I’m developing a membership sign up app for an organization on Google App Engine, for new members, they can use a sign up page to become a member, is there a way in Google App Engine to add new members as gmail contacts ? So each time a new user clicks a submit button with his info, a new gmail contact is auto generated and added to my contact list [ my gmail address is registered with the GAE app ].
Here is some of my code try to do that, but it doesn’t add new contacts each a submit button is pressed :
String Add_New_Contact_Url="https://www.google.com/m8/feeds/contacts/default/full";
protected void processRequest(HttpServletRequest request,HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException,IOException
{
request.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8");
response.setContentType("text/html; charset=UTF-8"); // UTF-8 GB18030
PrintWriter out=response.getWriter();
String Email=request.getParameter("Email");
if (Email==null || Email.trim().length()<1)
{
StrBuf=new StringBuffer("<Html><Head><Title>Signup</Title></Head>\n<Body>\n");
StrBuf.append("<P><Br><P><Br><P>\n");
StrBuf.append("<Table Border=1 Align=Center Cellpadding=8 Cellspacing=1><Tr Bgcolor=\"#0088FF\" Colspan=2><Th><Font Color=White>Sign up</Font></Th></Tr></Table>\n<P>\n");
StrBuf.append("<Center>\n");
StrBuf.append("<Form Name=Singles_Club_Signup_Form>\n");
StrBuf.append("<Table Border=1 Cellpadding=6 Cellspacing=1>\n");
...
StrBuf.append("<Tr><Td Align=Right><B><Font Size=3 Color=#0066FF>Email</Font></B></Td><Td><Input type=text name=Email size=36 /></Td></Tr>\n");
...
StrBuf.append("</Table>\n");
StrBuf.append("<P><Br><P>\n");
StrBuf.append("<Input type=submit value=Sign_Up/>\n");
StrBuf.append("</Form>\n");
StrBuf.append("</Center>\n");
StrBuf.append("</Body>\n</Html>");
}
else
{
try
{
LinkedHashMap<String,String> Key_Value_Pairs=new LinkedHashMap<String,String>();
String A_Contact=createContact(Email);
Key_Value_Pairs.put("A",A_Contact);
getFromUrlDoPost(Add_New_Contact_Url,Key_Value_Pairs); // Create new contact in Gmail account
}
catch (Exception e) { out.println(e.toString()); }
finally { if (pm!=null) pm.close(); }
}
}
String createContact(String Email)
{

}
It doesn’t cause error either, what did I do wrong ? I suspect this line :
Key_Value_Pairs.put("A",A_Contact);
Because I don’t know what to put in the place of “A” ?
I found out why : don’t need to include google-collect-*.jar, source of error.
