We're experiencing some unexpected behaviour with the metadata API and would like to get some diagnostics on calls to the API which are evaluated asynchronously. Here is a sample of the code we are using to do this:

AsyncResult[] result = binding.create(metadata);
for(int z=0;z
AsyncResult r = result[z];
AsyncRequestState state = r.getState();
while(state.equals(state.InProgress)) {
System.out.println("Seconds: " + r.getSecondsToWait());
try {
Thread.sleep(1000);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
state = r.getState();
} System.out.println("Status: " + r.getStatusCode());

The issue is that the transaction seemingly never completes, it remains in the InProgress state with 10 seconds remaining and never exits the loop. Could someone give me a sample example of how errors should be extracted from metadata calls in this way?

Thanks,

James

Is it possible to update a modified DescribeLayout object via the partner API? We are adding a new DescribeLayoutItem to a DescribeLayoutRow. We presumed that because DescribeLayoutRow has setLayoutItems, that this was not a read-only API, but we can't figure out the method of creating the update?

Thanks,

It is possible using the enterprise API to create data using the approach described here:

http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/api/index.htm

Is it possible to achieve the same end through the "partner" API. For example, rather than concrete Java types:

Opportunity newOpportunity = new Opportunity();
newOpportunity.setStageName("Prospecting");
SaveResult[] results = binding.create(new SObject[] {newOpportunity});

Can the description of object types be captured in data, for example:

SObject opportunity = new SObject();
sobject.setType("Opportunity");

/* Missing bit: some code to describe the stage name */

SaveResult[] results = binding.create(new SObject[] {newOpportunity});

Thanks,

James

Is it possible to define a "Lookup Relationship" that can be bound to multiple values? This seems a fairly fundamental part of data modelling, perhaps there is an alternative way of achieving the same end?

Thanks,

Hello again,

Is there any way that you can import a data model or UML model into
Apex and thus automatically create Custom objects (database tables)?

Thanks,

Andy
