I am currently trying to parse an XML response, however it does not seem to want to parse whats being returned, and im not sure if its because of the complexity of the response, or if im doing something wrong.

I am using HttpRequests to send requets to our api. 

Here is the xml the API responds with:
 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
  <soap:Body>
    <getGLBranchResponse xmlns="our end point is here">
      <getGLBranchResult>
        <Branch>
          <ID>
            <Value>int</Value>
            <Valid>boolean</Valid>
          </ID>
          <Code>
            <Value>string</Value>
            <Valid>boolean</Valid>
          </Code>
        </Branch>
        <BranchName>
          <Value>string</Value>
          <Valid>boolean</Valid>
        </BranchName>
        <Customer>
          <ID>
            <Value>int</Value>
            <Valid>boolean</Valid>
          </ID>
          <Code>
            <Value>string</Value>
            <Valid>boolean</Valid>
          </Code>
        </Customer>
        <DefaultWarehouse>
          <ID>
            <Value>int</Value>
            <Valid>boolean</Valid>
          </ID>
          <Code>
            <Value>string</Value>
            <Valid>boolean</Valid>
          </Code>
        </DefaultWarehouse>
        <MainBranch>
          <Value>boolean</Value>
          <Valid>boolean</Valid>
        </MainBranch>
        <Active>
          <Value>boolean</Value>
          <Valid>boolean</Valid>
        </Active>
      </getGLBranchResult>
    </getGLBranchResponse>
  </soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

I use Dom.Document doc = res.getBodyDocument(); to get the document from the HTTP response. 

When I call Dom.XMLNode rootele = doc.getRootElement(); and put it in a system.debug, it doesnt really make much sense, returns something like:
 

[13]|DEBUG|XMLNode[ELEMENT,Envelope,http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/,null,[common.apex.api.dom.XmlNode$NamespaceDef@c2d03a7, common.apex.api.dom.XmlNode$NamespaceDef@59ff7f61, common.apex.api.dom.XmlNode$NamespaceDef@32f5bbfc],[XMLNode[ELEMENT,Body,http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/,null,null, etc

when I call getChildElement on this, it returns null, everytime. I have tried calling getChildElement('Envelope',null)​, getChildElement('Body',null)​ and many others. Always returns null. Am i doing something wrong? 

Hi,

Can anyone please guide me as to how do we write the test class for a Web Service.

Thanks.

Hi,

I am confused while it comes to order of execution of 'before triggers' and 'validation rules' while saving a record in salesforce. Salesforce document says-1)System Validation 2)Before Triggers 3)Custom Validation. I had this question in my developer exam and 2 options were confusing.
A)Before Triggers  B) Validation Rules,
Options were-1)AB 2)BA 
Which one of above is correct?

 

Hi All
can you please share interview questions and different senarios which ask for experienced sfdc developers
 

Hi everyone,

The company I work for is looking for a Senior Salesforce Developer for one of our clients. I have been asked to come up with some questions to ask Senior Salesforce Developers that interviewers at my company can ask applicants to verify their knowledge. If someone could provide me with some questions that I could ask a Senior Salesforce Developer to verify their knowledge of salesforce and their experience that would be fantastic.

Thanks,

Hi guys,

 

Can you clarify the meaning and execution process of both system mode and user mode?

 

 

Hi All,

 

As shown below the  execution of the process order is right  r not?if not so Please do the changes and let me know.
