Hi all,

We need to implement the following pattern at my org:

• callout to external data source
• if that callout takes too long (according to some configurable threshold), log an error (ie do some DML)
• if that callout timed out on the remote server, try it again

Recognizing the potential for the dreaded "You have uncommitted work pending. Please commit or rollback before calling out." error, I put the error logging code in a future method, thus isolating the DML from the callouts. However, the error is still being thrown. I reduced the issue down to this pattern:

public static void foo() {
    Http http = new Http();
    HttpRequest req = new Httprequest();
    req.setEndpoint('https://test.salesforce.com'); //whatever endpoint
    req.setMethod('GET');
    http.send(req); //works fine
    bar();
    http.send(req); //throws calloutexception
}

@future public static void bar() {

}

Am I correct to assume that calling a future method counts as a DML operation? Is there any documentation I'm missing somewhere?

 

I must be missing something..

 

The date is always 1 day behind when formating like so:

 

datetime xDate = o.campaign_start_date__c;
			
String xxDate = xDate.format('yyyy-dd-MM');
system.debug('sdate :' +xxDate);

 

I set the above field to 8/16/2011

 

and in debug it shows up as: 2011-15-08

 

Everytime I change it the debug value is shown as 1 day behind.. Im sure I could to +1, but could someone help me understand why this is happening?

 

Thanks!

I'm trying to copy a new user as contact by using a trigger but I'm getting the following error

 

MIXED_DML_OPERATION, DML operation on setup object is not permitted after you have updated a non-setup object (or vice versa): Contact, original object: User

 

trigger Acceleration_User_Copyto_Contact on User (after insert, after update) {
    
   // Map<String,User> newLead = new Map <String, User>();
    
    system.debug('Acceleration_User_Copyto_Contact Trigger....');
 
    for ( User user : System.Trigger.new)
    {
        if  (user.Email.contains('acceleration'))
        {
            system.debug('Acceleration_User_Copyto_Contact Trigger..2.');
            Integer RecordCount = [select count() from Contact c where c.Email = : user.Email];
            
            system.debug('Acceleration_User_Copyto_Contact Trigger..2a .' + RecordCount);
            
            if (RecordCount == 0)
            {
                String AccountId = '';
                for ( Account a : [Select a.Id From Account a where Name = 'Acceleration']) 
                {
                    system.debug('Acceleration_User_Copyto_Contact Trigger..3.');

                    Contact con = New Contact();
                    con.AccountId = AccountId ;
                    con.Email = user.Email;
                    con.Firstname = User.Firstname;

                    insert con;
                }          
            }                   
        }
        
     }
