Need help on Hyperic API, how to get a list of alerts?

[grqiu]

I am new to Java and using Netbeans IDE 7.1.2, need to retrieve alerts based on time interval.

I added hqapi1-4.2.0.jar to the libraries of my Application project. I also added it as web service..

code:

package gethqalerts;

import java.io.IOException;

import org.hyperic.hq.hqapi1.HQApi;

import org.hyperic.hq.hqapi1.AlertApi;

import org.hyperic.hq.hqapi1.types.Alert;

import org.hyperic.hq.hqapi1.types.AlertsResponse;

import org.hyperic.hq.hqapi1.types.Response;

import org.hyperic.hq.hqapi1.types.ResponseStatus;

public class GetHQAlerts {

    /**

     * @param args the command line arguments

     */

    public static void main(String[] args) {

            HQApi api = new HQApi("10.2.3.7", 7080, false, "hqadmin", "hqadmin");

            try

            {

                AlertApi alertapi = api.getAlertApi();

                AlertsResponse alertRes = alertapi.findAlerts(1336713917, 1337713917, 1, 3, true, false);

                System.out.println("result is " + alertRes.getAlert().get(0).getName());

            }

            catch (IOException err)

            {

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

            }       

    }

When trying to test and run, i got this error:

run:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/commons/httpclient/Credentials

at org.hyperic.hq.hqapi1.HQApi.<init>(HQApi.java:65)

at gethqalerts.GetHQAlerts.main(GetHQAlerts.java:25)

Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.commons.httpclient.Credentials

My Goal was to :

to export alerts into a database so that we can merge with other alerts from other systems. Perhaps there's a better/faster way???

any help would be appreciated.

thanks
