Java SDK Samples

Common Geotab API usage examples in Java.

Setup

git clone https://github.com/Geotab/sdk-java-samples.git
cd sdk-java-samples
mvn compile

Run

mvn exec:java -Dapp=<name>

Credentials are resolved in priority order:

1. System properties — -Dserver=my.geotab.com -Ddatabase=G560 -Dusername=user@mail.com -Dpassword=secret
2. Environment variables — GEOTAB_SERVER, GEOTAB_DATABASE, GEOTAB_USER, GEOTAB_PASSWORD
3. Interactive prompts — entered at the terminal when a required value is missing

The password is never echoed or stored. No credential files are written to disk.

Example — environment variables (recommended for CI/CD)

export GEOTAB_SERVER=my.geotab.com
export GEOTAB_DATABASE=G560
export GEOTAB_USER=user@mail.com
export GEOTAB_PASSWORD=secret
mvn exec:java -Dapp=getCount

Example — system properties

mvn exec:java -Dapp=getCount \
-Dserver=my.geotab.com \
-Ddatabase=G560 \
-Dusername=user@mail.com \
-Dpassword=secret
