Question

I have been looking into Spring Social Facebook’s publish(objectId, connectionName, data) API, but am not sure of the usage of this API (sadly, due to lack of javadocs!). Can someone point me to a comprehensive sample usage of the API, please?

What I am looking to do is publish a story on a user’s wall, similar to the below snapshot:

How should the publish() API be used to do the same? Any help is highly appreciated!

Also, I need my post to have additional actions (apart from Like, Comment).

Here’s what I could finally figure out:

MultiValueMap<String, String> map = new LinkedMultiValueMap<String, String>();
map.set("link", linkUrlString);
map.set("name", "Link Heading");
map.set("caption", "Link Caption");
map.set("description", "Loooooo....ng description here");
map.set("message", "hello world");

// THE BELOW LINES ARE THE CRITICAL PART I WAS LOOKING AT!
map.set("picture", "http://www.imageRepo.com/resources/test.png"); // the image on the left
map.set("actions", "{'name':'myAction', 'link':'http://www.bla.com/action'}"); // custom actions as JSON string

publish(userIdToPostTo, "feed", map);
