Modifier and Type	Method and Description
static WSClient	newClient(int port) Deprecated. as of 2.6, not to be used. This method is not appropriate outside of testing context, because it makes many assumptions about the url, starts up a new client and actorsystem on every call, and hardcodes the config to something other than the app config.

Method Detail

newClient

@Deprecated
public static WSClient newClient(int port)

Deprecated. as of 2.6, not to be used. This method is not appropriate outside of testing context, because it makes many assumptions about the url, starts up a new client and actorsystem on every call, and hardcodes the config to something other than the app config.

Create a new WSClient. Use play.test.WSTestClient rather than this method.

This client holds on to resources such as connections and threads, and so must be closed after use.

If the URL passed into the url method of this client is a host relative absolute path (that is, if it starts with /), then this client will make the request on localhost using the supplied port.

Parameters:

port - The port to use on localhost when relative URLs are requested.

Returns:

A running WS client.
