The Trulia Java RETS Client is a library used to access data on RETS compliant servers. This is a fork of the jrets master branch, which it self is a fork of the CART RETS client.
Simple example of a search:
public static void main(String[] args) throws MalformedURLException {
//Create a RetsHttpClient (other constructors provide configuration i.e. timeout, gzip capability)
RetsHttpClient httpClient = new CommonsHttpClient();
RetsVersion retsVersion = RetsVersion.RETS_1_7_2;
String loginUrl = "http://theurloftheretsserver.com";
//Create a RetesSession with RetsHttpClient
RetsSession session = new RetsSession(loginUrl, httpClient, retsVersion); String username = "username";
String password = "password";
//Set method as GET or POST
session.setMethod("POST");
try {
//Login
session.login(username, password);
} catch (RetsException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
String sQuery = "(Member_num=.ANY.)";
String sResource = "Property";
String sClass = "Residential";
//Create a SearchRequest
SearchRequest request = new SearchRequest(sResource, sClass, sQuery);
//Select only available fields
String select ="field1,field2,field3,field4,field5";
request.setSelect(select);
//Set request to retrive count if desired
request.setCountFirst();
SearchResultImpl response;
try {
//Execute the search
response= (SearchResultImpl) session.search(request);
//Print out count and columns
int count = response.getCount();
System.out.println("COUNT: " + count);
System.out.println("COLUMNS: " + StringUtils.join(response.getColumns(), "\t"));
//Iterate over, print records
for (int row = 0; row < response.getRowCount(); row++){
System.out.println("ROW"+ row +": " + StringUtils.join(response.getRow(row), "\t"));
}
} catch (RetsException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
if(session != null) { try {
session.logout(); } catch(RetsException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
Simple example making a GetObjectRequest:
public static void main(String[] args) throws MalformedURLException {
//Create a RetsHttpClient (other constructors provide configuration i.e. timeout, gzip capability)
RetsHttpClient httpClient = new CommonsHttpClient();
RetsVersion retsVersion = RetsVersion.RETS_1_7_2;
String loginUrl = "http://theurloftheretsserver.com";
//Create a RetesSession with RetsHttpClient
RetsSession session = new RetsSession(loginUrl, httpClient, retsVersion);
String username = "username";
String password = "password";
try {
//Login
session.login(username, password);
} catch (RetsException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
String sResource = "Property";
String objType = "Photo";
String seqNum = "*"; // * denotes get all pictures associated with id (from Rets Spec)
List<String> idsList = Arrays.asList("331988","152305","243374");
try {
//Create a GetObjectRequeset
GetObjectRequest req = new GetObjectRequest(sResource, objType);
//Add the list of ids to request on (ids can be determined from records)
Iterator<String> idsIter = idsList.iterator();
while(idsIter.hasNext()) {
req.addObject(idsIter.next(), seqNum);
}
//Execute the retrieval of objects Iterator<SingleObjectResponse> singleObjectResponseIter = session.getObject(req).iterator();
//Iterate over each Object while (singleObjectResponseIter.hasNext()) {
SingleObjectResponse sor = (SingleObjectResponse)singleObjectResponseIter.next();
//Retrieve in info and print
String type = sor.getType();
String contentID = sor.getContentID();
String objectID = sor.getObjectID();
String description = sor.getDescription();
String location = sor.getLocation();
InputStream is = sor.getInputStream();
System.out.print("type:" + type);
System.out.print(" ,contentID:" + contentID);
System.out.print(" ,objectID:" + objectID);
System.out.println(" ,description:" + description);
System.out.println("location:" + location); //Download object
try {
String dest = "/path/of/dowload/loaction";
int size = is.available();
String filename = dest + contentID +"-" + objectID + ".jpeg";
OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(new File(filename)); int read = 0;
byte[] bytes = new byte[1024];
while ((read = is.read(bytes)) != -1) {
out.write(bytes, 0, read);
}
is.close();
out.flush();
out.close();
System.out.println("New file with size " + size + " created: " + filename);
} catch (IOException e) {
System.out.println(e.getMessage());
}
}
} catch (RetsException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
finally {
if(session != null) {
try {
session.logout();
}
catch (RetsException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
}
Example of Geting Metadata:
public static void main(String[] args) throws MalformedURLException {
//Create a RetsHttpClient (other constructors provide configuration i.e. timeout, gzip capability)
RetsHttpClient httpClient = new CommonsHttpClient();
RetsVersion retsVersion = RetsVersion.RETS_1_7_2;
String loginUrl = "http://theurloftheretsserver.com";
//Create a RetesSession with RetsHttpClient
RetsSession session = new RetsSession(loginUrl, httpClient, retsVersion); String username = "username";
String password = "password";
//Set method as GET or POST
session.setMethod("POST");
try {
//Login
session.login(username, password);
} catch (RetsException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
try {
MSystem system = session.getMetadata().getSystem();
System.out.println(
"SYSTEM: " + system.getSystemID() + " - " + system.getSystemDescription());
for(MResource resource: system.getMResources()) {
System.out.println(
" RESOURCE: " + resource.getResourceID());
for(MClass classification: resource.getMClasses()) {
System.out.println(
" CLASS: " + classification.getClassName() +
" - " + classification.getDescription());
}
}
}
catch (RetsException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
if(session != null) { try {
session.logout(); } catch(RetsException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
}
