circle-sync

Author: Mark Bush, Ocado Ltd

The circle-sync application is an example of how to use the Google+ Domains API. The application provides a way of managing the members of one or more Circles based on an external source.

This application is set up as an Eclipse project, however you can import it into your preferred development environment.

Builing the application

I have used Maven to manage the build process. If you are using an IDE, then there will be a plugin available which will help with building and running projects. You can build on the command line using:

mvn package appassembler:assemble

The "package" goal compiles the source and then packages it into a JAR file. The "appassembler:assemble" goal creates an application setup in the project's "target/appassembler" folder containing all the dependant JARs and scripts (for both Windows and UNIX based systems) that enable you to run it easily.

Configuring the Application

By default, the application looks for a file called "circle-sync.conf" in the current directory. This file should have lines of the form:

:

All white space in the file is significant. The base application expects

to be the name of a group to be looked up in LDAP (such as Active Directory).

NOTE: the group name should be fully qualified, such as: CN=Marketing,OU=Groups,DC=example,DC=com

The Circle will be created if it doesn't already exist.

You can specify an alternate configuration file as an argument to the application when you run it.

If you replace the definition of "sourceLoader" in CircleSync with an instance of FileSourceLoader, then the source identifier can be the name of a file containing email addresses (one per line).

Running the Application

On Windows, use the generated script: target/appassembler/bin/circle-sync.bat

On UNIX based systems (Mac, Linux, etc), use the alternate script: target/appassembler/bin/circle-sync
