I've created a custom Web tab that appears at the end of the row of tabs.

I would like to create a link on an external site to SalesForce.com that brings the person directly to that tab (after sending them through the login page, of course), rather than to the Home tab.

Is this possible?

Beyond this, what I'd really like to do is to be able to pass in request parameters to the external web application that that's being displayed in that custom tab.

Thanks.

I'm getting a timeout on this command: binding.getUserInfo(), and it's not clear to me why.

The underlying problem is at the socketConnect() method, called in the doConnect() method of PlainSocketImpl.java  The address it's trying to connect to is this:  na3.salesforce.com/204.14.234.83.  This is the address sent along by the custom tab, a result of this code in my custom tab:

 http://shelly.outstart.com/pe/salesforcesso.jsp?session={!API.Session_ID}&server={!API.Partner_Server_URL_80}

The code is here:
Code:

 SforceServiceLocator serviceLocator = new SforceServiceLocator();
 SoapBindingStub binding = new SoapBindingStub();
 SessionHeader sh = new SessionHeader();
 sh.setSessionId(sessionId);
 String ns = serviceLocator.getServiceName().getNamespaceURI();
 binding.setHeader(ns, "SessionHeader", sh);
 binding._setProperty(SoapBindingStub.ENDPOINT_ADDRESS_PROPERTY, uri.toString());
 GetUserInfoResult userInfo = binding.getUserInfo()

Context:  I'm running the developer edition of SalesForce, trying to use the official SSO method described on site.   I've implemented the code in java / JSP.  We are behind a proxy server, but I haven't had any trouble connecting to https://na3.salesforce.com/015/o.  I can ping na3.salesforce.com just fine.  My local application is *not* using SSL currently, though it will  eventually.

Thanks for any advice!

I'm trying to implement some SSO code using code on my local application, following the approach suggested here:  https://wiki.apexdevnet.com/index.php/Single_Sign_On_and_the_Apex_API

I've downloaded the quickstart.zip file from the dev site, and am using the quickstart.jar file that was in that.  This jar file contains com.sforce.soap.enterprise.SforceServiceLocator class and others classes that I need to do this.  I'm currently testing this in a JSP page (probably not relevant), where it compiles fine. 

But when I deploy my application (using Jboss), and access the JSP from my SalesForce custom tab, I see the following errors in my console:

bad class file: C:\projects\devtools\jboss-3.2.6\server\pe\lib\quickstart.jar(com/sforce/soap/enterprise/SforceServiceLocator.class)
class file has wrong version 49.0, should be 48.0
Please remove or make sure it appears in the correct subdirectory of the classpath.

I expect this means I should be using a different jar file - but I'm not sure which one.

Thanks for any advice.
