Hi,
While the Java client library isn't compatible with Java 1.4.2, it can
still be a great reference. I found this example in the sample/gbase/
basic/InsertExample.java file that I think will work in 1.4.2:
public void postItem(String token) throws IOException {
HttpURLConnection connection = (HttpURLConnection)(new
URL(ITEMS_FEED)).openConnection();
connection.setDoInput(true);
connection.setDoOutput(true);
// Set the properties of the connection: the Http method, the
content type
// of the POST request and the authorization header
connection.setRequestMethod("POST");
connection.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "application/atom
+xml");
connection.setRequestProperty("Authorization", "GoogleLogin auth="
+ token);
// Post the data item
OutputStream outputStream = connection.getOutputStream();
outputStream.write(DATA_ITEM.getBytes());
outputStream.close();
// Retrieve the output
int responseCode = connection.getResponseCode();
InputStream inputStream;
if (responseCode == HttpURLConnection.HTTP_CREATED) {
inputStream = connection.getInputStream();
} else {
inputStream = connection.getErrorStream();
}
// write the output to the console
System.out.println(toString(inputStream));
}
Hope that helps,
Lane
