Enabling transparent sign on with external web sites

Hi,
Is there any recommended method for enabling SSO type of functionality with an external website?  Note that the credentials for the external web site may be different than the salesforce credentials.  In particular I want to be able to sign on to Google Analytics.

Currently I have  a S-Control with a hidden form that does the login - I want to make it more generic as well as more secure (password is in clear text) - see below

<a href="#" onclick="googlelogin.submit()">Get Google Analytics</a>
<form style="visibility:hidden;" name="googlelogin" action="https://www.google.com/accounts/ServiceLoginBoxAuth">
<input type="text" name="Email" class="gaia le val" id="Email" size="18" value="xx@yy.zz" />
<input type="password" name="Passwd" class="gaia le val" id="Passwd" size="18" value="secret" />
<input type="checkbox" name="PersistentCookie" value="yes" />
<input type="hidden" name="rmShown" value="1" >
<input type="hidden" name="continue" value="http://www.google.com/analytics/home/?et=reset&amp;hl=en-US" />
<input type="hidden" name="service" value="analytics">
<input type="hidden" name="nui" value="1" />
<input type="hidden" name="hl" value="en-US">
<input type="hidden" name="GA3T" value="oCGYxIWWGUE" />

Timer functionality in Apex

Hi,

Is there a timer functionality in Apex?  I want to be able to schedule some operations on a periodic basis.

The second related question is to invoke something that is only accessible from a UI control (from an installed package for which either the backend code or the web service is not available).  Is it possible to simulate a mouse click based on a timer event?

Thanks in advance!

Apex File logging.

    Hello,

    It would be great if some one can suggest me a way to develop Logger class that will log all my apex messages to a local file.

    This would greatly help me, as this would give me an ability to go through the failure messages, and debug the application             more effectively. 
   
    I created an apex class that logs into Salesforce Document object, but it would create 2 additional calls to Salesforce and is lot     of overhead for each request. Suggestions would be greatly appreciated.



Code:
public class Logger {
 
 
 private static final Document log = [Select d.Body From Document d where d.Name='LogFile'][0];
 
 private String logMessage = '';
 
 public void addToLog(String message){
  logMessage = logMessage + System.now() + '::' +message + '\n';
 }
 
 public void logmessage(){
 
  log.body= Blob.valueOf(log.body.toString()+ logMessage);
  update log;
  logMessage = '';
 
 }

}

 


    Thanks,
    Girish S

WebService Fault Message

Is there a way to pass Fault Message from the WebService created using Apex. If yes, how do we implement it. Or is this part of the return (success) message itself.

Can you please let me know what's the best practice of handling adn returning Exception from the Apex WebService.

Also can we return Object from the Apex WebService to the other calling method which is outside SalesForce

Thanks

Custom Button

I am not able to access any of the SF standard objects attributes(fields). I get an error Object not defined                  not exist.

For now I am trying very simple one line code in a custom object on the Opportunity Detail Page.

Following is the code that I was trying. Ideally I would like to make a call to the Apex Code from the buttons

Problem with the OnClick Javascript - Opportunity is not defined
alert(Opportunity.Name);

Problem with the OnClick Javascript - missing ) after argument list...
alert({!Opportunity.Name} );

Please let me know what could be wrong. I am using Developer Edition for the above example

Thanks

Urgent !! Sample Code to make a call to Apex Web Service from Java

I have created an APEX Web Service and would like to call it from outside. Can you please give me the steps to access APEX Web Service from outside.

I have the document calling SF APIs from outside, this does not talk about making calls to APEX Web Service.

1. Do I need to get an handle to describeGlobal ?
2. Do I need to have some kind of SF jar files to get APIs for SF objects (like DescribeGlobalResult;, SforceServiceLocator() );

Thanks

Regards
