Read response body in JAX-RS client from a post request

Try this:

String output = response.getEntity(String.class);

EDIT

Thanks to @Martin Spamer to mention that it will work for Jersey 1.x jars only. For Jersey 2.x use

String output = response.readEntity(String.class);

I just found a solution for jaxrs-ri-2.16 - simply use

String output = response.readEntity(String.class)

this delivers the content as expected.
