"Client applications do not need to explicitly log out to end the session. Sessions expire automatically after a period of inactivity, which can be configured (in the Setup section in the salesforce.com user interface) for your organization to be 30, 60, or 120 minute intervals. If you have a client application that periodically polls the sforce Web service at an interval longer than the configured time-out, then that application should log in each time to obtain a new session. "
I'm trying to find where under Setup this is configured. Under Administration Setup/Security Controls/Session Settings I can change the "session timeout" up to 4 hours. Does this affect the sForce Session ID expiration or does this only apply to salesforce.com UI sessions? I'm confused because the setting values are 30 min, 1 hour, 2 hours and 4 hours and the documentation says "30, 60, or 120 minute intervals", which leads me to believe I'm in the wrong place and the sForce sessions are configured elsewhere. Please advise. Thanks.
I've noticed that "Email Opt Out" and "Do Not Call" fields for both Contacts and Leads is not available through the API. Am I missing something? I need to acccess these fields. Thanks.

I'm in the process of trying to convert the Enterprise java example to a servlet. The login works fine, but when I try to execute a query I get the followingn error:
Failed to execute query succesfully, error message was: ; nested exception is: java.io.IOException: No serializer found for class com.sforce.soap.enterprise._SessionHeader in registry org.apache.axis.encoding.TypeMappingImpl@96ad7c
My guess is that I'm not persisting or passing the login session header to the query request. Can someone tell me how to do this in a servlet or JSP? I can't find examples of this anywhere. Here is my servlet:
out.println("Creating the binding to the web service...<P>");

In the second case the binding * will use the url contained in the wsdl file when the proxy was * generated. */ try { binding = (SoapBindingStub)new SforceServiceLocator().getSoap(); } catch (ServiceException ex) { out.println( "ERROR: createing binding to soap service, error was: \n" + ex.getMessage()); out.print("Hit return to continue...<P>"); }

In the developer edition the Campaigns screen always shows the intro page. I can't figure out how to bypass this screen and see the actual Campaigns data. I can create a new Campaign from the sub-menu of the Home page but that's it. My "Marketing User" checkbox is on. If I click "Don't show me this page again" it takes me to the "Customize My Tabs" screen under set-up.
The Dashboard screen also shows an intro page, but I can click "Continue" to get to the actual Dashboards page.

Seems that the Campaigns Tab feature is not working for a new Developer Edition account.
I clickthrough the "Do Not Show This Page Again" link on the new campaign features page and I am taken to the Customize My Tabs page with no way to ultimately get to the Campaigns page.

Does anyone know how id's are given out for a custom entity Salesforce?
I presumed that the last 15 characters (case sensitive) followed a sequence "0-9" then "A-Z" and then "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz". It seems to be sequential for a while and then jumps forward.
e.g. 000A, 000B, 000C, 000D and then 021C
The reason for this is that I am developing an sControl to generate a sequential number such as an order number.
I do this by inserting a record into a custom enitity which returns a unique id each time, I then convert it to a number using the following function:
calculate(salesforceId.substring(4,15))
function convert(input) { var convertBase="0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"; var origin; var dest; var origin=61; var dest=10; var b=0; var Result=""; if (Number(origin)>convertBase.length || Number(dest)>convertBase.length || Number(origin)<2 || Number(dest)<2) return "Invalid numbering system" for (var c=1;c<=input.length;c++) { b+=convertBase.indexOf(input.substring(c-1,c))*(Math.pow(origin,input.length-c)); if (convertBase.indexOf(input.substring(c-1,c)) > Number(origin)) return 'Character "'+input.substring(c-1,c)+'" not present in origin system'; } var a=Math.floor(Math.log(b)/Math.log(dest)) while (a>-1) { var e=Math.pow(dest,a) a--; var d=(b-b%e)/e+1; b%=e; Ciffer=convertBase.substring(d-1,d); Result+=Ciffer; } return Result }
The problem is that every so often the sequence breaks.
