Membership Service Tutorial 1 - Creating a Group

In order to create a Membership Group we must first contact the Membership service and try to call 'createGroup' on it.First, define the location of the Membership Service

private static String MEMBERSHIP_SERVICE_ENDPOINT = "https://hostname:8443/gria-client-mgt/services/MembershipService";

Declare a new state repoitory

StateRepository repository = new MemoryStateRepository();		

Create a proxy to the membership service

RemoteMembershipService membershipService = 
	repository.getOrCreateObject(RemoteMembershipService.class, ConversationID.getEPR(MEMBERSHIP_SERVICE_ENDPOINT));

Try to call 'createGroup' on the membership service

MembershipGroupConversation group = membershipService.createGroup("My Group");

System.out.println(group.getEndpointRef());
