Dear Friends,

I am stuck with this. I wanted to create an application using Java(J2EE). I have successfully created the application. But suddenly what happend I do not know…Now Facebook has changed something and the same code which was working is now throwing exception. I have changed The FacebookRestClient to FacebookXmlRestClient…Then too it does not work. Can any one help me regarding this. My main intention is to login , get information of his and his friends, display all friends information and send request to them(Which I had done 3 months back). but now I am no where on the track. Nothing works out for me. Is it a problem of facebook? please help me if any of have the solution.

Does anyone know what would be involved if I were to publish a JPG to a facebook profile from an external website? …like a facebook badge?

Yaron and Steve, probably you have got your answers. I am sorry that I am not able to help you out. I have not looked further into FB and the API. Have just implemented this simple integration test. Hope you figured it out!

Hi,

I am developing a website and a Facebook Application to attract the users to the same.

I want to make sure that if someone already has the application and is signed on to Facebook, then there is no need to enter log-in info if they click on any of the website links on the Facebook Application. What I want is for the site and Facebook to work seamlessly as if they were part of the same site.

Is this possible? How can i do this?

Look forward to your response.

Thanks,
Steve

Hi,
Thanks for that great information.
I succeed implementing this and I now I authenticate the user + save the authenticated facebook client in the session + return a form to the user.
The user fill the form and submit…
But then, I get a new session id (in my web server) for the form submission request and of course I can not get the already saved authenticated client from the session.
I can do the authenticated process again but I’m sure this is not the way.
What am I doing wrong?
I use Spring and I thought it will handle the session for me, do I need to pass the session id back to the client by myself?

Thanks,
Yaron

FB changed their api so that you cannot instantiate it anymore. one workaround is to replace all instances of FacebookRestClient in your code with FacebookXmlRestClient

Facebook development using Java has been a total nightmare for me. I couldn’t get it to work using a java redirect as used in this example. I had to redirect to a jsp that contained an FBML redirect element. Even then for some reason the page it redirects to doesn’t want to render on the facebook canvas. Sigh.

Larre,

You rock. There is so much confusion on how to use the Java tools that Facebook provides that you find yourself chasing your own tail… until you find your site!

THANK YOU!
