How to delay retry call to RESTFul endpoint via Jersey Client

[Maulin Vasavada]

Hi all,

I am using Jersey client to hit a RESTFul endpoint. If connection times out I wanted to retry BUT I wanted to put some delay before next retry.

Any ideas how to do it?

Currently, I am using Thread.sleep(<some time in ms>);

Is that good enough? (My RESTFul client code is in my server calling the endpoint).

Thanks
Maulin

Should I use ScheduledExecutorService instead?
