very nice, and really helpful.
A very functional Application found at Facebook. It was created by CNET Networks.

Wicked, can we have some more like this. Maybe showing how to send application to friends, or giving examples like the zombie application
It's just wonderful. I've followed this and made a simple application successfully. Thanks
Thank you. That was very helpful. It was a great facebook and eclipse lesson.
In the last example, the code that displays the number of friends for the logged in user is incorrect. Check out tip #4 on this site to correct it:

Very Nice - keep em coming - would like a demo showing how to create all the different components of a facebook app with java!
This is a great tutorial. It has everything to start with. Near future please do the same for struts application. I am also planning to be beside you soon.
Thanks & Regards,
Md. Afzalur Rashid
very nice application check my blog for struts http://blog.strutsland.info
Awesome tutorial. The Struts idea is a good one or if you could give an example of a Facebook app that runs right in Facebook
Dear Friends,

Thanks& Regards,

You can try with eatj.com.
They provide you free java hosting and a MySql instance to do some initial testing.
This is a great jumpstart.
IMHO, there should be a link to this in Facebook developer Resources.
Thanks
Kudos for your great work....Really this is great screencast... I was looking for it. It will be very helpful if you can send more functional application to me or can post somewhere. Please update me (amitpagrawal@gmail.com) .
Thanks & Regards

Thanks! Another Facebook screencast is in pipeline. Stay tuned!
I was getting a problem because of the version number, not really sure why.
I got the error message "invalid API Key" so i changed the last line to...
response.sendRedirect("http://www.facebook.com/login.php?api_key=" + apiKey);
(but i wouldn't trust me because i still haven't got it working...!)
I keep getting an javax.servlet.ServletException: org/apache/commons/el/ExpressionEvaluatorImpl exception from the line:
request.getRequestDispatcher("info.jsp").forward(request, response);
anyone got any ideas why?
cheers
Excellent stuff. Well done.
I would love to see a more functional example of implementing Facebook components, e.g. invite friends etc.
This would be extremely beneficial to those starting out.
Good stuff... thanks
Great work. Facebook itself is extremely limited in its documentation.
An interesting open source project to wrap the Facebook API to a more meanigful one is at http://code.google.com/p/facebook-java-api/
Excellent work! Thanks a lot!
Great tutorial.
Thanks!
Hi Guys i am trying out this example.
facebookRestClient = new FacebookRestClient(apiKey, secretKey, sessionKey);
i am getting an error
"cannot instantiate the type FacebookRestClient" for the above instantiation statement.
can somebody help me on this.
Thanks
Its very good tutorial.
Hi
facebookRestClient has to be replaced with facebookXmlRestClient otherwise it will show an error message "facebookRestClient cannot be instantiated".
Thanks a lot, I was finally able to get started using the Facebook platform thanks to these great tutorial.
Keep up the good work.
