When to use Enterprise /Partner / Apex WSDL

Hello All, 

 

Can anyone please tell me

When to use Enterprise WSDL  ?

When to use  Partner WSDL ?

When to use Apex WSDL ?

 

1. Enterprise WSDL : as per me , if u give some read only information to endpoint system, tat system must consume our E-WSDL and getting all the information ?

later if u have any change in schema whether  we need to update the WSDL as well as End point system too ?

 

2. Partner WSDL : its fully dynamic, Endpoint system will provide the object and fieldname as parameter then they will get all info. 

if u have any change in schema , seems no need to update WSDL and end point system too ?

 

3 . APEX WSDL ? When to use ? , What purpose ? Why we need to use this ? 

 

 

Thanks,

Vinoth

If you want to add/delete/update your data outside Salesforce, chose Enterprise WSDL or Partner WSDL.

If you use Enterprise WSDL, when you create a custom object or add a custom field, you need to redownload and redeploy the Enterprise WSDL.

If you want to execute Apex class, test class,... just like what the Eclipse IDE, use Apex WSDL.
