Coldfusion with third party API's?

We've just signed up to Constant Contact's Mailing list
services, and not that they can provide an API to link their
services to your own web application.
I'm in the early stages of learning coldfusion, and plan to
convert our site to Coldfusion in the near future.
I vaguely what an API is meant to do, but can anyone give me
some basic guidance as to whether using API's should be
straightforward with Coldfusion (and therefore worth building into
our web application from scratch) or is it a difficult/complex area
worth avoiding until fully experienced with using
Coldfusion?

It depends on the application that is providing the API. As
you are probably aware that CF is all java under the hood so if the
"Contant Contact" is build in Java/Groovy, it can be easily
utilized by CF. Othewise in CF8, you can call .Net assemblies. Web
Services are always an option to access any third party
applications. Essentially CF is very ready to integrate with most
third party applications.

  • Create Stanadlone JARs with Third-party API

    Hi,
    I'm working on some personal explorations using OSB 11g, and for that I need to call some JARs with my code. But, the problem is that I'm using Apache POI API for reading MS Excel files. So, how do I go about exporting the POI API along with my code into a single JAR. It has to be one JAR, since to the best of my knowledge OSB doesn't support referencing of multiple JARs at one go.

  • Third Party API with Tomcat and Axis

    I'm experimenting with creating web services in Java. I'm using tomcat and axis for this. I have successfully created and deployed some basic web services and now I want to create one using a 3rd party API. I follow the same exact procedure and when I deploy the service I check my list of deployed services through the axis page, but all my services have disappearred. Commenting out all 3rd party related methods does successfully deploy the service. Is there anything special/extra I have to do to get 3rd Party classes to function correctly in a web service?
    Thanks in advance

  • How to use third party APIs with Sun J2ME Toolkit

    I've installed Sun J2ME Toolkit 2.1. If I intend to use other third party APIs with my existing toolkit, how do I do that. I can manage to get the jar file of the associated API classes, but how to integrate the same with the toolkit. Thanks in advance to all who support.

    if I remember right, it is enough, if you put the .jar of the api in the lib/ directory of your project (<WTK>/apps/<yourProject>/lib/ )

  • SerialVersionUID problem with third party class

    Hello,
    One of our projects is using java 6 (that won't change). We need to use some third party APIs which is developped using java 5, and I guess some wild rmi implementation.
    If I try to use this api from a java 5 project, no problem.
    If I try to use it from java 6, I got this exception.
    Is there something I could try (workaround, something I can tell the api provider to fix, ...)?
    "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_01\bin\javaw.exe" -client -classpath D:\dev\TestAde\Project1\classes;D:\dev\TestAde\Project1\lib\ADEAde.jar;D:\dev\TestAde\Project1\lib\ADEConfig.jar;D:\dev\TestAde\Project1\lib\ADEJDom.jar;D:\dev\TestAde\Project1\lib\ADEMisc.jar;D:\dev\TestAde\Project1\lib\ADEStubs.jar project1.Test

    The serialVersionUID of sun.rmi.server.UnicastRef in 1.5 is -9213327104222131866L. Strangely it isn't defined in the source code, just left to be calculated at runtime.
    I recommend you first search all your JAR files on both client and server, apart from the Java rt.jar of course, for classes in java.rmi.* and sun.rmi.*. If you find any class in these packages, or indeed in sun.* or java.*, complain loudly to the supplier, and try deleting them.
    If you don't find any such thing, I would then report this as a bug to Sun and I would also post it to the RMI-USERS mailing list where you will probably get a very rapid response.

  • SGD with Third Party Authentication issue

    Hi
    I am trying to setup SGD with Third Party Authentication and have done all the requisites for this.
    I input the SGD URL and get the Third Party Login page but after I input my credentials, I get redirected to the SGD default login page which should not be the case. I had already set "Tomcat Authentication" as false in server.xml and enabled the Third Party authentication scheme in Array Manger
    What else am I missing ?
    Kindly advise
    SGD ver4.31
    Thanks

    Every now and then I have found the same. One thing that almost always solved the problem was recreating a new trusted user, you can follow the steps from:
    [http://docs.sun.com/source/820-1088/trusted_users.html|http://docs.sun.com/source/820-1088/trusted_users.html]
    Especially the step to test the trusted_user is a very good test to see if the trusted user is ok: http://server/axis/services/rpc/externalauth
    When prompted, log in as the trusted user.
    An other way to test it is via the api-test functionality: http://server/sgd/admin/apitest/
    First setup a session: webtopsession->startSession(0)
    Then authenticate via externalauth->setSessionIdentity
    These steps are the minimal steps to perform 3rdParty Authentication
    (There is also an example jsp for 3rd Party Authentication on the wikis.sun: [http://wikis.sun.com/display/SecureGlobalDesktop/Single+sign-on+(before+4.40)|http://wikis.sun.com/display/SecureGlobalDesktop/Single+sign-on+(before+4.40)] )

  • Design Approach For Integrating Third Party API's

  • Precompiled third party API usage

    Hi,
    I have a question related to the compile and run time behavior of the java objects.
    I have written a class which is using third party API classes. The third party API is compiled using the older version (say JDK1.2) version of java. Now I compile my developed class with JDK 1.6.
    When we compile a java file which is using the third party API classes, does the byte code hence generated contains the references of the API classes used or somehow it include the byte code of these classes in the newly compiled classes' bytecode? If the byte code of the API classes gets inserted into the newly generated class, does the third party class will also be compiled with the JDK1.6.
    Actually I am trying to migrate my application from weblogic 8.1 to weblogic 10.0. The higher version of weblogic require the java files compiled using JDK 1.5 or higher versions. Since the third party APIs are compiled using the previous versions of JDK so I am getting a bit skeptical whether this will work or not. If at all, this will work (with the old API classes) than how?
    Thanks in advance,
    Amit Singhal

    I would say to (at least attempt) to get new versions of the librarires.
    In any case, the only byte code that shows up in a classfile is created from the code in that class definition (excpet for some references to static final variables, but that can be overlooked for now). Nothing from those "libraries" will be inserted into your newly compiled classes.
    Now, as far as those libraries functioning under a new JVM (with such a large version disparity) is questionable. Technically they should, but I would neither count on this, nor expect them to be effecient even if they do function.

  • Is it a third party API for creating table in J2ME?

    I am a newbie to J2ME and i would like to know that whther is there any third party API for creating table in J2ME beside using Canvas to draw the table? Please help...

    its not the "L shape" that holds it better rather the higher GAUSS rating on the older connector.
    Apple redesigned the NEW magsafe to be weaker AND of a diff. design with lower neodymium magnetic gauss rating for a reason
    people at coffee shops etc were getting their macbooks yanked to the ground when someone tripped over the cord.
    The new neodymium is a N35 gauss and the older Lshape was N40 or N45 gauss (too tight)
    I know what youre talking about, but Apple redesigned it that way for several good reasons, despite it "coming out easier" on the bed for which ,
    as Apple Inc. states, it is "not intended to be used" (nor in laps, couches...etc.)

  • Really Apple? OSX 10.8.5 disables built-in camera functionality with third party apps such as Skype and Gmail video chat. I do not have time machine on my 2013 MB Air. How can I get back to 10.8.4?

    Really Apple?
    With the release OSX 10.8.5 Apple has once again showed its true colors, and continued its efforts to create a closed Apple system, which eliminates third party vendors, unless, one can only assume... they pay.
    Included in this OSX update is the disabling of the built-in camera to work with third party applications such as Skype and Gmail video chat. No surprise the camera works just fine with Apple apps such as Facetime and Photobooth.
    The answer I got on my call to AppleCare to ask for assistance in reinstalling 10.8.4, so that I may Skype again, was we can not do that. You can not go back unless you have a time machine bkup.
    Can anyone help me get back to to 10.8.4 on my 2013 MB Air?
    I do not have a time machine bkup as this computer is not used to store important documents.
    Thank you.

    Read this post: 10.8.5 Broke Camera Usage For 3rd Party Apps Like Skype

    Don't panic. Skype simply needs to update its app.

  • SharePoint 2013 on-premises integration with third party email account

    the Email sending issue from SharePoint is causing too much time waste 
    First let me explain how our SharePoint is deployed
    Sharepoint version : 2013
    Deployment type : on-premise
    Authentication : from Domain controller also hosted locally 
    domain name ; say domain.com this domain.com is same as our website address hosted on godaddy
    SharePoint computer name on local DNS :  sharepoint.domain.com
    OS and IIS : 2008 r2 , IIS 7.5 
    Network firewall : 25 26 ports  opened for sharepoint , both incoming and outgoing.
    Server firewall : turned off
    Email configuration Attempts by IIS 6.0 
    We tried following setting on IIS 6.0 SMTP local server properties
    In General tab
    qualified name was shown as : sharepoint.dts-solution.com
    IP assigned : sharepoint server IP  , advanced putted two entries of IP with ports as 25,26
    In Access tab
    Authentication : selected as Anonymous 
    Connection : All except below list : empty list
    Relay : only the list below , one entry as 127.0.0.1 and other is local static IP of SharePoint server
    in Delivery tab
    outbound security : Basic authentication : accessed user in AD and given the right password, also checked with annonymous -not working 
    outbound connection: all default values and port = 25
    Advance : fully qualified domain name = sharepoint.domain.com , DNS test showed success, rest every check box unchecked 
    On sharepoint central management settings
    Outbound email = sharepoint.domain.com
    from and reply to address = [email protected] 
    IIS 7.5 SMTP settings 
    In IIS 7.5 sharepoint application we added SMTP settings as smtp server = godaddy out going smtp , user name as [email protected] , password = godaddy password , port : godaddy outgoing port  .
    Godaddy account 
    Our website hosted on godaddy with same name as domain.com
    open relay not possible on emails.
    Results
    After setting alerts on SharePoint sites and assigning tasks with alerts we receive email in queue folder but they never get forwarded. We just wish to use any of our email *.domain.com to send outgoing emails from SharePoint . Its been a while we have no
    success.

    Hi,
    As I understand, you are using SharePoint 2013 integrating with third party SMTP server which provides email function.
    From SharePoint side, I'd suggest you refer to the link below to configure email integration:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee956941(v=office.15).aspx
    If you have already confirm that message is sent from SharePoint, while stuck in queue on SMTP server, then the issue might be related to relay on SMTP server. Since the issue is related to third party product, we do not have enough resource here,
    I'd recommend you contact their support engineer for more assistance:
    https://support.godaddy.com/help/category/154/email
    https://support.godaddy.com/help/article/3552/managing-your-email-account-smtp-relays

  • Integration of ChaRM with third party tools

    Hi all,
    We are in the process of building the solution for Change Request Management implementation integrated with third party tool. 
    As the normal process for ChaRM is to work with the Service Desk functionality (to raise a ticket, then support message, change request, change document etc...), but what we need is create the change request, and change document directly with ChaRM without using the Service Desk functionality. 
    Did anybody come across this situation?
    Please share your experience. 
    Thanks in advance.
    Balaji

    Hi Balaji,
    there is no problem, as I understand, you want to use ChaRM without Service Desk. OK, than you create directly a Change Request in CRMD_ORDER, the transaction type you have to select is SDCR (standard transaction type), you have to approve it and then you can create a change document, it is not necessary that you start with a Service Desk ticket like SLFN.
    You need configured TMS a SolMan Project with a Maintenance Cycle, thats it (but this is enough , don't forget the customizing).
    I hope I understood you correct

  • Conflict with Third Party Apps?

    I am getting an occasional error saying there is a possible conflict with third party apps and that I need to check the drivers of my MIDI devices to see if they are up to date? Sorry but I did not record the exact wording. Does anyone know what this might mean, and how I need to go about checking drivers? I have a lot of interfaces and not sure how to see what's what. Thanks.

    Hi Midlake,
    Well, because they are known troublemakers. Search for 'takes' or 'take folder(s)' or 'comp' here on the forum and you'll find many a troubled soul crying out for help - including seasoned pro's, who thought they were beyond tears...
    O, they are fine for recording many takes - but thats' all. I'll select the best takes/phrases.

  • How to integrate DRM with third party tool for loading metadata in SQL table

    Experts,
    I am new to DRM and I have a requirement in which we want to integrate DRM with third party tool(lets say SQL table) as target and load metadata from DRM (Parent node, name , alias etc) to SQL table (same column name)
    Is there any way we can integrate DRM to export the same to table directly instead to files. If yes what are the steps we have to follow.
    Is there anyway we can customize DRM to execute queries or run batch
    Can I have a basic example please.
    Thanks in advance,
    Regards,

    1. Use DRM Export to Table option, for that create an External Connection first for the Target Database and select the respective Tables to which you wish to Export the Hierarchy information.
    2. You can perform most of the DRM Actions via the DRM_BATCH_CLIENT.exe.
        Please refer to Using the Data Relationship Management Batch Client of DRM User guide.
    let me know if you have any issues.
