This method initiates a new connection with the thrift client and returns a profile object

 private TResume fetchProfileObj(int userId) {     try{         TTransport transport = new TSocket("172.XX.X.XXX”, 9311);           transport.open();         TProtocol protocol = new  TBinaryProtocol(transport);         Map<String, String> ids = new HashMap<String, String>();         ids.put("requestId", "settingsService");         TResumeService.Client resumeServiceClient = new TResumeService.Client(protocol);         TResume profileObj = resumeServiceClient.getFullActiveProfileFromUserId(ids, 105, userId, "resman5_1");         transport.close();         return profileObj;     } catch(Exception e) {         e.printStackTrace();         return null;     } } 

This method updates the profile object recieved from the fetchProfile method

private void updateProfileFlags(TResume profile,int recruiterJobAlert) {     try{         TTransport transport = new TSocket("172.XX.X.XXX", 9321);           transport.open();         TProtocol protocol = new  TBinaryProtocol(transport);         Map<String, String> ids = new HashMap<String, String>();         ids.put("requestId", "settingsService");         TUpdateResume.Client updateResumeClient = new TUpdateResume.Client(protocol);         profile.getUser().setResdexVisibility(recruiterJobAlert>0?"a":"c");         updateResumeClient.saveProfile(ids, 105, profile.getProfile(), "now", "resman5_1", null);         transport.close();     } catch(Exception e) {         e.printStackTrace();     } } 

Now calling the above methods

public void myTestMethod(){ updateProfileFlags(fetchProfileObj(userId),settings.getRecruiterJobAlert()); }
