Run a Java Client with Username and Password Login

Run a Java client that uses EMP Connector to subscribe to the channel with username and password authentication.
  1. Get the EMP Connector project from GitHub. See Download and Build the Project.
  2. In the /src/main/java/com/salesforce/emp/connector/example folder, open the LoginExample.java Java source file.
  3. Run the LoginExample class, and provide the following argument values.
    Argument Value
    username Username of the logged-in user.
    password Password for the username (or logged-in user).
    topic /u/notifications/ExampleUserChannel
    The sample fetches the earliest saved events within the past 24 hours. Optionally, to receive different events, you can include a replay ID as the last argument. Valid values are:
    • –1—Get all new events sent after subscription.
    • –2—Get all new events sent after subscription and all past events within the past 24 hours.
    • Specific number—Get all events that occurred after the event with the specified replay ID.
  4. When you run this client app and generate notifications using the REST resource, the output will look something like:
Generally, do not handle usernames and passwords of others when running code in production. In a production environment, delegate the login to OAuth. The next step connects to Streaming API with OAuth.
