Sample client code using apache commons http client:-

private static void createSearchablePDF() {
		HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
		String url = "http://localhost:8080/dcma/rest/createSearchablePDF";
		PostMethod mPost = new PostMethod(url);
		File file1 = new File("C:\\sample\\sample1.tif");
		File file2 = new File("C:\\sample\\Fpr.rsp");
		Part[] parts = new Part[7];
		try {
			parts[0] = new FilePart(file1.getName(), file1);
			parts[1] = new FilePart(file2.getName(), file2);
			parts[2] = new StringPart("isColorImage", "false");
			parts[3] = new StringPart("isSearchableImage", "true");
			parts[4] = new StringPart("outputPDFFileName", "OutputPDF.pdf");
			parts[5] = new StringPart("projectFile", "Fpr.rsp");
			parts[6] = new StringPart("ocrEngine", "Recostar");
			MultipartRequestEntity entity = new MultipartRequestEntity(parts, mPost.getParams());
			mPost.setRequestEntity(entity);
			int statusCode = client.executeMethod(mPost);
			if (statusCode == 200) {
				InputStream inputStream = mPost.getResponseBodyAsStream();
				String outputFilePath = "C:\\sample\\Output.pdf";
				File file = new File(outputFilePath);
				FileOutputStream fileOutputStream = new FileOutputStream(file);
				try {
					byte[] buf = new byte[1024];
					int len = inputStream.read(buf);
					while (len > 0) {
						fileOutputStream.write(buf, 0, len);
						len = inputStream.read(buf);
					}
				} finally {
					if (fileOutputStream != null) {
						fileOutputStream.close();
					}
				}
				System.out.println("Web service executed successfully.");
			} else if (statusCode == 403) {

			} else {
				System.out.println(mPost.getResponseBodyAsString());
			}
		} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
			System.err.println("File not found for processing.");
		} catch (HttpException e) {
