Hi all,

I am trying to simply authenticate against the salesforce development server using the sample code provided in the web services API PDF, and am not having much luck. I am using version 2.5 of the API, and the code I am using looks like:

    String loginURL = "http://aspen.salesforce.com/services/Soap/c/2.5";
    SoapBindingStub sfdc = 
        (SoapBindingStub)new SforceServiceLocator().getSoap(new URL(loginURL));
    ... get username and password (un/pw ivars) ...
    LoginResult loginResult = sfdc.login(un, pw);

The execution fails on the sfdc.login() call, with the following fault detail:

    {urn:fault.enterprise.soap.sforce.com}fault:
    INVALID_SESSION_ID
    Invalid Session ID found in SessionHeader

This seems pretty strange to me, as I figured you would not need a session ID to authenticate initially, but instead would pull the session ID from the LoginResult object following a successful authentication. Indeed, it looks as though this is what the Java code is doing. However, I'm getting hoarked up even before that point.

I suspect that I'm missing something very small here. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance,
Adam Rice

Hi,

   Im new to sforce and webservices, Im trying out java sample provided by sforce. What I can see in the folders is only java files, I could not find any wsdl file. So, Can anybody tell me, where can I find wsdl file?

Thanks,

Hello,

I am having some difficulty using the 'session_id' returned by the login Response using Python 2.3.  Prior to this version of Python, xmlrpclib would always fail because it wasn't able to deal with Boolean types.  I am quite new to XMLRPC, so please forgive me if the question is ignorant.

Here's the, quite simple, code I am using:

----------

import xmlrpclib

loginServer = xmlrpclib.Server("https://www.salesforce.com/servlet/servlet.Api")
loginParams = {'version':'2.0',
               'username':'covenantr@yahoo.com',
               'password':'luvPilar',
               'secure':True
               }

loginResponse = loginServer.sfdc.login(loginParams)

print loginResponse

transactionServer = xmlrpclib.Server( loginResponse['server_url'] )

logoutParams = {'version':'2.0',
                'session_id':loginResponse['session_id']
                }

logoutResponse = transactionServer.sfdc.logout(logoutParams)

----------

Here's what I get as output:

--------

$ python scripts/sforceXMLRPC.py
{'userID': '00530000000c4BV', 'server_url': 'https://na1-api.salesforce.com/serv
let/servlet.Api', 'session_id': 'rZVyAYxJHzioUs1Tx5x9CeWp5QeKVIIPcwDAUguWiqV9vYt
04QqF5QemGXwg.IDWkWByTFHyy2rvJ4CmaYRpUfbtzKggVlhL'}
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "scripts/sforceXMLRPC.py", line 43, in ?
    logoutResponse = transactionServer.sfdc.logout(logoutParams)
  File "c:\Python23\lib\xmlrpclib.py", line 1029, in __call__
    return self.__send(self.__name, args)
  File "c:\Python23\lib\xmlrpclib.py", line 1316, in __request
    verbose=self.__verbose
  File "c:\Python23\lib\xmlrpclib.py", line 1080, in request
    return self._parse_response(h.getfile(), sock)
  File "c:\Python23\lib\xmlrpclib.py", line 1219, in _parse_response
    return u.close()
  File "c:\Python23\lib\xmlrpclib.py", line 742, in close
    raise Fault(**self._stack[0])
xmlrpclib.Fault: <Fault 1112: 'session ID missing or invalid'>

-----------

As you can see, the loginResponse dictionary looks correct.  I "think" I'm doing the correct thing by creating a new server instance for the remaining transactions, while grabbing the 'session_id' and other parameters from the login Response.

Any hints, ideas, or help into why this is failing would be great!!

Thanks and Best Regards,
