Currently this project is in early development. The javascript node framework is much more mature. https://github.com/jivesoftware/jive-sdk If you choose to use this project at this state, be prepared to fork the repo and make bug fixes and changes to the api (and please submit them back for review)
To get started look in the example directory.
You need your own servlet or http server and persistence framework. The example uses jersey/glassfish and persists to a single file.
To use the SDK you must implement com.jivesoftware.jivesdk.api.InstanceRegistrationHandler and attach your instance to
JiveSDKManager by using the following code:
JiveSDKManager.getInstance().setInstanceRegistrationHandler(instanceRegistrationHandler);
