InteractingWithTheServer

There is a possibility to access Rapla from another java application through the Rapla-API (broken link removed) and the Rapla facade. You find a sample that connects to a server in the source distribution under src/org/rapla/examples/RaplaConnectorTest.java

Make sure you have rapla-{currentVersion}.jar in your classpath. You may need to adjust the login and server settings.

Here is the source code from Rapla Connector Test

        try
        {
            // Connects to http://localhost:8051/
            // and calls rapla/rpc/methodNames for interacting 
            StartupEnvironment env = new SimpleConnectorStartupEnvironment( "localhost", 8051,"/", false, logger);
            RaplaMainContainer container = new RaplaMainContainer( env);
            RaplaContext  context = container.getContext();

            // get an interface to the facade and login
            ClientFacade facade = context.lookup(ClientFacade.class);

            if ( !facade.login( "admin", "".toCharArray()) ) {
                throw new RaplaException("Can't login");
            }

            // query resouce
            Allocatable firstResource = facade.getAllocatables() [0] ;
            logger.info( firstResource.getName( Locale.getDefault()));

            // cleanup the Container
            container.dispose();
        }
        catch ( Exception e )
        {
            logger.error("Could not start test ",  e );
        }

    }
