I'm trying to use ruby (soap4r) with the sforce API. I'm having no problems with SOQL queries, but I'm unable to get Retrieve working.

The wiretrace from my last attempt looked like:

This request looks correct to me. Why is sforce trying to interpret the Id as an SObject?
This Id was returned from a previous SOQL query.

What's wrong with this request?

Hi. I'm using the Ruby SOAP4r library with the Enterprise portal to try to add a new Opportunity. I create a new Opportunity object and add all the fields that SalesForce appears to require:

opp = Opportunity.new
class << opp
  attr_accessor :accountId, :amount, :name, :closeDate, :stageName
end

opp.accountId = the_account
opp.amount = "3.14"
opp.name = "Test from script"
opp.closeDate = "2005-8-25"
opp.stageName = "Closed Won"

binding.create(Create.new([opp]))

But I consistently see the error message "common.exception.ApiException: Must send a concrete entity type. (SOAP::FaultError)". I don't get it. What could be more concrete than an Opportunity? How can I find out what piece of information SForce is missing? Should I add more fields? Which ones?

Before you ask, yes, I've regenerated my WSDL files and rerun wsdl2ruby.

Has anyone played with this yet? Due to my lack programing and not very familiar with JAVA and/or eclipse I'm running into some issues, errors could very well be between chair and computer.

In reading the Email2Case Readme file it states: "Load the Prject in Eclipse, and Start it up. You'll alos want to build the Email2Case JAR so you can run it from the command line." I have the 1.4.2 JSDK installed (from using the partner toolkit which runs properly)


I have extracted the Email2Case project to my C:\\EmailAgent60. Then I opened Eclipse and created a new project. I think I added the "Email2Case.jar" fine. I then go to Run and the "main Class" is set to org.apache.tools.ant.Main. I run it and it give me the error of: "build.xml does not exist!"

Ideas?
