get facebook friends using restfb

By -
If you are using restfb (Facebook graph API and old REST API client wriiten in Java), and you want to access all friend list after Oauth authentication, you can use following method,



public List<ArrayList> findFacebookFriendsUsingRest(String facebookAccessToken){
  List<ArrayList> myFacebookFriendList= new ArrayList();
  final FacebookClient facebookClient;
  facebookClient = new DefaultFacebookClient(facebookAccessToken);
  User user = facebookClient.fetchObject("me", User.class);
  String userName = user.getFirstName();
  if (userName == null){
  userName = user.getLastName();
  }
  String userEmail = user.getEmail();
  com.restfb.Connection<User> myFriends = facebookClient.fetchConnection("me/friends", User.class);
  System.out.println("Count of my friends: " + myFriends.getData().size());
  for(User friend: myFriends.getData()){
  System.out.println("Friends id and name: "+friend.getId()+" , "+friend.getName());
    myFacebookFriendList.add(friend.getName());
  }
  System.out.println("All Friends : "+myFacebookFriendList);
}

    Facebook do not allow (at the moment) to access friends emails.

Struts 2 : Warning :No configuration found for the specified action: 'Login.action' in namespace: '/'

By -
No configuration found for the specified action: 'Login.action' in namespace: '/'''. Form action defaulting to 'action' attribute's literal value. Solution: To remove this warning you need to change following... See your struts.xml file what name you have specified... If you are using namespace / and your action name is 'Login' then  replace Login.action to Login as given below... <s:form action=" Login.action " method="post" >   Use below with namespace  1) <s:form action=" Login " method="post" namespace="/">   Or   2) <s:form action=" /Login " method="post" >   Now you will not get this warning.
