Class RestSession

java.lang.Object
  atg.rest.client.RestSession

public class RestSession
extends java.lang.Object

A class which represents a session with an ATG server. To obtain an anonymous (i.e. not logged in) session: RestSession session = RestSession.createSession(host, port); session.startSession(); [make REST calls here] optionally, if you decide to login later: session.login(username, password); session.logout(); To obtain a session that's logged in: RestSession session = RestSession.createSession(host, port, username, password); session.login(); [make REST calls here] session.logout(); Below is a sample application which demonstrates the basic use of this client library. import atg.rest.client.RestClientException; import atg.rest.client.RestComponentHelper; import atg.rest.client.RestResult; import atg.rest.client.RestSession; import java.io.IOException; public class RestClientSample { private String mUsername = null; private String mPassword = null; private String mHost = "localhost"; private int mPort = 80; private RestSession mSession = null; public RestClientSample() {} protected void parseArguments(String[] pArgs) throws Exception { for (int i = 0; i < pArgs.length; i++) { String arg = pArgs[i]; if (arg.equals("-user")) mUsername = pArgs[i+1]; else if (arg.equals("-password")) mPassword = pArgs[i+1]; else if (arg.equals("-host")) mHost = pArgs[i+1]; else if (arg.equals("-port")) mPort = Integer.parseInt(pArgs[i+1]); } if (isBlank(mUsername)) throw new Exception("Must supply username"); if (isBlank(mPassword)) throw new Exception("Must supply password"); } protected boolean isBlank(String pStr) { return (pStr == null || pStr.length() == 0 || pStr.trim().length() == 0); } protected void println(String s) { System.out.println(s); } protected void println(Throwable t) { t.printStackTrace(System.out); } protected void execute() throws RestClientException { mSession = RestSession.createSession(mHost, mPort, mUsername, mPassword); mSession.setUseHttpsForLogin(false); try { mSession.login(); println("Login Successful"); // add REST requests here } catch (Throwable t) { println(t); } finally { try { mSession.logout(); println("Logout Successful"); } catch (RestClientException e) { println(e); } } } public static void main(String[] args) { RestClientSample sample = new RestClientSample(); try { sample.parseArguments(args); sample.execute(); } catch (Throwable t) { sample.println(t); } } }
