This sample shows you how to use the Microsoft Azure DocumentDB service to store and access data from a Java application.

• Before you can run this sample, you must have the following prerequisites:

  • An active Azure account. If you don't have one, you can sign up for a free account. Alternatively, you can use the Azure DocumentDB Emulator for this tutorial.
  • JDK 1.7+ (Run apt-get install default-jdk if you don't have JDK)
  • Maven (Run apt-get install maven if you don't have Maven)

• Then, clone this repository using git clone git@github.com:arramac/documentdb-java-getting-started.git

• Next, substitute the endpoint and authorization key in Program.java with your DocumentDB account's values.

• From a command prompt or shell, run mvn package to compile and resolve dependencies.

• From a command prompt or shell, run mvn exec:java -D exec.mainClass=GetStarted.Program to run the application.

The code included in this sample is intended to get you quickly started with a Java application that connects to Azure DocumentDB.
