I am trying to make a program that will neatly print all the bodies of the messages of my inbox yet exchange web services is making it difficult. I seem to have easy access to everything except the body of the message. This is what I'm doing right now
static final int SIZE = 10;
public static void main(String [] args) throws Exception {
ExchangeService service = new ExchangeService(ExchangeVersion.Exchange2010);
ExchangeCredentials credentials = new WebCredentials("USERNAME","PASS");
service.setCredentials(credentials);
service.setUrl(new URI("https://MY_DOMAIN/ews/exchange.asmx"));
ItemView view = new ItemView (SIZE);
FindItemsResults<Item> findResults = service.findItems(WellKnownFolderName.Inbox, view);
System.out.println(findResults.getItems().size() + "Messages");
for (int i = 0; i < SIZE; ++i) {
try {
Item item = findResults.getItems().get(i);
System.out.println("SUBJECT: " + item.getSubject());
System.out.println("TO: " + item.getDisplayTo());
System.out.println("BODY: " + item.getBody().toString());
} catch (IndexOutOfBoundsException e) {
break;
}
}
Of course, I have my credentials and domain filled out fittingly for my code. When I run this I get this message though.
Exception in thread "main" microsoft.exchange.webservices.data.ServiceObjectPropertyException: You must load or assign this property before you can read its value.

at microsoft.exchange.webservices.data.Item.getBody(Unknown Source)
at Main.main(Main.java:26)
Line 26 is the line where I try to print the body. What am I doing wrong?
I've figured it out actually. It looks like ExchangeService will close the connection after it is done pulling the needed info. to fix this I made a function
private static ExchangeService getService() throws Exception {
ExchangeService service = new ExchangeService(ExchangeVersion.Exchange2010);
ExchangeCredentials credentials = new WebCredentials("USERNAME","PASS");
service.setCredentials(credentials);
service.setUrl(new URI("DOMAIN"));
return service;
}
I then call load like so
getService().loadPropertiesForItems(findResults, itempropertyset);
Where I define itempropertyset as such
PropertySet itempropertyset = new PropertySet(BasePropertySet.FirstClassProperties);
itempropertyset.setRequestedBodyType(BodyType.Text);
view.setPropertySet(itempropertyset);
