It's not clicking how one is supposed to connect to a hosted Cloudant database using Ektorp. I'm using Ektorp 1.1 in Eclipse via the new m2eclipse Maven integration (which is pretty sweet). I'm struggling to find good CouchDB/Cloudant/Ektorp documentation other than javadocs.
I'm trying to get the sample Ektorp API example from their main page to work:
HttpClient httpClient = new StdHttpClient.Builder()
.host("localhost")
.port(5984)
.build();
CouchDbInstance dbInstance = new StdCouchDbInstance(httpClient);
CouchDbConnector db = new StdCouchDbConnector("mydatabase", dbInstance);
db.createDatabaseIfNotExists();
It doesn't matter what I use to build the httpClient with, I always get the UnknownHostException error below. I've tried these URLs for the host: https/http://cloudant.com/db/_session and https/http://[username].cloudant.com
What about the port number? Should the username and password be included in the StdHttpClient.Builder()?
Here's the full error - it's failing on the createDatabaseIfNotExists() call but I'm not confident the CouchDbConnector variable is correct.
