Java (HTTPClient)

There are several libraries that allow Java access to REST resources. The code shown below is based on the Apache HTTPClient.

    		
           package com.cisco.ncs.nbi;

			import org.apache.http.HttpEntity;
			import org.apache.http.HttpResponse;
			import org.apache.http.auth.AuthScope;
			import org.apache.http.auth.UsernamePasswordCredentials;
			import org.apache.http.client.methods.HttpGet;
			import org.apache.http.conn.scheme.Scheme;
			import org.apache.http.conn.scheme.SchemeSocketFactory;
			import org.apache.http.conn.ssl.SSLSocketFactory;
			import org.apache.http.conn.ssl.TrustSelfSignedStrategy;
			import org.apache.http.impl.client.DefaultHttpClient;
			import org.apache.http.util.EntityUtils;
			
			public class SampleClient {
			
				/**
				 * @param args
				 */
				public static void main(String[] args) {
			
					DefaultHttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
					
			        httpclient.getCredentialsProvider().setCredentials(
			                new AuthScope("ncs-xmp-build-2", 443),
			                new UsernamePasswordCredentials("root", "Public123"));
			
					SchemeSocketFactory sf;
					try {
						sf = new SSLSocketFactory(new TrustSelfSignedStrategy());
			
						Scheme https = new Scheme("https", 443, sf);
			
						httpclient.getConnectionManager().getSchemeRegistry()
								.register(https);
			
						HttpGet httpget = new HttpGet(
								"https://ncs-xmp-build-2/webacs/api/v1/data/InventoryDetails");
						
				           System.out.println("executing request" + httpget.getRequestLine());
				            HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httpget);
				            HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();
				            
				            System.out.println("----------------------------------------");
				            System.out.println(response.getStatusLine());
				            if (entity != null) {
				                System.out.println("Response content length: " + entity.getContentLength());
				            }
				            EntityUtils.consume(entity);
			
					} catch (Exception e) {
						// TODO Auto-generated catch block
						e.printStackTrace();
					}
					finally {
						 httpclient.getConnectionManager().shutdown();
					}
			
				}
    		
    		

The code above allows the use of a self signed certificate in Prime Infrastructure. Production code should not have this enabled.
