Erik Forsberg update API problem
I'm getting a weird error doing a partner API update call. This is what I send and receive.
SOAP message sent:
http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"

soapenv:Server.userException
org.xml.sax.SAXException: Could not find deserializer for field: WhatId of type {urn:enterprise.soap.sforce.com}ID
If I leave out the WhatId field in the update message, the update is successful.
Any idea ?
Hmm, how can I get the XML tags to show here ??????
OK, I replaced the XML tags with () so we can see what I wanted to send.

Hi Erik,
There is definitely a namespace problem, but I'm having trouble identifying it. Here is a message that works, maybe you can figure out the difference. The things that stands out for me is the SessionHeader namespace "SoapService" and the namespace mentioned in the fault return "urn.enterprise.soap.sforce.com". Are you sending the request to a url that ends in "/services/Soap/u/2.5"?
Yes, all POSTs are done to the Soap/U/2.5 address.
We only use the partner API so I also wondered about that enterprise urn.
Hmm, cant see your example of a "working" message ??
Yes, I know, and my failing example is virtually identical to the documentation example.
And the error is field-specific, it is only the WhatId field that causes a problem, if I
dont try to modify the WhatId field it works fine.

Hi Erik,
On further review, the type of the object for update should be a child element of the <sObject> tag. Having the type in the attribute of the <sObject> tag is indicative of the way the enterprise wsdl generated clients get serialized. In the enterprise wsdl, all the objects are subclassed from the sObject and Soap indicates this by "type-ing" the sObject with a type attribute.
In the partner wsdl, on the other hand, the sObject is never sub-class and therefore should not have the type attribute. I'm wondering if there is a mingling of the enterprise generated proxy classes and partner url and API usage happening here.
What development environment do you use?
That made sense. I'm writing my own C code for this so its not automatic to
pick up minor changes in the API. My code was based on the examples in the
API documentation, which is based on the enterprise version, so that style
was also present in my partner API version. Works fine now.
Thanks.
