Jazz Java APIs for stand alone application
![]()
Are there Jazz Java APIs that can be used in an application that does not
run as a plugin of the Jazz platform? I am implementing the connector for an application that provides data migration functionalities. In my case I need to implement the connector for the Jazz platform. Are there APIs that will allow my application to do login, logout, workitem extract and workitem modification kind of function from an external application? -- Sincerely, Ahmed Hadad IBM STG |

This is possible. All common and client-library plugins can be used as
normal jars in plain java. A plain java program would roughly look like this: public static void main(String[] args) { try { TeamPlatform.startup(); ITeamRepositoryService svc=TeamPlatform.getTeamRepositoryService(); ITeamRepository repo = svc.getTeamRepository(REPOSITORY_URI); repo.registerLoginHandler(new ITeamRepository.ILoginHandler() { public ILoginInfo challenge(ITeamRepository repository) { return new ILoginInfo() { public String getUserId() { return USER_ID; } public String getPassword() { return PASSWORD; } }; } }); repo.login(new NullProgressMonitor()); try { TheServiceYouNeed service = (TheServiceYouNeed) repo .getClientLibrary(TheServiceYouNeed.class); doYourStuff(service); } finally { if (repo.loggedIn()) { repo.logout(); } } } catch (TeamRepositoryException x) { handleException(x); } finally { if (TeamPlatform.isStarted()) { TeamPlatform.shutdown(); } } } Kai Jazz Process team Ahmed Hadad (IBM) wrote: Are there Jazz Java APIs that can be used in an application that does |

Hi,
I've tried to execute the code, but unfortunately TeamPlatform.startup() fails: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com.ibm.team.repository.common.internal.util.InternalTeamPlatform (initialization failure) at java.lang.J9VMInternals.initialize(J9VMInternals.java:130) at com.ibm.team.repository.client.TeamPlatform.isStarted(TeamPlatform.java:72) at ca.ucalgary.jazz.connection.prototype.one.Connector.main(Connector.java:50) Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org.apache.log4j.Logger at com.ibm.team.repository.common.internal.util.InternalTeamPlatform.<clinit>(InternalTeamPlatform.java:38) at java.lang.J9VMInternals.initializeImpl(Native Method) at java.lang.J9VMInternals.initialize(J9VMInternals.java:192) at com.ibm.team.repository.client.TeamPlatform.startup(TeamPlatform.java:47) at ca.ucalgary.jazz.connection.prototype.one.Connector.main(Connector.java:16) It fails during the client-initializing process...

A large number of jars will be required on your class path to use Jazz from
a plain java client. There is currently no pre-packaged plain Java SDK zip available that I'm aware of. Our component executes the Jazz ant tasks in a plain java context. To give you an idea of how many jars may be required depending on what you are doing...take a look in your jazz\buildsystem\buildtoolkit directory. As you'll see there are a large number needed to allow our ant tasks to resolve all class references they use. I'm am NOT recommending you use that directory for your class path entries. We only include the jars necessary for our ant tasks to execute successfully. You may need more or less and we freely change the directly to suit our needs so don't create a dependency on it. I'm only presenting it as an example. From your exception it looks like you are missing the log4j-1.2.12.jar but I imagine you'll be missing others as well.

No modifications to workitems are available at this time. If you're using a secured connection to your server, the biggest challenge will be dealing with the proprietary form-based auth, but the code for dealing with that is isolated in a single (small) plugin. -- Todd (Jazz Team) |

Can you explain more about how to use the REST services for reading WorkItems - if building a customized client? How does authentication work in this scenario ?
