Run a Java Client with OAuth Bearer Token Login

Run a Java client that uses EMP Connector to subscribe to the channel with OAuth authentication.

Prerequisites

Obtain an OAuth bearer access token for your Salesforce user. You supply this access token in the connector example.

See Authenticate Apps with OAuth in Salesforce Help and Understanding Authentication in the Force.com REST API Developer Guide.

Let’s run an example that uses OAuth bearer token login.

Get the EMP Connector project from GitHub. See Download and Build the Project.

Under the /src/main/java/ folder, open the BearerTokenExample.java Java source file from the example package folder.

57
58        TopicSubscription subscription = connector.subscribe(argv[2], 
59            replayFrom, consumer).get(5, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
60
61        System.out.println(String.format("Subscribed: %s", subscription));
62    }
63}

Run the BearerTokenExample class, and provide the following argument values.

Argument	Value
`username`	Username of the logged-in user.
`password`	Password for the `username` (or logged-in user).
`topic`	`/u/notifications/ExampleUserChannel`

The sample fetches the earliest saved events within the past 24 hours. Optionally, you can supply a replay ID as the last argument to receive different events. Valid values are:

-1—Get all new events sent after subscription.
-2—Get all new events sent after subscription and all past events within the last 24 hours.
Specific number—Get all events that occurred after the event with the specified replay ID.

When you run this client app and generate notifications using the REST resource, the output will look something like:

1Subscribed: Subscription [/u/notifications/ExampleUserChannel:-2]
2Received:
3{payload=Broadcast message to all subscribers, event={createdDate=2016-12-13T00:57:36.020Z, replayId=1}}
4Received:
5{payload=Another message, event={createdDate=2016-12-13T00:58:16.591Z, replayId=2}}

In the next step, you learn how to generate notifications using REST.
