Asynchronous Client HTTP Transport questions

[Marko Kocic <Ma...@trelleborg.com.INVALID>]

Hi guys,

I am refactoring my current CXF based application, and noticed it currently uses jersey to send PATCH requests. Since I want to get rid of an extra dependency, and rely only on Cxf client for everything, including PATCH requests.

I came onto the documentation page about various async client transports, https://cxf.apache.org/docs/asynchronous-client-http-transport.html and have some questions.

- Which async transport is considered the most stable / recommended, HC, HC5 or Netty based?
- If I change the libraries and config to use async libraries for both sync and async requests, do I need to adapt my current code for sync requests?
- is it possible to configure ClientBuilder to use async transport through code only, while default still uses sync?

I am currently using CXF 3.5.9.

Thanks,
Marko
