RestClient class to connect to Eloqua:
import java.io.BufferedReader;import java.io.InputStream;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.io.OutputStream;
import java.net.HttpURLConnection;
import java.net.URL;
public class RestClient
{
private String authToken;
private String baseUrl;
public RestClient(String user, String password, String url)
{
baseUrl = url;
String authString = user + ":" + password;
authToken = "Basic " + javax.xml.bind.DatatypeConverter.printBase64Binary(authString.getBytes());
}
public String execute(String uri, String method, String body) throws Exception
{
String response ="";
try
{
URL url = new URL(baseUrl + uri);
HttpURLConnection conn = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
conn.setInstanceFollowRedirects(false);
conn.setRequestMethod(method.toString());
conn.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "application/json");
conn.setRequestProperty("Accept", "application/json");
System.out.println(authToken);
conn.setRequestProperty("Authorization", authToken);
if (method == "POST" || method == "PUT")
{
if(null != body){
conn.setDoOutput(true);
final OutputStream os = conn.getOutputStream();
os.write(body.getBytes());
os.flush();
os.close();
}
}
InputStream is = conn.getInputStream();
BufferedReader rd = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader( is));
String line;
while ((line = rd.readLine()) != null)
{
response += line;
}
rd.close();
conn.disconnect();
}
catch (Exception e)
{
throw e;
}
return response;
}
