Getting started

Prerequisites

A Java Development Kit (JDK), version 8 or later.
Azure Subscription
An existing Azure Purview account.

For more information about creating the account, see here.

Include the Package

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.azure</groupId>

Authenticate the client

In order to interact with the Azure Purview service, your client must present an Azure Active Directory bearer token to the service.

The simplest way of providing a bearer token is to use the DefaultAzureCredential authentication method by providing client secret credentials is being used in this getting started section but you can find more ways to authenticate with azure-identity.

Create GlossaryBaseClient with Azure Active Directory Credential

You can authenticate with Azure Active Directory using the Azure Identity library.

To use the DefaultAzureCredential provider shown below, or other credential providers provided with the Azure SDK, please include the azure-identity package:

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.azure</groupId>
    <artifactId>azure-identity</artifactId>
    <version>1.3.6</version>
</dependency>

Set the values of the client ID, tenant ID, and client secret of the AAD application as environment variables: AZURE_CLIENT_ID, AZURE_TENANT_ID, AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET.

Example

GlossaryClient client = new GlossaryClientBuilder()
    .endpoint(System.getenv("<account-name>.purview.azure.com"))
    .credential(new DefaultAzureCredentialBuilder().build())
    .buildClient();

Troubleshooting

Enabling Logging

Azure SDKs for Java offer a consistent logging story to help aid in troubleshooting application errors and expedite their resolution. The logs produced will capture the flow of an application before reaching the terminal state to help locate the root issue. View the logging wiki for guidance about enabling logging.
