The result of this procedure is the provision of an “access token”. This token is passed to our servlet using the HTTP GET method. The servlet application is now able to have access to all features provided by the Facebook Graph API.
As you can see in the following figure, we tested our web application by checking-in some friends in Athens Greece. This feature will be embedded to our application so people to be able to inform their friends about a movie they watched, the place and their comments they have.
