MailJimp

MailChimp API for Java

About

MailJimp is a MailChimp library built in Java intended for use within Maven-enabled Spring-based applications. MailJimp was tested against version 1.3 of the MailChimp API though most of the methods will work with version 1.2. (But I really don't know why you would use it ;) The Maven part is not mandatory, of course - feel free to download the source and build yourself the library. The Spring part is also not mandatory, as long as you deploy the library in a container that understands the @PostConstruct annotation, or you manually invoke MailJimpService::init() after construction.

Runtime Info

To run the service in a Spring-based application you have to do two things:

1. Integrate the config file mailjimp-spring-config.xml in your app. It is part of the distro and can be found in the classpath.

    <import resource="classpath:mailjimp-spring-config.xml" />
   

2. Create a file called mailjimp.properties and add it to the classpath. This file is used to configure the MailChimpService and has the following entries:

    mj.username=your_username
    mj.password=your_password
    mj.apiKey=your_api_key
    mj.apiVersion=version_to_use (1.3 is the current one)
    mj.ssl=https (true|false)
   

   An example of this file can be found under /src/test/resources/mailjimp.properties which is used for the integration tests.

Test Info

If you want to run the integration tests (mailjimp.service.TestMailChimpService) and have them work properly, you need to edit the files /src/test/resources/mailjimp.properties and /src/test/resources/mailjimp-test.properties. In the later one you need to set the id of an existing list and an email address of an already subscribed user of that list.
