How to consume REST in Java [duplicate]

Question

Using Java tools,

wscompile for RPC wsimport for Document etc.. 

I can use WSDL to generate the stub and Classes required to hit the SOAP Web Service.

But I have no idea how I can do the same in REST. How can I get the Java classes required for hitting the REST Web Service. What is the way to hit the service anyway?

Can anyone show me the way?

Working example, try this:

package restclient; import java.io.BufferedReader; import java.io.InputStreamReader; import java.net.HttpURLConnection; import java.net.URL;  public class NetClientGet {     public static void main(String[] args) {         try {              URL url = new URL("http://localhost:3002/RestWebserviceDemo/rest/json/product/dynamicData?size=5");//your url i.e fetch data from .             HttpURLConnection conn = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();             conn.setRequestMethod("GET");             conn.setRequestProperty("Accept", "application/json");             if (conn.getResponseCode() != 200) {                 throw new RuntimeException("Failed : HTTP Error code : "                         + conn.getResponseCode());             }             InputStreamReader in = new InputStreamReader(conn.getInputStream());             BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(in);             String output;             while ((output = br.readLine()) != null) {                 System.out.println(output);             }             conn.disconnect();          } catch (Exception e) {             System.out.println("Exception in NetClientGet:- " + e);         }     } }
