Getting contact list from gmail using jsp

[swethak]

hi,

i have to get the gmail contact list using jsp code. For that purpose i have to use the Google data Api

<%@ page import="com.xdatasystem.contactsimporter.*" %>
<%
// automatically guess the correct implementaion based on the email address
ContactListImporter importer=ContactListImporterFactory.guess("[e-mail]", "mypassword");
List<Contact> contacts=importer.getContactList();
for(Contact c : contacts) {
  out.println("name: "+c.getName()+", email: "+c.getEmail());
}
%>
 
 

By using like that code i got the errors as


org.apache.jasp er.JasperExcept ion: Unable to compile class for JSP

An error occurred at line: 2 in the jsp file: /importcontact.j sp

We think these are errors comes due to the didn't have the proper jar files.In that i didn't place any jar files in lib folder.

If these error comes due to jar files please tell that what jar files i have to to place in the lib folder.
otherwise please tell that whats the problem in my code.

Hey there friend!

I am not sure if it is a jar file problem, but I can tell you from my own experience using mail (similarly to yours)... An attempt to use Gmail gateway failed, I supposed because Google did not allow me to use their mail server to send mail.

I suspect you'll need to figure out a way to be allowed into your mail in code, which may mean getting Google's okay.

Not sure if Gmail gives out their mail gateway info for use.

Good luck finding it, please post your findings for all to see, if you could:-)

@swethak
I don't really know JSP, but the errors indicate, that you either haven't imported those libraries (I'm guessing you normally have to in JSP just like in normal Java) or that it can indeed not find the jars.

ContactListImpo rter should be in a jar that should be downloadable here, I could imagine that ContactListImpo rterFactory is in the same jar. List is probably java.util.List and Contact will be in some Google API, I would think.
