Similar to request method (Entity class) but for Java EE 6

So I created another thread and it's about the same code but the need for the question I believe it's different enough to grant another question/thread/post.

I would like to know if there's a way similar to the request method that exists in Entity

http://ift.tt/1RTm07W

So I want to use a similar code to this:

 Response response = target.path("rest").path("todos")
        .path(todo.getId()).request().accept(MediaType.APPLICATION_XML)
        .put(Entity.xml(todo),Response.class);

But for java EE 6, since this is my first time using this types of classes and when looking for similar functionalities I get really lost, I don't really know what would be similar to that request.
