Provides java support for the Real Estate Transaction Standard.
This project is a continuation of the CART RETS client. While no releases have been prepared for cart for some time, it has been continually maintained via it's HEAD branch. The HEAD branch was ported into this project.
It is currently in use with ALL major MLS vendors and many minor ones. It also currently connects well with the Avantia Reference implementation and the Variman RETS server.
Quick Start Guide:
RetsSession session = new RetsSession("http://retsserver.com/loginurl");
// login
session.login("username","password");
// metadata (simple default to standard xml)
session.getMetadata();
// metadata request
GetMetadataRequest request = new GetMetadataRequest("SYSTEM", "*");
this.format.setMetadataResultFormat(request);
MetaObject[] metadata = session.getMetadata(request).getMetadata();
if(metadata.length != 1 || !(metadata[0] instanceof MSystem))
throw new IllegalArgumentException("1 MetaObject of type MSystem was expected.");
MSystem system = (MSystem) metadata[0];
Metadata metadata = new Metadata(system);
// search
session.search(new SearchRequest("Property","Residential","(ListingStatus=|A)"));
// getobject MAIN
Iterator<SingleObjectResponse> single = session.getObject("Property", "Photo", "MLNUM-10009", "0").iterator();
// getobject ALL
Iterator<SingleObjectResponse> many = session.getObject("Property", "Photo", "MLNUM-10009", "*").iterator();
