Answer 1

The question is not explicitly related to Helidon SE.

Consuming REST or SOAP web services require writing a client, and you can accomplish this goal in several ways.

For REST ws you can refer here How do you create a REST client for Java? .

Helidon SE- Web client: https://helidon.io/docs/latest/#/se/webclient/01_introduction

//Create a WebClient with simple builder:
WebClient client = WebClient.builder()
        .baseUri("http://localhost")
        .build();

//Execute a simple GET request to endpoint:
Single<String> response = client.get()
        .path("/endpoint")
        .request(String.class);
