Answer 1

For folks still looking for a solution, here is the complete code on how to save jaxrs response to a File.

public void downloadClient(){
    Client client = ClientBuilder.newClient();
    WebTarget target = client.target("http://localhost:7070/upload-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT/rest/files/download");

    Response resp = target
      .request("application/pdf,image/jpeg,application/xml,application/vnd.ms-excel")
      .get();

    if(resp.getStatus() == Response.Status.OK.getStatusCode())
    {
        InputStream is = resp.readEntity(InputStream.class);
        fetchFeed(is); 
        //fetchFeedAnotherWay(is) //use for Java 7
        IOUtils.closeQuietly(is);
        System.out.println("the file details after call:"+downloadfile.getAbsolutePath()+", size is "+downloadfile.length());
    } 
    else{
        throw new WebApplicationException("Http Call failed. response code is"+resp.getStatus()+". Error reported is"+resp.getStatusInfo());
    }
}
/**
* Store contents of file from response to local disk using java 7 
* java.nio.file.Files
*/
private void fetchFeed(InputStream is){
    File downloadfile = new File("C://Data/test/downloaded/testnew.pdf");  
    byte[] byteArray = IOUtils.toByteArray(is);
    FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(downloadfile);
    fos.write(byteArray);
    fos.flush();
    fos.close();
}

/**
* Alternate way to Store contents of file from response to local disk using
* java 7, java.nio.file.Files
*/
private void fetchFeedAnotherWay(InputStream is){
    File downloadfile = new File("C://Data/test/downloaded/testnew.pdf");  
    Files.copy(is, downloadfile.toPath(), StandardCopyOption.REPLACE_EXISTING);
}
