myApplicationID(AdpConstants.ADP_DEBUG_APPLICATIONID);
/// Note: replace AdpConstants.ADP_DEBUG_APPLICATIONID with the actual
application ID
int main(int argc, char** argv) {
Application * myApplication = NULL;
try {
myApplication = new Application(myApplicationID);
} catch (AdpException& e) {
// Validation failed
cout << "Caught exception in application: " << e.what() << endl;
}
}
