Using vosao with Android - java

I am in a bit of a pickle, I need to use vosao with an Android application but I have no idea how to authenticate and use it, I have got the JSON-RPC part working by telling me if the username and password is correct but I don't know what to do from here
Vosao is a CMS for Google App Engine.

To get round this I used JSON to parse the response from the web server, then with the same HttpClient I did all my other requests :)

Custom JWT based authentication for Google App Engine using Java

I am using Google App Engine with Java.
I would like to know, how to integrate custom JWT based authentication in Google App Engine.
I have seen https://developers.google.com/identity/choose-auth but I dont want the users connected with Google Account. I also want the users to sign in without an email address, but a username.
I searched on the internet but everywhere I looked, it is talking about the Google based authentication.
Thanks in advance.
It seems at the moment, there is no library available for doing this.
Also I was unable to find any documentation to do this.
Here is how I implemented it.
The client passes JWT in the Authorization header.
At the API endpoint (not in Filter, it wont work), I extracted the header and validated the JWT. I throws Exceptions from the validation function itself, so that I don't have to repeat a lot of code.

How can I put in security so that my server only accepts requests coming from my app

I have an app and a server side service which my app communicates with with JSON.
I need to impliment security so that if someone gets hold of the urls they will only be able to just call them.
I know i need to use Oauth2 but I don't know how to exactly.
I have read this and it seems to be what I want but it's using google accounts.
Can anyone give me an example or steps I must take to make sure only my app is able to get a response from my server?
You can add accesstoken for each http request.It can be just a string.
As you know, if you want to use oauth/oauth2, you should implement your oauth server. And if you really want to do so, you could find some opensource project. But in a simple way, just add a app code(like the accesstoken, anything just used to identify your app) manually to each http request. in this way, if others know your app code, they are also able to send request to your server.

js- can i authenticate a user into my app using OAuth with only javascript->clientside, and js/java->server side?

I want to use OAuth in one of my apps, specifically a Google Chrome extension. Can it be done through JavaScript code? My only requirement is that it should be done with client side Javascript code, and the server can use either JavaScript or Java.
If this cannot be done, then can I use simple userid-password authentication?
Again, my only requirement is that it should be done with client side Javascript code, and the server can use either javascript or java.
You can definitely use OAuth in a Google Chrome extension, although bear in mind that your application keys and secrets will be readable in the bundle.
For more information: http://code.google.com/chrome/extensions/tut_oauth.html (the example uses one of Google's API enpoints but you could use any OAuth1.0a provider). Since you are interested in doing a Chrome extension you will not be affected by the normal hassle of request origin (cross site scripting) restrictions.
You can use "normal" userid and password authorization as well of course (especially over SSL/HTTPS). If you plan on going public with the APIs then I would recommend OAuth though.
JavaScript is pure client side scripting language. It cant be used in server side.
Second, If you want your client get authenticated there must be a server side program to do so.

using sardine for accessing a sharepoint website from a java application

SardineFactory.begin(username, password);
sardine.exists("http://mydomain.sharepoint.com/TeamSite/Documents");
I thought sardine can login auto but it returns 403 error.
I didn't use sardine and SharePoint Online before.
Remote Authentication in SharePoint Online Using Claims-Based Authentication
I know i should do something else but don't know how.
Anyone can help me?
The SharePoint is most likely using Claims-Based Authentication, which is a nightmare to negotiate and authenticate through using Java.
Most solutions I've seen from others (although I have not yet seen a working demo) claim you have to use a .NET "mediator" in a non-CBA environment that your Java app can communicate with, and the "mediator" will in turn more easily get through the CBA authentication routine (keeping things within the .NET family).
Being stubborn, I am working on a pure Java solution and will post if I ever get it working.

Facebook: Getting Incorrect Signature (104) when Getting Session Key

can any one help me?
Facebook released an official SDK for Android applications. See this post on their developers blog.
You might want to try implementing the Android Facebook:Connect Library:
http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/index.php/User:Android
It's not official - but it seems fairly stable for most practical uses (allowing connecting and FQL queries, etc.)
