This is a Java API for indexing documents into IDOL servers.
IDOL servers use an index port for indexing content. This library provides a Java API for performing this task.
Previous versions were available as jar files from HP Autonomy customer support.
java-idol-indexing-api is available from the central Maven repository.
<dependency>
<groupId>com.hp.autonomy.idol</groupId>

<version>3.0.0</version>

The primary means of interaction is the IndexingService. An IndexingServiceImpl can either be created with the host and index port for an IDOL server, or the executeAction method must be called with a host and port each time.
final IndexingService indexingService = new IndexingServiceImpl(
new DefaultHttpClient(),
new ServerDetails(host, port)
);
Subclasses of IndexCommand are used to send index commands. For example, to create a DREADD command:
final IndexCommand command = new DreAddCommand();
command.setIndexFile("/path/to/my/file");
To execute this command, the IndexingService executeCommand method should be called with the action. The index id of the index job is returned.
final int indexId = indexingService.executeCommand(command);
Use the Java ACI API to track the status of the job.
There are no substantial differences between the open source version and previous versions.
