How to invoke a ASP.NET Web API from Java

Question

I need to implement a function using java code to invoke an ASP.NET Web API on remote server. Is there any library that I could use, like axis2 for Web Services? I think the Apache HttpClient could help me to create a requrest, is there any other choice? Thanks in advance.

Basically, Asp.net Web API is simply a Restful Service that can be call from many technologies (javascript, C#, java, php, ...) Unlike Soap formatting, it is much more easier to call this kind of service. Try with your browser !

You can find many librairies on google or in SO ( here and here).
