h1. Programming Guide
There are number of APIs provided by DP. All of these APIs are wrapped and exposed through a client application, [[documentation#list-of-components|dp-client]]. Refer to the following sub sections for more information.
The Javadoc of *dp-client*:

The binary or source files of *dp-client*:
> [[wiki#SCM|SCM]]
Demo application of *dp-client*:

h2. Query DP balance
Queries the available DP balance.
h3. Input Parameters
See "queryBalance":http://192.168.2.13:50000/dp_client_apidocs/com/ecosway/dp_client/DPServicesUtils.html
h3. Output Parameters
The return object, *TransactionResponse* consists of:
* *process* - Sales1
* *transactionId* - the unique reference that passed in by the caller
* *countryId* - the country ID that passed in by the caller
* *centerId* - possible value is *ONLINE*. It's used to differentiate if the caller are from POS system or online mall.
* *memberId* - the member/shopper ID
* *status* - the status of the transaction. If success, returns *0000*
** refer to document:"DP Web Services" for other possible status
* *balance* - the available DP balance
* *errorCode* - the error code of the transaction. if success, returns *00000*
** refer to document:"DP Web Services" for other possible error code
* *errorMessage* - the detailed description of the error code
** refer to document:"DP Web Services" for other possible description
h3. Code Snippet
<pre>
<code class="JAVA">
TransactionResponse dpResponse;
try {
dpResponse = DPServicesUtils.queryBalance(countryCode, shopperId);
} catch (RemoteException ex) {
// do not ignore. either log the full stack trace or handle it
LOGGER.error(ex);
}
</code>
</pre>

h2. Exception Handling Strategies
The APIs would throw the following exceptions:
* *RemoteException* - if there's any issue in communicating with the DP
* *SQLException* - if there's any issue in persisting or updating the event
* *unchecked exception* - e.g. NullPointerException. This is more like a programming errors so do not catch it for whatever reasons.
** _note: catch the *Exception* will catch both checked & unchecked exception_
The above exceptions should never be ignored, at least, the full error stack trace should be logged.
