get clientLibrary from plain java (Hello Jazz tutorial)

Question

I have successfully followed the "Hello Jazz tutorial" located at https://jazz.net/library/article/118. The example uses a JUnit test class to test the service call, and it runs just fine without any errors.

My problem is that it doesn't work when i try to call the service from a plain java class. My test class looks like the the JUnit test class, the main difference is that it doesn't extend TestCase.

The problem is that the repo.getClientLibrary clause returns null.

I have read the thread https://jazz.net/forum/questions/648/client-library-not-found-during-the-service-call but that didn't help me.

Can anyone please help me in understanding what i am doing wrong ?

Isn't possible to call a ClientLibrary from a plain java class ?

Here is the test code.

package com.example.hellojazz.client.tests;
import com.example.hellojazz.client.IHelloJazzClientLibrary;
import com.ibm.team.repository.client.ITeamRepository;
import com.ibm.team.repository.client.TeamPlatform;
import com.ibm.team.repository.common.TeamRepositoryException;
public class SimpleTest {
	private ITeamRepository repo;
	
	public static void main(String[] args) throws TeamRepositoryException{
		 SimpleTest test = new SimpleTest();
		 test.helloJazz();
		 
	}
	private void helloJazz() throws TeamRepositoryException {
		if (!TeamPlatform.isStarted())
			TeamPlatform.startup();
		repo = login();
		if(repo!=null){
			IHelloJazzClientLibrary library = (IHelloJazzClientLibrary) repo.getClientLibrary(IHelloJazzClientLibrary.class);
			String result = library.sayHello();
			System.out.println("resultat = "+result);
		}
		repo.logout();
	}
	/**
	 * The URI scheme <code>"local:"</code> creates a Jazz server on the same
	 * thread as the client.
	 */
	private static final String REPOSITORY_URI = "https://localhost:7443/jazz";
	private ITeamRepository login() throws TeamRepositoryException {
		ITeamRepository repository = TeamPlatform.getTeamRepositoryService()
				.getUnmanagedRepository(REPOSITORY_URI);
		repository.registerLoginHandler(new ITeamRepository.ILoginHandler() {
			public ILoginInfo challenge(ITeamRepository repo) {
				return new ILoginInfo() {
					public String getUserId() {
						return "TestJazzAdmin1";
					}
					public String getPassword() {
						return "TestJazzAdmin1";
					}
				};
			}
		});
		repository.login(null);
		return repository;
	}
}

looks like you need to insure the

IHelloJazzClientLibrary.class is in the classpath

it is pre-compiled in the zip file here

com.example.hellojazz-plugins-source.zip\com.example.hellojazz-plugins-source\com.example.hellojazz.service\bin\com\example\hellojazz\service\internal

Finally I managed to get it working.

The problem was indeed the classpath.

In my first eclipse launcher(the one that didn't work) I added the projects com.example.hellojazz.common and com.example.hellojazz.client on my classpath, but that didn't work.

Then i exported com.example.hellojazz.client and com.example.hellojazz.common to jar files and added them to my classpath in the launcher instead of the projects, and then it worked like a charm.

could anyone explain to me why the first attempt didn't work ? I would expect it to work similar to the second attempt, but it didn't.

Thank you for your help.

Answer 4

I have a plain java client app that calls thru a client library without problem.

here is my call to my client library
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    private static IMemoryClient IMemService=null;
    private static IMemoryClient getMemoryService(String url)
    {
        if(IMemService==null)
            IMemService=(IMemoryClient)getRepository(url).getClientLibrary(IMemoryClient.class);
        if(IMemService==null)
            System.out.println("parm client get library failed");
        return IMemService;
    }

It's all about the answers!
