Mark Derricutt's Disturbing Thoughts

Integrating Facebook with Wicket

posted Sunday, 3 February 2008

After some minor prodding in ##wicket on irc.freenode.org, Daniel Kaplan just posted a short tutorial on writing a Wicket based Facebook applications - and when I say short, I mean really short - 4 classes and less than a printed page.

Whilst the facebook-java-api library handles all the "hard work" of authenticating and interacting with the Facebook REST API, Daniel's example shows how simple and clean it is to do the "application" side of things.

Most excellent.

Update: Whilst it was only 3 classes, one was missing. Daniel has now updated the wiki.

Hello !

I've tried to test the facebook framework and also the pages given, but in the class named "FaceBookApp" there is an error because the class FaceBookAuthHandler is not on the propossed jar files.

Robert - I just mentioned it to Daniel and he's updating the wiki page with the missing class.
