Parse.com REST API in Java (NOT Android)
- by Orange Peel
I am trying to use the Parse.com REST API in Java. I have gone through the 4 solutions given here https://parse.com/docs/api_libraries and have selected Parse4J. After importing the source into Netbeans, along with importing the following libraries:
org.slf4j:slf4j-api:jar:1.6.1
org.apache.httpcomponents:httpclient:jar:4.3.2
org.apache.httpcomponents:httpcore:jar:4.3.1
org.json:json:jar:20131018
commons-codec:commons-codec:jar:1.9
junit:junit:jar:4.11
ch.qos.logback:logback-classic:jar:0.9.28
ch.qos.logback:logback-core:jar:0.9.28
I ran the example code from https://github.com/thiagolocatelli/parse4j
Parse.initialize(APP_ID, APP_REST_API_ID); // I replaced these with mine
ParseObject gameScore = new ParseObject("GameScore");
gameScore.put("score", 1337);
gameScore.put("playerName", "Sean Plott");
gameScore.put("cheatMode", false);
gameScore.save();
And I got that it was missing org.apache.commons.logging, so I downloaded that and imported it. Then I ran the code again and got
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.slf4j.spi.LocationAwareLogger.log(Lorg/slf4j/Marker;Ljava/lang/String;ILjava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/Throwable;)V

I could probably fix this with another import, but I suppose then something else would pop up. I tried the other libraries with similar results, missing a bunch of libraries. Has anyone actually used REST API successfully in Java? If so, I would be grateful if you shared which library/s you used and anything else required to get it going successfully.
I am using Netbeans.
Thanks.
