 + API_KEY + “&v=1.0″

}

(OR)

Note: The above code will execute only once. We should note down the above session key, This will be used to auto login into the application.

If you don’t save these session key values you should generate other token key to create one time session key.

We can use the token only once.

Step4: Setting Permission for wall

Giving Permission to your application to publish on facebook wall. To give permission just replace the your API key in below URL and execute in browser.

http://www.facebook.com/login.php?api_key=APIKEYXxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx&connect_display=popup&v=1.0&next=http://www.facebook.com/connect/login_success.html&cancel_url=http://www.facebook.com/connect/login_failure.html&fbconnect=true&return_session=true&req_perms=read_stream,publish_stream,offline_access

Then you must see the below 3 Screens

If you don’t see the below then your call back URL or Canvas URL must be incorrect, please check again your application settings and execute the URL again.

Then on final page, you will see a success message.  That’s it you have given permission for read_stream,publish_stream and offline_access.

Step5: Publishing the message on Facebook Wall

Java Code to create facebook object with onetime session key and publishing the message on Facebook Wall.

import org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpClient;
import org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpState;
import org.apache.commons.httpclient.NameValuePair;
import org.apache.commons.httpclient.methods.GetMethod;
import org.apache.commons.httpclient.methods.PostMethod;
import org.apache.commons.httpclient.params.HttpClientParams;

import com.google.code.facebookapi.Attachment;
import com.google.code.facebookapi.AttachmentMediaImage;

import com.google.code.facebookapi.FacebookJsonRestClient;
import com.google.code.facebookapi.FeedFacebookPhoto;
import com.google.code.facebookapi.Permission;
import com.google.code.facebookapi.TemplatizedAction;

public class SendtoFacebook {

	public static void main (String a[]) throws FacebookException{ 

	SendtoFacebook sfb=new SendtoFacebook();
	sfb.send("From My App: publish steven on facebook");
	}
	public void send(String message)throws FacebookException{

		String FB_APP_API_KEY = new String("YOUR_APIKEY");
		String FB_APP_SECRET = new String("YOUR_SECRET");
		String FB_SESSION_KEY = new String("YOUR_ONETIMESESSIONKEY");
		FacebookJsonRestClient facebook = new FacebookJsonRestClient( FB_APP_API_KEY, FB_APP_SECRET, FB_SESSION_KEY );

		//FacebookJsonRestClient facebookClient2 = (FacebookJsonRestClient)facebook.getFacebookRestClient();
		FacebookJsonRestClient facebookClient = (FacebookJsonRestClient)facebook;
facebookClient.stream_publish(message, null, null, null, null);

			System.out.println("successfully updated");
