StoreClient
Introduction
DuraCloud provides access to files stored in cloud storage systems through an application called DuraStore. DuraStore is installed and running on your DuraCloud instance and can be accessed via a REST interface. In order to aid Java developers in communicating with DuraStore, a Java client, called StoreClient was written.
Using
...
the client
To use the StoreClientStoreClinet, you will need all of the jars included in the libs directory of the download below to be available on your classpath. You will then be able to write code using the provided Javadocs to interact with the StoreClient.
Example Client
An example Java class has been provided to assist in set up and testing, as well as a starting point for writing your client code. The example client (found in ExampleClient.java) includes a simple main class to print out the list of spaces and space metadata available in your DuraStore account. To run the example:
- Extract the store-client zip file
- Update the HOST, PORT, USERNAME, and PASSWORD constant values in ExampleClient.java as needed to connect to your DuraCloud instance.
- Make sure Ant is available on your path and type "ant" to compile the example.
- Type "ant run" to run the example, which will print space names and metadata to the console.
ServiceClient
Introduction
