pooja biswas untyped json data
Hi
I have a strange requirement.
I am getting data from an external websersive after making HttpCallout and I want to load the data into LeadObject, say Name , phone etc.
Json data contains many records.
The problem is the fields in standard Lead object and json data do not match
Json field name : fullname , myphone while in Lead object it is firstname , lastname etc
case 1: how to map these fields
case 2. If json data is like this: fullname=salesforce#cloud, so in lead object I want to have firstname=salesforce and lastname=cloud
How to handle this?
any inputs pls elaborate.
thanks

Did you write the wrapper class to receive data from external web service? If not, you can write a wrapper class and map the fields.
Thank you.
I cam write wrapper class if field names match. I hope I am right.
In this case field names are different.so how it will map?

Try this
you have to change with your custom names.
wrapper.firstname=objectInstance.fullname.substring(0,fullname.indexOf(' ')); wrapper.lasttname=objectInstance.fullname.substring(fullname.indexOf(' ')+1);I got some idea. thanks
One more point if I may ask.
I have custom webservice which comes from an external api or assume that its defined in apex controller.
In an visual force page when I click a button, How to call this webservice using javascript remoting, assuming webservice returns a parameter & also takes a parameter?
thanks

You can use Ajax Toolkit provided by Salesforce for your purpose. The AJAX Toolkit is a JavaScript wrapper around the API and can be used instead of VF and Apex.
1. Create a custom button which executes JavaScript on its click.
2. Use Ajax Toolkit to perform the operations. You can perform SOQL and DML operation in Ajax Toolkit.
