Build

You can either build with Maven or Gradle

1. First you will need a key for the API: http://fwix.com/account/register and then you need to replace the value in the following file: src/main/resources/auth.properties
2. Maven: mvn install
3. Gradle: gradle build

Run

You can check the integration test in the src/test/java package (FwixClientIntegrationTest)

Work around Spring (if you really need!)

Or use the client directly. See the class FwixAPIWrapperImpl (note that this example uses Spring), so if you want to use this in your app, you'll need to load the fwixContext.xml and wire the bean fwixAPIWrapper (the astute reader will notice that there's no explicit Spring definition for it. it's because we're using "component scanning").

You can work around Spring by creating a new instance of the RestTemplate but it's a bit tricky because of the encoding issue

  public Object findByLatLng(String lat, String lng, String apiKey) {
        RestTemplate restTemplate = new RestTemplate(); //not using Spring!
        List<HttpMessageConverter<?>> list = new ArrayList<HttpMessageConverter<?>>();
        MappingJacksonHttpMessageConverter converter = new MappingJacksonHttpMessageConverter();
        converter.setSupportedMediaTypes(Collections.singletonList(new MediaType("application", "javascript")));
        list.add(converter);
        restTemplate.setMessageConverters(list);
        PlacesWrapper places = restTemplate.getForObject(serverBaseUrl + "?api_key={apikey}&lat={lat}&lng={lon}", PlacesWrapper.class, apiKey, lat, lng);
        return places;
  }
