getAPIKey

public static java.lang.String getAPIKey(java.lang.String serviceName)

Returns the apiKey from the VCAP_SERVICES or null if doesn't exists.

Parameters:

serviceName - the service name

Returns:

the API key or null if the service cannot be found.

getAPIKey

public static java.lang.String getAPIKey(java.lang.String serviceName,
                         java.lang.String plan)

Returns the apiKey from the VCAP_SERVICES or null if doesn't exists. If plan is specified, then only credentials for the given plan will be returned.

Parameters:

serviceName - the service name

plan - the service plan: standard, free or experimental

Returns:

the API key

getUserNameAndPassword

public static CredentialUtils.ServiceCredentials getUserNameAndPassword(java.lang.String serviceName)

Returns the username and password as defined in the VCAP_SERVICES or null if they do not exist or are not accessible. This is a utility method for getUserNameAndPassword(String, String). Invoking this method is identical to calling getUserNameAndPassword(serviceName, null);

Parameters:
