DocuSign eSign Java Client Library

Designed and developed by @mikebz

This is a client library to help you get started with DocuSign eSignature API. To get started with using this library go to http://www.docusign.com/devcenter and get a free development account. After you get an account and an Integrator Key (App Key) you will be able to make test web service calls.

You can use eclipse to get going with it or potentially copy the src files somewhere else.

The JSON parsing is based on the Jackson library. To see examples of how the library can be used for most frequently used scenarios just look in the test directory. The unit tests showcase the most frequent usage scenarios.

NOTE: it does not and will not have the full functionality of the DocuSign service. Feel free to update the proxy classes yourself and contribute functions. Alternatively you can get the raw HTTP connection and send over your own JSON. For full functionality and documentation visit www.docusign.com/devcenter and iodocs.docusign.com

System Requirements

The client library was tested with Eclipse 3.2 JDK 1.6

It could very well be that your version of IDE and Java will work without modifications, but there is a reason why this library is provided without warranty of any kind.

Important Terms

Integrator Key: Identifies a single integration. Every API request includes the Integrator Key and a username/password combination

Envelope: Just like a normal Postal Envelope.It contains things like Documents, Recipients, and Tabs

Document: The PDF, Doc, Image, or other item you want signed. If it is not a PDF, you must include the File Extension in the API call

Tab: Tied to a position on a Document and defines what happens there. For example, you have a SignHere Tab wherever you want a Recipient to sign

Recipient: The person you want to send the Envelope to. Requires a UserName and Email

Captive Recipient: Recipient signs in an iframe on your website instead of receving an email

PowerForm: A pre-created Envelope that you can launch instead of writing server-side code

Rate Limits

Please note: Applications are not allowed to poll for envelope status more than once every 15 minutes and we discourage integrators from continuously retrieving status on envelopes that are in a terminal state (Completed, Declined, and Voided). Excessive polling will result in your API access being revoked.
If you need immediate notification of envelope events we encourage you to review envelope events or use our Connect Publisher technology, DocuSign Connect as an alternative.
