StoreClient
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.
ServiceClient
DuraCloud provides management capabilities to deploy, undeploy, configure, and gain status of the services within DuraCloud through an application called DuraService. DuraService 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 DuraService, a Java client, called ServiceClient was written.
ReportClient
DuraCloud provides reporting capabilities which assist in understanding and managing the content stored in DuraCloud and services run through DuraCloud. These capabilities are included in an application called DuraReport. DuraReport 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 DuraReport, a Java client, called ReportClient was written.
Using the clients
To use any of the above clients, you will need all of the jars included in the libs directory of the download package to be available on your classpath. You will then be able to write code using the provided Javadocs to interact with the client.
Example code
For each of the clients listed above, 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 which performs a subset calls the client is capable of performing, and printing information to the console. To run an example:
- Extract the 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.
