Google Apps for Your Domain API in Java

Implementation of Google Apps for Your Domain Provisioning API in Java.

You can see a live demo at my java hosting http://gfourgroup.s42.eatj.com/GoogleApp/google.jsp

Please note that eatj automatically stops the server after 6 hours so above link might not work. The war file includes the extra libraries required for the sample to work. (commons codec, commons httpclient, commons logging)

Download the source code (war)

Servlet which takes the request from the form to perform lookup to google webserver

package com.uttarainfo.googleapp;



import java.io.IOException;

import java.io.PrintWriter;



import javax.servlet.ServletException;

import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;

import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;

import javax.servlet.http.HttpSession;



/**

 * Servlet implementation class for Servlet: GoogleHelper

 *

 */

 public class GoogleHelper extends javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet implements javax.servlet.Servlet {

    /* (non-Java-doc)

	 * @see javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet#HttpServlet()

	 */

	public GoogleHelper() {

		super();

	}   	



	/* (non-Java-doc)

	 * @see javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet#doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)

	 */

	protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {

		// TODO Auto-generated method stub

		String token = (new GoogleAppToken()).getToken(request.getParameter("Email"), request.getParameter("Passwd"));

		PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();

		if (token!=null){

			HttpSession session = request.getSession();

			session.setAttribute("token", token);

			out.print("successful login");

		} else {

			out.print("login failed. Go back to the previous page and try again");

		}

			

	}

}

Below is helper class that actually gets the Token from google server

package com.uttarainfo.googleapp;



import java.io.IOException;



import org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpClient;

import org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpException;

import org.apache.commons.httpclient.methods.PostMethod;



public class GoogleAppToken {

	private static String url = "https://www.google.com/accounts/ClientLogin";



	public String getToken(String email, String password) {

		try {

			HttpClient client = new HttpClient();

			PostMethod method = new PostMethod(url);

			method.addParameter("accountType", "HOSTED");

			method.addParameter("Email", email);

			method.addParameter("Passwd", password);

			int statusCode = client.executeMethod(method);

			System.out.println("Here");

			if (statusCode == 200) {

				System.out.println("Here");

				String contents = method.getResponseBodyAsString();

				method.releaseConnection();

				String[] response = contents.split("\n");

				if (response != null) {

					System.out.println("Here");

					//The first line contains the SID, split that line by the "="

					String[] SID = response[0].split("=");

					if (SID != null) {

						System.out.println(SID[1]);

						return SID[1];

					} else

						System.out.println("SID was not included within the content	within the authentication request.");

				} else

					System.out.println("No content was returned from Google during	the authentication request.");

			} else

				System.out.println("Error posting authentication request to Google.	Status code returned: "

								+ statusCode);

		} catch (HttpException e) {

			// TODO Auto-generated catch block

			e.printStackTrace();

		} catch (IOException e) {

			// TODO Auto-generated catch block

			e.printStackTrace();

		}

		return null;

	}

}
