Why am I unable to post logs using Java SDK?

[srinitest123]

I have attached below my code snippet. I am using a free developer access machine. https://prd-p-lgqtg5v8fkdb.cloud.splunk.com

I am unable to login using my credentials.

public class Splunk {
    public static void main(String args[]) throws IOException {
        HttpService.setSslSecurityProtocol(SSLSecurityProtocol.TLSv1_2);

        Map<String, Object> connectionArgs = new HashMap<String, Object>();
        connectionArgs.put("host", "input-prd-p-lgqtg5v8fkdb.cloud.splunk.com");
        connectionArgs.put("username", "test123");
        connectionArgs.put("password", "test123");
        connectionArgs.put("port", 8089);
        connectionArgs.put("scheme", "https");

        Service splunkService = Service.connect(connectionArgs); 
    }
}

Tried using a lot of ways. The curl works fine.

I've successfully used the HTTP event collector ( http://dev.splunk.com/view/event-collector/SP-CAAAE6M ) mechanism to send data to the cloud. It works using a token rather than username/password (also different port). As the HTTP event collector (HEC) is based on REST you can create a java client (with your preferred HTTP java library) that passes data to Splunk Cloud.

Example curl -

curl -X POST -d @**FILENAME** -H "Content-Type: application/json" -k https://input-**SERVER**.cloud.splunk.com:8088/services/collector/event -H "Authorization: Splunk **HEC_TOKEN**"
