Good paper for starting guys.

If talk about how to configure J2EE server with Spring or Jboss, or tomcat , that is perfect.

Welcome to talk about how to develop FB app.

“Create the various servlets on your server (callback, postadd, and canvas) and make each of them return basic HTML that just says “callback servlet”, “postadd servlet”, or “canvas servlet”).”

But there is no “canvas servlet”, or is there?
Isn’t the content for the App delivered in the response to the callback url?

Hello Adam,

Thank you for your nice tutorial!

Besides I have one question:

has somebody experiences with using Java Server Faces to build facebook
applications? Could there be any difficulties, if component libraries such as Trinidad or Rich Faces are used?

Thanks,

Daniel

Adam, I’ve got a quick question….

I’m using Spring as my MVC for this facebook implementation. I’m having a hard time getting the authentication to work. I have as a jump-off a simple jsp page that forwards to the initial action (controller).

Any thoughts as to why is always null? Even when I call if from app.facebook.com.

Any light you could shed on this would be EXTREMELY appreciated!

Cheers and keep up the awesome work!

Josh

I forgot to mention, the current application is hosted at “http://www.mslide.net/Facebook_Mobileslide/” or in facebook “http://apps.facebook.com/mobileslide”

Thanks,
Clement

Hi there,
It is an excellent document. It is how I started my Facebook application and it is up and running in 3 weeks. Thanks so much for your detail document and the suggestions.
I hit a road block at this time. Facebook disable notification.sendrequest function on their API and force us to use (http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/index.php/Notifications.sendRequest).
I develop everything in iFrame using JSP.

My question is if there is a way to do this without using FBML? If I have to use FBML, what should I do to start using the FBML? My current error is :
“The URL http://localhost:8084/Facebook_Mobileslide/callback.jsp is not valid.”
Thanks,
Clement

Which java/j2ee hosting service do you use to write/test/debug these apps?
