I've been trying to use the WebFOCUS API from a stand alone Java application and i'm having trouble determining the prerequisites. I'm using Eclipse 3.2.1. I have WFAPI.jar from WF 7.1.1 and servlet-api.jar from Tomcat 5.5 in my classpath. I'm trying to login to an MRE WF instance on a remote server as follows:
public static void main(String[] arg)
{
try
{
String cgiLocation = "C:\\ibi\\DevStudio71\\srv71\\wfs\\web\\cgi";
WFApplicationRequest wfApplicationRequest = new WFApplicationRequest();
WFApplicationResponse wfApplicationResponse = new WFApplicationResponse();
wfApplicationRequest.setServerName("ibicmdmmk5");
wfApplicationRequest.setServerPort(25000);
wfApplicationRequest.addParameter( "IBIMR_action", "MR_SIGNON" );
wfApplicationRequest.addParameter( "IBIMR_user", "a200935" );
wfApplicationRequest.addParameter( "IBIMR_pass", "" );
wfApplicationRequest.addParameter( "IBIMR_returntype", "XML" );
WFWorkerUtil.processRequest(cgiLocation,wfApplicationRequest,wfApplicationResponse);
System.out.println(" The WebFocus Server name ==> " + wfApplicationRequest.getServerName());
System.out.println(" The WebFocus Server Port ==> " + wfApplicationRequest.getServerPort());
System.out.println(" The WebFocus Content Length ==> " + wfApplicationResponse.getContentLength());
} catch ( Exception e )
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
}

I'm getting as a result:
RETURN_TYPE_VERSION 1 RETURN_TYPE_VERSION
COMMENT Failed to load driver factory for ibi.webfoc.wfmre.repos.core_bd.WFMRRouterFactory.
RETURNCODE 1099 RETURNCODE

The WebFocus Server name ==> ibicmdmmk6
The WebFocus Server Port ==> 25000
The WebFocus Content Length ==> 0

can anyone tell me what i'm missing.

Thanks in advance Dave Ronne

I was missing the client software. Duh! Installed about 1/2 GB of WF client software. So I have all the software. No more driver factory error but it doesn't work either. There is no indication that I'm even getting off the box.

Hi David,

I think i can help in this.
But my WFAPI.jar has been corrupted and am unable to locate it again. Could you please provide me your WFAPI.jar so that i can proceed in this matter.
Thanks,
Sush

please send me that WFAPI.jar on sujeetsharma1980@gmail.com

Sush
