reuse the same WebClient instance and fix CXF-8992 if it's threadsafe #1781
Conversation
When the WebClient is thread safe, it should be fine to reuse it instead of calling WebClient.fromClient(). Additionally, this fixes (at least in cases when the WebClient is thread safe) an issue due to GC: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-8992

@dennis-yemelyanov the usage of the new client instance is not accidental and is not about thread safety as much as the following the JAX-RS specification (please consult section "5.3 Client Targets" of the JSR-339).

ah WebTarget must be immutable, I missed that part... I might think more if it's possible to separate the externally visible part of it (like the target URL) from internal details, so the closeable (and finalizable) part can still be reused. But I guess it won't be trivial (if possible at all).
Or we need to adjust some logic from this commit, to ensure different instances don't affect each other when finalized 5ffdb90#diff-660ab7b7b6a7b75d899f2a1cd889b168aadd5a194d2aa9fbae875c1b56891c6c
