I am trying to create a connection in Arango databse using Java , IDE- Eclipse but while executing the program I am getting the exception “Unauthorized”.
Note: I have logged in to Arango Database with user :root URL- http://127.0.0.1:8529/_db/_system/_admin/aardvark/index.html#logs
Program in Eclipse
import static com.arangodb.*;
public class FirstProject {
public static void main(String[] args) {
ArangoConfigure configure = new ArangoConfigure();
configure.init();
ArangoDriver arangoDriver = new ArangoDriver(configure);
String dbName = "mydb";
try {
arangoDriver.createDatabase(dbName);
System.out.println("Database created: " + dbName);
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("Failed to create database " + dbName + "; " + e.getMessage());
}
}
}
I have used the tutorial https://www.arangodb.com/tutorials/tutorial-java-old/ to write this program and followed all the steps mentioned. Still getting unauthorized exception:
Failed to create database mydb; Unauthorized
Answer
You have to set the user and password (default user “root”, password empty):
ArangoConfigure configure = new ArangoConfigure();
configure.init();
configure.setUser("root");
configure.setPassword("");
ArangoDriver arangoDriver = new ArangoDriver(configure);
In addition I highly suggest you to update to the new java driver (version 4.1.12). Which comes with a new API and a better performance). There is also a tutorial for it (see here).
The required code for your problem in this version would be:
ArangoDB arangoDB = ArangoDB.Builder().user("root").password("").build();
