I have nuxeo DM 5.5 up and running at http://localhost:8080/nuxeo/site/automation I am trying to access Nuxeo EP 5.5 Automation server from Nuxeo Java automation client as under:

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
    HttpAutomationClient client = new HttpAutomationClient(
           "http://localhost:8080/nuxeo/site/automation");    
    Session session = client.getSession("Administrator", "Administrator");
    Documents docs = (Documents) session.newRequest("Document.Query").set(
           "query", "SELECT * FROM Document").execute();
    System.out.println(docs); 
    client.shutdown();
}

But, the above code giving me the following exception:

java.lang.RuntimeException: Cannot execute {Content-Type=application/json+nxrequest, Accept=application/json+nxentity, */*, Authorization=Basic QWRtaW5pc3RyYXRvcjpBZG1pbmlzdHJhdG9y}

I just took the same example (modified slightly) and ran without issue against an existing 5.5 repository using Administrator credentials. If you paste the Automation server URL into a browser command line, enter credentials, can you then download and open the resulting JSON? Is there any chance it's a rights issue? Do you have all the required libraries on the build path? Here are the versions I used: httpclient-4.1.1, httpcore-4.1, nuxeo-automation-client-5.5-SNAPSHOT, ezmorph-1.0.4, json-lib-2.2.1-jdk15, mail-1.4.jar, jackson-mapper-asl-1.81, and jackson-core-asl-1.8.1 (actually the last two aren't mentioned in Nuxeo docs as dependencies but i did need them to get my example to work).

Anywhere here's the code I just created and used...

import org.nuxeo.ecm.automation.client.Session;
import org.nuxeo.ecm.automation.client.jaxrs.impl.HttpAutomationClient;
import org.nuxeo.ecm.automation.client.model.Documents;

public class testautomation {   
  public static void main(String[] args) {

      String url = "http://192.168.5.115:8080/nuxeo/site/automation";
		
      HttpAutomationClient client = new HttpAutomationClient(url);
		
      Session session = client.getSession("Administrator", "Administrator");
      Documents docs = null;

		try {
			docs = (Documents) session.newRequest("Document.Query").set(
			        "query", "SELECT * FROM Document").execute();
		} catch (Exception e) {
			// TODO Auto-generated catch block
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
		
		if (docs != null)
			System.out.println(docs);
		else
			System.out.println("No documents found");
  
     client.shutdown();
