Azure Java SDK - Where have classes gone

Question

I am using the Java sdk to try and automate some azure tasks like start a server and shutdown a server. I was using version 0.9.0 of the java sdk from the maven

           <dependency>
                <groupId>com.microsoft.azure</groupId>
                <artifactId>azure-svc-mgmt</artifactId>
                <version>0.9.0</version>
            </dependency>   

            <dependency>
                <groupId>com.microsoft.azure</groupId>
                <artifactId>azure-svc-mgmt-compute</artifactId>
                <version>0.9.0</version>
            </dependency>

This code compiled and ran successfully in eclipse

 package com.services.servers.operations.azure;

import java.io.IOException;
import java.net.URI;
import java.net.URISyntaxException;

import com.microsoft.windowsazure.Configuration;
import com.microsoft.windowsazure.core.utils.KeyStoreType;
import com.microsoft.windowsazure.exception.ServiceException;
import com.microsoft.windowsazure.management.compute.ComputeManagementClient;
import com.microsoft.windowsazure.management.compute.ComputeManagementService;
import com.microsoft.windowsazure.management.compute.VirtualMachineOperations;
import com.microsoft.windowsazure.management.configuration.ManagementConfiguration;

public class AzureTest {

    String uri = "https://management.core.windows.net/";
    String subscriptionId = "dasdas9-86da-4343-a1f4-24c20864e166";
    String keyStoreLocation = "C:\\Users\\test\\Desktop\\azure\\testKeystore.jks";
    String keyStorePassword = "password";

    public boolean startVirtualMachine(String serviceName, String deploymentName, String virtualMachineName){

        boolean isSuccess = true;

        try {            

            VirtualMachineOperations virtualMachineOperations = null;

            Configuration config = ManagementConfiguration.configure(
                        new URI(uri), 
                          subscriptionId,
                          keyStoreLocation, 
                          keyStorePassword, 
                          KeyStoreType.jks 
                      );

            ComputeManagementClient computeManagementClient = ComputeManagementService.create(config);

            virtualMachineOperations = computeManagementClient.getVirtualMachinesOperations();

            virtualMachineOperations.beginStarting(serviceName, deploymentName, virtualMachineName);

        } catch (IOException e) {
            System.out.println("An IOException has occured. Exception: " +e);
            isSuccess = false;
        }  catch (ServiceException e) {
            System.out.println("A ServiceException has occured. Exception: " + e);
            isSuccess = false;
        } catch (URISyntaxException e) {
            System.out.println("A URISyntaxException has occured. Exception: " + e);
            isSuccess = false;
        }         


        return isSuccess;
    }

}

When I upgrade to the latest version of the sdk - 0.9.1 - the following classes dont exist any longer

import com.microsoft.windowsazure.Configuration;
import com.microsoft.windowsazure.core.utils.KeyStoreType;
import com.microsoft.windowsazure.exception.ServiceException;
import com.microsoft.windowsazure.management.configuration.ManagementConfiguration;

I couldnt find anything online to state where these classes have gone to - whether they have been deprecated or more to another lib

If anyone has any idea what classes I should instead or what libs they may have moved to- that would be great Or if anyone can suggest any improvements to the above code for starting a server that would be much appreciated

Thanks Damien

Answer 1

I tried to reproduce the issue, I got the error Failed to read artifact descriptor for com.microsoft.azure:azure-svc-mgmt...jar:0.9.0 .

It seems that the issue is caused by the maven repository for downloading the dependencies of the version 0.9.1 of Microsoft Azure SDK for Management.

I suggest you can use the version 0.9.0 for the present.

If you have to use the version 0.9.1 , you can add the complete maven list for the libraries and their dependencies manually in the pom.xml file, or you can download & add all library files into the project classpath manually.

go to http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=690320&clcid=0x409 , download the file 'PackageForAzureLibrariesForJava.zip' and put these jar files to your project build path or add dependency in pom file if you are using maven. I have tested this in my local. It works.
