Set Up Your Project

You need the com.ibm.sbt.core.jar dependency. You can add this to your project by creating a maven project and listing the sbt.core.jar as a dependency or manually add the jar and its dependencies from the social business toolkit build.

Use The Rest Client

RestClient restClient = new RestClient("serverUrl","username","password"); Response<AtomFeed> responseFeed = restClient.doGet("/api/resource").asAtomFeed();

Or Statically RestClient.get("http://server/api/resource").basicAuth("username","password").asJson();

You can also create a client using an existing endpoint.

BasicEndpoint endpoint = new BasicEndpoint(); endpoint.setUrl("http://serverUrl.com"); endpoint.setUser("username"); endpoint.setPassword("password"); RestClient client = new RestClient(endpoint);

Or you can create the RestClient using an endpoint defined in a ManagedBeans.xml file. RestClient restClient = new RestClient("IBMConnections");
