.ssl.SSLContext sslContext)

    Parameters:
    
    sslContext - the ssl context
    
    Returns:
    
    the current builder with ssl context set
