Oracle MAF-MCS Connection

Question

I have created one Custom API in Oracle MCS for login authentication and I have an Application built in MAF. My doubt is how to call this Custom API from Oracle MAF application?

Answer 1

If you are using OEPE (Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse), you can use this tutorial for consuming any REST service API,

• Building MAF Applications using OEPE and REST Services

For MCS-MAF support, the following YouTube should help,

• MAF: (OEPE) Using a RAML document to help consume REST services

• You can get the latest version of OEPE from here.

Answer 2

Check out the MAF MCS Utility app (should be in your public examples folder) especially the source code.

More info can also be found in this link.

Short code example:

MBEConfiguration mbeConfiguration = 
    new MBEConfiguration(
          <mbe rest connection>,<mobileBackendId>,
          <anonymous key string>,<application key string>, 
          MBEConfiguration.AuthenticationType.BASIC_AUTH);
 mbeConfiguration.setEnableAnalytics(true);
 mbeConfiguration.setLoggingEnabled(false)
 mbeConfiguration.setMobileDeviceId(
         DeviceManagerFactory.getDeviceManager().getName());
 MBE mobileBackend = MBEManager.getManager().
         createOrRenewMobileBackend(<mobile backend Id>, mbeConfiguration);

CustomAPI customApiProxy = mbe.getServiceProxyCustomApi();
UserInfo userInfo = mobileBackend.getServiceProxyUserInfo();
Analytics analyticsProxy = mobileBackend.getServiceProxyAnalytics();
Storage storageProxy = mobileBackend.getServiceProxyStorage();
