Create An Item
The Create an Item example creates a new ToDo item.
The first part of the program is almost identical to the Hello World Example, see the description there for more details.
In this case we also need to provide the Object Store URL, since these examples use that API.
public class CreateToDoItem extends CommandLineHandler implements Runnable
{
private static final String ALLEGRO = "ALLEGRO_";
private static final String SERVICE_ACCOUNT = "SERVICE_ACCOUNT";
private static final String POD_URL = "POD_URL";
private static final String OBJECT_STORE_URL = "OBJECT_STORE_URL";
private static final String CREDENTIAL_FILE = "CREDENTIAL_FILE";
private static final String THREAD_ID = "THREAD_ID";
private static final String OWNER_USER_ID = "OWNER_USER_ID";
private String serviceAccount_;
private String podUrl_;
private String objectStoreUrl_;
private String credentialFile_;
private ThreadId threadId_;
private Long ownerId_;
private IAllegroApi allegroApi_;
/**
* Constructor.
*/
public CreateToDoItem()
{
withFlag('s', SERVICE_ACCOUNT, ALLEGRO + SERVICE_ACCOUNT, String.class, false, true, (v) -> serviceAccount_ = v);
withFlag('p', POD_URL, ALLEGRO + POD_URL, String.class, false, true, (v) -> podUrl_ = v);
withFlag('o', OBJECT_STORE_URL, ALLEGRO + OBJECT_STORE_URL, String.class, false, true, (v) -> objectStoreUrl_ = v);
withFlag('f', CREDENTIAL_FILE, ALLEGRO + CREDENTIAL_FILE, String.class, false, false, (v) -> credentialFile_ = v);
withFlag('t', THREAD_ID, ALLEGRO + THREAD_ID, String.class, false, true, (v) -> threadId_ = ThreadId.newBuilder().build(v));
withFlag('u', OWNER_USER_ID, ALLEGRO + OWNER_USER_ID, Long.class, false, false, (v) -> ownerId_ = v);
}
@Override
public void run()
{
allegroApi_ = new AllegroApi.Builder()
.withPodUrl(podUrl_)
.withObjectStoreUrl(objectStoreUrl_)
.withUserName(serviceAccount_)
.withRsaPemCredentialFile(credentialFile_)
.withTrustAllSslCerts()
.build();
PodAndUserId ownerUserId = ownerId_ == null ? allegroApi_.getUserId() : PodAndUserId.newBuilder().build(ownerId_);
System.out.println("CallerId is " + allegroApi_.getUserId());
System.out.println("OwnerId is " + ownerUserId);
System.out.println("PodId is " + allegroApi_.getPodId());
In the next part of the program we create a ToDo item, setting the due date to the current time and the title and description to hard coded values.
IToDoItem toDoItem = new ToDoItem.Builder()
.withDue(Instant.now())
.withTimeTaken(new BigDecimal(1000.0 / 3.0))
.withTitle("An example TODO Item")
.withDescription("Since we are creating this item with a due date of Instant.now() we are already late!")
.build();
System.out.println("About to create item " + toDoItem);
Next we create the header object, which will be stored unencrypted in the cloud. This object should only be used if you need to process objects server side and should only contain timestamps, IDs and public information.
IToDoHeader header = new ToDoHeader.Builder()
.withRequestingUser(allegroApi_.getUserId())
.withAffectedUsers(allegroApi_.getUserId())
.withEffectiveDate(Instant.now())
.build();
The ToDo object is the unencrypted payload which we wish to store. Before we can store it we need to encrypt it, which we do by creating a StoredApplicationObject using the ApplicationObjectBuilder class.
IStoredApplicationObject toDoObject = allegroApi_.newApplicationObjectBuilder()
.withThreadId(threadId_)
.withHeader(header)
.withPayload(toDoItem)
.withPartition(new PartitionId.Builder()
.withName(CalendarApp.PARTITION_NAME)
.withOwner(ownerUserId)
.build()
)
.withSortKey(toDoItem.getDue().toString())
// .withPurgeDate(Instant.now().plusMillis(60000))
.build();
allegroApi_.store(toDoObject);
System.out.println("Created " + toDoObject);
To create the encrypted StoredApplicationObject we pass the threadId of the conversation with which the object is to be associated. This is used to obtain the content encryption key with which the payload will be encrypted. Note that any member of the conversation (chat room of instant message conversation) would be able to obtain the content key for that conversation and could read the object from the object store.
We also provide the payload and header created above, and the partition to which the object should be added. The SortKey determines the position of the new object in the Partition and must be unique within the partition. If you wish to use a time stamp as the SortKey as this example does, then you either need to be certain that the time stamp of all records in a Partition will be unique or append some additional attribute to avoid collisions.
If you attempt to create a second object with a duplicate SortKey the call will fail, updates to the underlying data store are performed transactionally to ensure this consistency.
When we call the build() method the payload is encrypted and the StoredApplicationObject is returned which can then be safely stored in the cloud.
The StoredApplicationObject signed as well as being encrypted, and this signature is verified before the object is accepted by the server for storage.
When we run this example we see the following output:

CallerId is 351775001412007
OwnerId is 351775001412007
PodId is 5119
After some preliminary log output we see the ToDo item payload:
About to create item {
"_type":"com.symphony.s2.model.calendar.ToDoItem",
"_version":"1.0",
"description":"Since we are creating this item with a due date of Instant.now() we are already late!",

"title":"An example TODO Item"
}
And finally the encrypted and signed StoredApplicationObject as stored in the cloud:
