Check out http://blogs.mulesoft.org/twitter-your-blog-with-ibeans/ for some ideas of how you can use iBeans to create these types of apps.

BTW, thanks for turning me on to RTM. I’m going to have to start using it now!

Interesting. I had not looked at iBeans before.

If I could come up with a clever webapp that integrated RTM and something else… like a wiki… it might be a very useful project.

Thanks, Ken!

Eric,

Have you taken a look at iBeans? It’s right up the same alley as GroovyRTM. a RTM iBean would be simple to create to accomplish the same goals (for webapp use). Would love your feedback on the usefulness of iBeans for solving this type of problem.

PS if you create a RTM iBean and submit it, let me know and I’ll make sure you are sent an cool iBeans fleece.

testLogin() unfortunately requires an authenticated app as well.

If you don’t mind using NetBeans my sample project will get you up and running in no time :)

Also, feel free to email me or hit up the project forums at http://kenai.com/projects/groovyrtm/forums/forum

To add tasks you have to authenticate your application. I have an example of how to do this in the sample project at http://kenai.com/projects/groovyrtm/downloads/download/GroovyRtmAuth.zip but I just copied the code to the project wiki at http://kenai.com/projects/groovyrtm/pages/Home for your convenience.

Just to add to the previous post, when I call testLogin() after a successful call to testEcho() , it throws the following exception:

org.eriwen.rtm.RtmServiceException: Login failed / Invalid auth token

Hi Eric,

What should be the groovyRTM directory? I have the groovyrtm.jar in the (groovy_home)/lib/ directory. Isn’t this where the RtmService.properties file is supposed to be?

Also, I tried the approach you suggested. It works and testEcho() returns “true”. But after that when I call tasksAdd(), it again throws the same exception – org.eriwen.rtm.RtmServiceException: Error: Application is not authenticated!

What am I missing now?

You’re properties file isn’t in the correct location. By default, I look for the config file in $GROOVYRTM_DIR/config/RtmService.properites. If I don’t find it there, I look in $GROOVYRTM_DIR/

What might make things easier for you is instantiating RtmService like so:

RtmService groovyrtm = new RtmService(‘your-api-key’,’shared-secret’)
groovyrtm.testEcho()

You don’t even need a config then. Check out the groovydocs at http://eriwen.com/groovyrtm/javadoc/ to see what’s available :)
