I´m very "dummy" about gitlab , my question my sound stupid ... but where it goes ..
I would like to connect to a gitlab repo using java , the idea is just to retrieve the list of "entry´s" of the repository
I have seem some java code, but I´m not sure what will the url the send to "connect" method .
using the web browser the url is something like this https://gitlab.zzz.com/
example :
public static GitlabSession connect(String hostUrl, String username, String password) throws IOException {
String tailUrl = GitlabSession.URL;
GitlabAPI api = connect(**hostUrl**, null, null, null);
return api.dispatch().with("login", username).with("password", password)
.to(tailUrl, GitlabSession.class);
}
Also, I only have the user and password .. no oauth token .. is possible to connect without the token ?
I sorry for my dummy questions, may some of you can give some tips how to start.
Thank you Roque

I was able to connect to gitlab using following Java gitlab API.For this, you need to Allow firewall.
@RestController
@RequestMapping("/test")`enter code here`
public class GitlabController {
@RequestMapping("/hello")
public String getGitData() throws GitLabApiException {
System.out.println("going to execute gitlab api..");
GitLabApi gitLabApi = GitLabApi.login("https://gitlab.<domain>.com/", "USERNAME", "PASSWORD");
User currentUser = gitLabApi.getUserApi().getCurrentUser();
System.out.println(currentUser.getUsername());
return "returning from git Controller";
}
}

You could use GitLab4J (https://github.com/gmessner/gitlab4j-api) to do this. It allows you to connect with a username and password and internally handles the returned session token.
// Create a GitLabApi instance to communicate with your GitLab server
GitLabApi gitLabApi = GitLabApi.login("http://your.gitlab.server.com", "USERNAME", "PASSWORD");
// Get the list of projects your account has access to
List<Project> projects = gitLabApi.getProjectApi().getProjects();

Proper way to get data from Gitlab is through Gitlab API (https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/api/README.html). According to documentation you get token first using your username and password. Further you use this token to access other resources
