ABRT problem_data API implemented in Java

abrt-java

ABRT API Java bindings

Compile the jar file with maven: mvn package

Unzip the jar archive created in the target/ folder to /usr/share/java

Use in your code:

import com.redhat.abrt.ProblemDataAbrt;
import com.redhat.abrt.ProblemDataServer;

public MyClass {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        ProblemData pd = new ProblemDataAbrt();
        pd.add("BACKTRACE", "backtrace content");
        pd.add("TYPE", "java");
        pd.add("ANALYZER", "java");
        pd.add("PID", "12345");
        pd.add("EXECUTABLE", "/bin/eclipse");
        pd.add("REASON", "tesing java problem data");
        String filename = "/etc/hosts";
        try {
            pd.addFile(filename);
        } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
            System.err.println("Can't add file: " + filename);
        }

        ProblemDataServer ps = new ProblemDataServer();
        try {
            send(pd);
        } catch (IOException e) {
            System.err.println("Can't send data to ABRT: " + e.getMessage());
        }
    }
}

jabrt's Issues

package to rpm

write docs

Add an enum containing all supported keys

"BACKTRACE", "TYPE" etc. might be stored in an enum to avoid errors caused by typos etc. (contents of strings are not checked by IDE, but enum constants could be verified)

ProblemData interface should inherit from Map<String, ProblemDataItem>

Otherwise it doesn't make sense to define

abstract void add(String key, String value);

since the parent interface defines this method.

Add ProblemData.add(String key, Throwable t)

It would be nice to have a method ProblemData.add(String key, Throwable t) which would transform stack trace accessible from Throwable into a String representation of ST.

write tests

Direct request to ABRT

I was thinking about rewriting ProblemDataServer, so that it does not requires unix socket for sending ProblemData to ABRT server, but rather send http request directly to ABRT. This would allow usage of library in apps that don't run on other operating systems.

Is it possible or ABRT requires to send ProblemData through unix socket?
