Java Sample 1:
Requesting an Air Availability

package com.galileo.GWSGettingStarted;

import java.io.IOException;

import java.io.StringReader;

import java.text.MessageFormat;

import java.util.Calendar;

import javax.xml.parsers.ParserConfigurationException;

import org.w3c.dom.Element;

import org.xml.sax.SAXException;

import com.galileo.webservices.XmlSelectLocator;

import com.galileo.webservices.XmlSelectSoapStub;

Declares the XWSController class, which manages the XML Select Web Service request.

public class XWSController {

public XWSController() {}

public static void main(String[] args)

{

try {

XWSController xwc = new XWSController();

xwc.doAvail(CreateRequest(), CreateFilter());

} catch (ParserConfigurationException e) {

e.printStackTrace();

} catch (SAXException e) {

e.printStackTrace();

} catch (IOException e) {

e.printStackTrace();

}

}

public Element doAvail(Element request, Element filter)

{

XmlSelectLocator xservice = new XmlSelectLocator();

Element response = null;

Uses the Web Service to get a stub that implements the SDI.

try {

xws = (XmlSelectSoapStub)xservice.getXmlSelectSoap
(new java.net.URL(XWS_ENDPOINT));

The User Name and Password to access Galileo Web Services.

xws.setUsername(USER_NAME);

xws.setPassword(PASSWORD);

Submits the request using the SubmitXML method.

A Host Access Profile is required to access Galileo Web Services.

response = xws.submitXml(APOLLO_HAP, request, filter);

}

Exception handling.

catch (Exception e)

{

System.err.println(e.getMessage());

e.printStackTrace(System.err);

}

return response;

}

Builds a default filter that returns all available data.

public static Element CreateFilter()
throws ParserConfigurationException, SAXException, IOException

{

A wildcard filter returns all data.

return string2Element("<_/>");

}

public static Element CreateRequest()
throws ParserConfigurationException, SAXException, IOException

{

Creates a new Date class.

Calendar tomorrow = Calendar.getInstance();

Finds the date in +90 days.

tomorrow.add(Calendar.DATE,90);

String departDate = MessageFormat.format
("{0,date,yyyyMMdd}", new Object []
{tomorrow.getTime()});

XML Select AirAvailability_6_2 transaction. See the AirAvailability_6_2 Sample Request for complete request parameters.

String req = "<AirAvailability_6_5>\r\n";

Air availability request.

req += "    <AirAvailMods>\r\n";

General air availability.

req += "        <GenAvail>\r\n";

Number of seats.

req += "            <NumSeats>1</NumSeats>\r\n";

Preferred class of service. If no specific class of service is requested, a CDATA structure is used to force a blank. The CRS will not process a zero value for this element.

req += "            <Class><![CDATA[ ]]></Class>\r\n";

Departure date for the flight segment. The CRS processes dates in a yyyyMMdd format.

req += "            <StartDt>" + departDate + "</StartDt>\r\n";

Departure airport or city. Metro codes can be denoted with an asterisk, e.g., LAX*.

req += "            <StartPt>DEN</StartPt>\r\n";

Destination airport or city.

req += "            <EndPt>ORD</EndPt>\r\n";

Departure time at noon in a 24-hour clock, HHMM.  
Blank for CRS default.

req += "            <StartTm>1200</StartTm>\r\n";

Time Window Indicator specifies if a time window applies to a D (departure time/date) or A (arrival time/date).

req += "            <TmWndInd>D</TmWndInd>\r\n";

Start and End Time of Departure/Arrival Window. Values in a 24-hour clock, HHMM.
Blank if not used.

req += "            <StartTmWnd>0800</StartTmWnd>\r\n";

req += "            <EndTmWnd>1400</EndTmWnd>\r\n";

Flight type preference.
Blank if no preference.

req += "            <FltTypeInd></FltTypeInd>\r\n";

Start point indicator.
Specifies the allowed departure airports.
B (Select the specified airport first, then expand to other airports in a multi-airport city.)
Blank (Use CRS default.)

req += "            <StartPtInd></StartPtInd>\r\n";

End point indicator.
B (Destination as entered, either city or airport. This option expands airports to cities, giving preference to specified airport. For example, LAX would be processed as an airport.)
Blank (Default to B.)

req += "            <EndPtInd></EndPtInd>\r\n";

Ignore TravelScreen preferences.
Y (Ignore TS preferences)
N (Do not ignore TS preferences)
Blank (Default to N)

req += "            <IgnoreTSPref></IgnoreTSPref>\r\n";

End general availability.

req += "        </GenAvail>\r\n";

End availability request.

req += "    </AirAvailMods>\r\n";

End XML Select transaction.

req += "</AirAvailability_6_5>\r\n";

Returns the response data as an XML element.

return string2Element(req);

}

private static Element string2Element(String s)
throws ParserConfigurationException, SAXException, IOException

{

return org.apache.axis.utils.XMLUtils.newDocument
(new org.xml.sax.InputSource(new StringReader(s))).getDocumentElement();

}

Declares the constants.

private XmlSelectSoapStub xws;

private final String XWS_ENDPOINT = "https://americas.copy-webservices.travelport.com/B2BGateway/service/XMLSelect";

private final String PASSWORD = "given_password";

private final String USER_NAME = "given_USERNAME";
