How to create a client for 'X-Auth-Token' authentication over Spring Security implementation on a Rest Service?

I am building an application for practicing an architecture and its balance, I have to create a client for testing purpose, the rest service use tokens for authentication implementing Spring Security that employs: authentication-manager, security http, AuthenticationTokenProcessingFilter, intercept-url and tokens, so after some reading I have to resolve 'X-Auth-Token' inject on headers and authentication part, the following lines are for testing this king of Authentication:

	messageConverters.add(new MappingJacksonHttpMessageConverter());
	messageConverters.add(new FormHttpMessageConverter());
	restTemplate.setMessageConverters(messageConverters);
	TokenTransfer tokenTransfer = restTemplate.postForObject(URL_SECURITY, request, TokenTransfer.class);
	String token1=tokenTransfer.getToken();

	LOGGER.debug("RESULTADO="+result1.getBody());
	}catch(ResourceAccessException ex){
	LOGGER.error(ex.getMessage(),ex);
	}
	}
	}
	}

By now we have a client for test authentication and authorization for next steps.
