Java:Gateway connection from uuid

[FrankT]

Hi all,

I want to write a little java console application to get a few things from my Omero server.
To connect I would usually use:

Code: Select all

gateway.connect(new LoginCredentials(User, Password, host, port))

Since I will be calling this application from a script I don’t necessarily have that information. I have however the session uuid. How do I connect using that?
I found the omero.client class, which has a joinSession function, but I do not know, how the gateway and that client class are connected.

(As far as I know I can’t use the CLI-Client for this, since that would require me to install ICE on the machine that is running this program.)

Dear Frank,

With your existing code snippet if you pass the session UUID as the username then that should work. In that case a null password seems okay. We should probably improve the documentation to make that possibility clearer.

Cheers,
Mark

Thanks Mark. That worked.
