After creating the three layers around the ApiClient, Api interface and RealTimeManager these are combined in the @SpringBootApplication RealTimeClient.

run RealTimeClient CLI

The traccar-rt-client does not provide any webservices. It is a plain command line interface (CLI) to connect to a traccar server from the command line and read what’s going on.

@SpringBootApplication
public class RealTimeClient implements CommandLineRunner

Therefor it is a solid building block for real time applications. You can integrate it in your application and code against the RealTimeManager as if it was the traccar server.

pick up the traccar-rt-client-6.10.0-RC.jar

put it in /someFolder/traccar-rt-client-6.10.0-RC.jar

(release url)

copy app.props

enter credentials

run java, mvn spring:run ..

start your traccar client or your tracker connected to traccar

watch the console over the map

If you don’t have a traccar server you can sign up at one of traccar’s demo servers.

RealTimeClient is a Spring Boot application that:

  • Starts RealTimeController on launch.

  • Reads admin credentials from application.properties.

  • Logs in as the admin user when starting.

  • Remains running until manually shutdown (e.g., Ctrl+C), and supports graceful shutdown.

    modify RealTimeClient to a @SpringBootApplication that starts the RealTimeController
and log in as traccar.admin.name as provided in the application.properties and can be gracefully shutdown manually
    You can run the application as usual (e.g., with mvn spring-boot:run or java -jar),
and it will log in and initialize the real-time controller using the configured admin credentials.
