I have a SmartGWT 5.1p web-front end that works with a Spring 4.x MVC RESTful backend.
I know exactly how to send JSON data from the back-end to the front-end where a DataSource can capture the JSON response, and correctly put that data and form into a grid .... all is so far so good.
I want to integrate a LinkedIn login from my SmartGWT front-end web-app. I already created my "App" in LinkedIn, and I have the client key, and secret client key.
So, certainly there are plenty of java code examples out there for me to use ... I have tried a few of them, and can get my personal profile info down in a JSON format for me to play around with.
Scribe, and SignPost, and other tools wrap the details of talking to LinkedIn, so I suppose I could look at their source code ...
The problem is that with SmartGWT, only a subset of the java code is available to us .... there are lots of java objects that cannot be in a SmartGWT application.
In this case, you get an error that says the source code cannot be found.
Since LinkedIn has a RESTful API, it makes sense that I should be able to use a RestDataSource or DataSource to make that authentication to LinkedIn.
I should be able to use a RESTDataSource or DataSource to make connections to the other LinkedIn RESTful API's and get that JSON data.
So, this is something I am looking into ... and I'll get it eventually, but I was hoping someone had already done it, and would be willing to share their code with me.
Thanks!
