how to get http jersey response status before parsing to dto?

Question

my code used to be:

ClientResponse clientResponse = webResource.path("routingRequest")
                    .queryParam("at", rr.at)
                    .get(ClientResponse.class);

I added:

RoutingResponse routingResponse = webResource.path("routingRequest")
                    .queryParam("at", rr.at)
                    .get(ClientResponse.class)
                    .getEntity(RoutingResponse.class);

How can I get the http result code, now when I don't even get the ClientResponse.class

How would you get this status?

There is no reason why you cannot read the client response and the entity body in the same breath.

    ClientConfig cc = new DefaultClientConfig();
    cc.getProperties().put(
            ClientConfig.PROPERTY_FOLLOW_REDIRECTS, true);
    Client c = Client.create(cc);
    WebResource r = c.resource("https://my_url");
    ClientResponse response = r.get(ClientResponse.class);
    EntityTag e = response.getEntityTag();
    String entity = response.getEntity(String.class);
    System.out.println("The response status is " + response.getStatus());
    System.out.println("The enttiy body is " + entity);
