New Project: Spring Social Google

[turntwo463]

Craig,

Thanks for making the latest snapshot available. A quick test looks like it has resolved the problem on my end.

For others, the changes I made to pick up compatible libraries are in the pom.xml for spring-social-google:

<properties>
<spring.social.version>1.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT</spring.social.version>
</properties>

and in the pom.xml for spring-social-quickstart:

<org.springframework.social-version>1.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT</org.springframework.social-version>

Nice. But using restTemplate.getInterceptors() still means that this is not Spring 3.0 compatible, which sucks.

Might I suggest adding pagina to the ContactTemplate getContactList()?

Nice work

Considering that google has a vast library, wouldn't this be the case to split this into even smaller sub apis?

social-google-calendar
social-google-latitude
?

If that's the case I would like to help, I was building the foursquare api, but after doing some code, and finishing the UserProfile, I found out that there was already an initial implementation

Trying to find one social sub api to implement now

Regards

Thanks, but I don't plan to split the library into API-specific libraries since the bulk of the work will be done at the common core, leaving very little to the API-specific functionality, so I think splitting it would only make dependency management more complex.

If you are looking for an API to implement Spring Social binding to, how about Yahoo?

Good idea, will add it to the roadmap.

Hi All,

An update on the project: I implemented more contact operations and started to implement what is available of Google+, which is profile fetching and activities fetching. You can see it in action here: http://gdata.cloudfoundry.com/

I also wrote an introductory blog post about Spring Social Google: http://www.recompile.it/2011/09/spri...ogle-apis.html

Thanks for your feedback!

Could you please keep this project Spring 3.0 compatible?

Thanks,
Marc

It makes sense to me to add paging support to the contact list retrieval as it may result in gi-normous results and if people want that they still can:

public List<Contact> getContactList(int startIndex, int maxResults) {
    return extractFeedEntries(CONTACTS_FEED + "?start-index=" + startIndex + "&max-results=" + maxResults, new ContactExtractor());
}

guznik,
you should put compatible for Spring 3.0 becaouse version 3.1 isn't released.
Please do it!

I would like to thank Gabriel for his efforts on providing this API binding for Google. I've been hitting a couple of issues using this and will post follow-up questions about these. My focus for this post relates to:

1) Is this the appropriate forum to ask questions related to Spring Social Google?

2) Are there plans to make Spring Social Google an official part of the Spring Social APIs so that it will be on equal footing in terms of development and support with the Facebook and Twitter APIs (which are available directly from SpringSource)? A roadmap and official support for this will be a major factor in my decision to work through some of the growing pains with this API and use it within our application.

Thanks,
David
