Facebook4J and Lucee

Hi everyone,
Did any of you implement Facebook4J with Lucee?
I’m not good at jar libraries, and maybe some of you have already tried to implement it.

Thanks,
Ivan

If you want to integrate with the Facebook API you can use the Facebook CFML SDK:

I’ve used it and it works well and is easy enough to use.

Hi @andrew,
and thank you for your answer. I saw that the development of facebook-cf-sdk has been abandoned. Does it still work well?

Works fine for my usage, but I guess it depends what part of the API you want to use and whether or not the existing code base has the required API calls, but even if not, it should be pretty straight forward to use it as a basis for adding the calls you want to it.

Good,
I looked at the source code of facebook-cf-sdk and should use version 2.0 of facebook graph API. Version 2.0 is usable until August 7, 2016:

Then the calls are redirected to the next supported version. You made some changes to make it more updated facebook-cf-sdk?

Oh yes, I had to change the version number on this line a little while back:

github.com

TheRealAgentK/facebook-cf-sdk/blob/master/sdk/FacebookGraphAPI.cfc#L31


      
            * @displayname Facebook Graph API
            * @hint A client wrapper to call Facebook Graph API
            * 
            */
          component extends="FacebookBase" {
          	
          	/*
          	 * @description Facebook Graph API constructor
          	 * @hint Requires an application or user accessToken, appId is only used to invalidate current session if an invalid token is detected
          	 */
          	public Any function init(String accessToken = "", String appId = "", Numeric timeout = 10, String apiVersion = "v2.1") {
          		super.init(appId=arguments.appId, apiVersion=arguments.apiVersion);
          		variables.ACCESS_TOKEN = arguments.accessToken;
          		variables.TIMEOUT = arguments.timeout;
          		return this;
          	}
          	
          	/*
          	 * @description Install an app in a page profile tab at the end of the current list of installed tabs
          	 * @hint Requires a page accessToken
          	 */

But everything I use carried on working, I changed it from 2.1 to 2.7.
