java - JAX-RS 2.0 - How to get entity from Response object -

i'm using jax-rs 2.0 dropwizard 0.8.0-rc1 , can't figure out how pull entity javax.ws.rs.core.response object. response.getentity() gives me bytearrayoutputstream. can create 2 requests - 1 gives me headers , links , other gives me response entity, seems stupid, wasteful , unclear thing do. there way getting entity response object?

my current test code follows:

public class groupsresourcetest {      public static string configuration_file = "src/test/resources/test-conf.yml";      @classrule     public final static dropwizardapprule<bpmconsoleconfiguration> rule =             new dropwizardapprule<>(bpmconsoleapplication.class, configuration_file);      static client client;      @beforeclass     public static void initclient(){         client = new jerseyclientbuilder(rule.getenvironment()).build("client");         client.register(httpauthenticationfeature.basic(user.admin.login, user.admin.password));     }      @test     public void shouldgetgroups() {         //when         webtarget resource = target("/groups");         list<string> groups = resource.request().get(new generictype<>(list.class)); //first request         response response = resource.request().get(); //second request         link self = response.getlink("self");         //then         assertthat(self.geturi().getpath()).isequalto("/groups");         assertthat(groups).contains(user.admin.login);      }      public webtarget target(string path){         string url = string.format("http://localhost:%d%s", rule.getlocalport(), path);         return client.target(url);     }  } 

you can use:

• public abstract <t> t readentity(class<t> entitytype) - read message entity input stream instance of specified java type using messagebodyreader supports mapping message entity stream onto requested type.
