SharePoint Online Connector for JAVA
In this article you will learn how to integrate Using SharePoint Online Connector you will be able to connect, read, and write data from within JAVA. Follow the steps below to see how we would accomplish that. The driver mentioned above is part of ODBC PowerPack which is a collection of high-performance Drivers for various API data source (i.e. REST API, JSON, XML, CSV, Amazon S3 and many more). Using familiar SQL query language you can make live connections and read/write data from API sources or JSON / XML / CSV Files inside SQL Server (T-SQL) or your favorite Reporting (i.e. Power BI, Tableau, Qlik, SSRS, MicroStrategy, Excel, MS Access), ETL Tools (i.e. Informatica, Talend, Pentaho, SSIS). You can also call our drivers from programming languages such as JAVA, C#, Python, PowerShell etc. If you are new to ODBC and ZappySys ODBC PowerPack then check the following links to get started. |

Create Data Source in ZappySys Data Gateway based on API Driver
-
Download and install ZappySys ODBC PowerPack.
-
Search for gateway in start menu and Open ZappySys Data Gateway:
-
Go to Users Tab to add our first Gateway user. Click Add; we will give it a name tdsuser and enter password you like to give. Check Admin option and click OK to save. We will use these details later when we create linked server:
-
Now we are ready to add a data source. Click Add, give data source a name (Copy this name somewhere, we will need it later) and then select Native - ZappySys API Driver. Finally, click OK. And it will create the Data Set for it and open the ZS driver UI.

Now it's time to configure the Connection Manager. Select Authentication Type, e.g. Token Authentication. Then select API Base URL (in most cases, the default one is the right one). More info is available in the Authentication section.
OAuth App must be created in Microsoft Azure AD. These settings typically found here https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/auth-register-app-v2. [API Help..]
Steps to get SharePoint Online Credentials
Firstly, login into Azure Portal and there create an OAuth application:
-
Login to Azure Portal:
- Navigate to the Azure Portal and log in using your credentials.
-
Access Azure Active Directory:
- In the left-hand menu, click on Azure Active Directory.
-
Register a New Application:
- Go to App registrations and click on New registration.
- Application Name: Enter a name for your application.
- Supported Account Types: Choose the account types your app will support. For example, select Accounts in this organizational directory only if you need access to data in your organization only.
- Redirect URI:
- Set the type to Web.
- In the textbox enter https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/nativeclient as the Redirect URI or any other valid redirect URL, e.g., https://zappysys.com/oauth.
- Use this Redirect URI in the Redirect URL grid row.
-
Save Client ID:
- After registering the app, copy the Application (client) ID and paste it into the Client ID field in the API Connection Manager configuration.
-
Set Authorization & Token URLs:
- Click on the Endpoints link in the App registration overview.
- Authorization URL: Copy the OAuth 2.0 authorization endpoint (v2) URL (e.g.,
https://login.microsoftonline.com/{your-tenant-id}/oauth2/v2.0/authorize
) and paste it into the Authorization URL field in the configuration grid. - Token URL: Copy the OAuth 2.0 token endpoint (v2) URL (e.g.,
https://login.microsoftonline.com/{your-tenant-id}/oauth2/v2.0/token
) and paste it into the Token URL field.
-
Create a Client Secret:
- In the Certificates & secrets tab, click New client secret.
- Set an expiration period for the secret.
- Copy the generated client secret and paste it into the Client Secret field in the API Connection Manager configuration.
-
Configure API Permissions:
- Go to the API Permissions section.
- Click on Add a permission, select Microsoft Graph, and choose Delegated Permissions.
- Add the required permissions:
- offline_access
- Files.Read
- Files.Read.All
- Files.ReadWrite
- Files.ReadWrite.All
- openid
- profile
- Sites.Read.All
- Sites.ReadWrite.All
- User.Read
- Grant Admin Consent for the permissions that require it.
-
Generate Tokens:
- Use the Generate Token feature in the API Connection Manager to generate authentication tokens.
-
Use a Generic Account for Automation:
NOTE: If you are planning to use your current data connection/token for automated processes, we recommend that you use a generic account for token generation when the login box appears (e.g. sales_automation@mycompany.com instead of bob_smith@mycompany.com). When you use a personal account which is tied to a specific employee profile and that employee leaves the company, the token may become invalid and any automated processes using that token will fail. Another potentially unwanted effect of using a personal token is incorrect logging; the API calls (e.g. Read, Edit, Delete, Upload) made with that token will record the specific user as performing the calls instead of an automated process.
- That's it!

- In Redirect URI section leave option selected at Web.
- Copy Application (client) ID and paste it into API Connection Manager configuration grid in Client ID row.
- Then click on Endpoints link and copy second, Token, URL to Token URL field in configuration grid. Usually they look similar to these:
https://login.microsoftonline.com/daed1250-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-ef0a982d3d1e/oauth2/v2.0/token https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/v2.0/token
- Close "Endpoints" and create a Client Secret by clicking Certificates & secrets.
- Proceed by clicking New client secret and setting expiration period. Copy the client secret and paste it into configuration grid in Client Secret row.
- Go to API Permissions section and add Microsoft Graph permissions for SharePoint and Drive, e.g. Sites.Selected, Sites.Read.All, Sites.ReadWrite.All, Files.Read.All, Files.ReadWrite.All.
- Finally, Grant admin consent for your domain for your permissions.
Step-2: Register OAuth App in SharePoint Admin Portal
- After we create OAuth App we need to add grant SharePoint access to that App using Admin Portal. Make sure you have admin permission to acces Portal. For detailed steps you may refer to this link. Here are basic steps you can follow.
- Log in to SharePoint Admin Portal and access below URL
(Replace YOURCOMPANY)
https://YOURCOMPANY-admin.sharepoint.com/_layouts/15/appprincipals.aspx?Scope=Web
- Enter App Id and other information
- Enter XML snippet which describes which permission you want to grant. Here is an example permission (App with FullControl / Read / Write)
<AppPermissionRequests AllowAppOnlyPolicy="true"> <AppPermissionRequest Scope="http://sharepoint/content/tenant" Right="FullControl" /> </AppPermissionRequests>
- Click Add to grant the permission. That's it!

Once the data source has been configured, you can preview data. Select the Preview tab and use settings similar to the following to preview data:
-
Click OK to finish creating the data source.
Read data in Java from the DSN
-
Java code to get the data:
"jdbc:sqlserver://localhost:5000;databasename=SharePointOnlineDSN;user=tdsuser;password=test" -
When you run the code it will make the API call and read the data:
-
Here is Java program's code in text format:
//Step-1: Install ZappySys ODBC PowerPack and Configure Data Gateway //Step-2:Assuming the Microsoft SQL Server JDBC Driver is in below folder //C:\Program Files\Microsoft Jdbc Driver 6.0 for SQL Server\sqljdbc_6.0\enu\auth\x64 package padaone; import java.sql.*; public class zappy { public static void main(String[] args) { // Create a variable for the connection string. String connectionUrl = "jdbc:sqlserver://localhost:5000;databasename=SharePointOnlineDSN;user=test;password=test"; // Declare the JDBC objects. Connection con = null; Statement stmt = null; ResultSet rs = null; try { // Establish the connection. Class.forName("com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver"); con = DriverManager.getConnection(connectionUrl); // Create and execute an SQL statement that returns some data. String SQL = "SELECT Country , SUM(UnitPrice * Quantity) Total " + "FROM value " + "GROUP BY Country " + "WITH (SRC='https://services.odata.org/V3/Northwind/Northwind.svc/Invoices?$format=json')"; stmt = con.createStatement(); rs = stmt.executeQuery(SQL); // Iterate through the data in the result set and display it. while (rs.next()) { System.out.println(rs.getString(1) + " " + rs.getString(2)); } } // Handle any errors that may have occurred. catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); } finally { if (rs != null) try { rs.close(); } catch (Exception e) {} if (stmt != null) try { stmt.close(); } catch (Exception e) {} if (con != null) try { con.close(); } catch (Exception e) {} } } }

Create Custom Stored Procedure in ZappySys Driver
You can create procedures to encapsulate custom logic and then only pass handful parameters rather than long SQL to execute your API call.
Steps to create Custom Stored Procedure in ZappySys Driver. You can insert Placeholders anywhere inside Procedure Body. Read more about placeholders here
-
Go to Custom Objects Tab and Click on Add button and Select Add Procedure:
-
Enter the desired Procedure name and click on OK:
-
Select the created Stored Procedure and write the your desired stored procedure and Save it and it will create the custom stored procedure in the ZappySys Driver:
Here is an example stored procedure for ZappySys Driver. You can insert Placeholders anywhere inside Procedure Body. Read more about placeholders here
CREATE PROCEDURE [usp_get_orders] @fromdate = '<<yyyy-MM-dd,FUN_TODAY>>' AS SELECT * FROM Orders where OrderDate >= '<@fromdate>';
-
That's it now go to Preview Tab and Execute your Stored Procedure using Exec Command. In this example it will extract the orders from the date 1996-01-01:
Exec usp_get_orders '1996-01-01';
-
Let's generate the SQL Server Query Code to make the API call using stored procedure. Go to Code Generator Tab, select language as SQL Server and click on Generate button the generate the code.
As we already created the linked server for this Data Source, in that you just need to copy the Select Query and need to use the linked server name which we have apply on the place of [MY_API_SERVICE] placeholder.
SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY([MY_API_SERVICE], 'EXEC usp_get_orders @fromdate=''1996-07-30''')
-
Now go to SQL served and execute that query and it will make the API call using stored procedure and provide you the response.
Create Custom Virtual Table in ZappySys Driver
ZappySys API Drivers support flexible Query language so you can override Default Properties you configured on Data Source such as URL, Body. This way you don't have to create multiple Data Sources if you like to read data from multiple EndPoints. However not every application support supplying custom SQL to driver so you can only select Table from list returned from driver.
If you're dealing with Microsoft Access and need to import data from an SQL query, it's important to note that Access doesn't allow direct import of SQL queries. Instead, you can create custom objects (Virtual Tables) to handle the import process.
Many applications like MS Access, Informatica Designer wont give you option to specify custom SQL when you import Objects. In such case Virtual Table is very useful. You can create many Virtual Tables on the same Data Source (e.g. If you have 50 URLs with slight variations you can create virtual tables with just URL as Parameter setting.
-
Go to Custom Objects Tab and Click on Add button and Select Add Table:
-
Enter the desired Table name and click on OK:
-
And it will open the New Query Window Click on Cancel to close that window and go to Custom Objects Tab.
-
Select the created table, Select Text Type AS SQL and write the your desired SQL Query and Save it and it will create the custom table in the ZappySys Driver:
Here is an example SQL query for ZappySys Driver. You can insert Placeholders also. Read more about placeholders here
SELECT "ShipCountry", "OrderID", "CustomerID", "EmployeeID", "OrderDate", "RequiredDate", "ShippedDate", "ShipVia", "Freight", "ShipName", "ShipAddress", "ShipCity", "ShipRegion", "ShipPostalCode" FROM "Orders" Where "ShipCountry"='USA'
-
That's it now go to Preview Tab and Execute your custom virtual table query. In this example it will extract the orders for the USA Shipping Country only:
SELECT * FROM "vt__usa_orders_only"
-
Let's generate the SQL Server Query Code to make the API call using stored procedure. Go to Code Generator Tab, select language as SQL Server and click on Generate button the generate the code.
As we already created the linked server for this Data Source, in that you just need to copy the Select Query and need to use the linked server name which we have apply on the place of [MY_API_SERVICE] placeholder.
SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY([MY_API_SERVICE], 'EXEC [usp_get_orders] ''1996-01-01''')
-
Now go to SQL served and execute that query and it will make the API call using stored procedure and provide you the response.
