Class RestRepositoryHelper

java.lang.Object

atg.rest.client.RestRepositoryHelper

public class RestRepositoryHelper
extends java.lang.Object

A client side helper class which provides useful methods for making calls into the ATG platform using Rest. By default, all methods will return their results in the format that is configured as the default on the server. To override the default, add the atg-rest-output parameter to the pParams argument of the appropriate method with a suitable value, "xml", "json", or the identifier for an appropriate output customizer. To begin a session, first call the login() method. 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); } } }
