Enterprice XML Web Service request issues

Trying to mess around with the Enterprise API and I can't seem to get my XML request setup correctly.

Here is my XML update request:

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:urn="urn:enterprise.soap.sforce.com" xmlns:urn1="urn:sobject.enterprise.soap.sforce.com">
      <soapenv:Header>
            <urn:SessionHeader>
                  <urn:sessionId>tricks</urn:sessionId>
            </urn:SessionHeader>
      </soapenv:Header>
      <soapenv:Body>
            <urn:update>
                  <urn:sObjects xsi:type="urn1:Account">
                        <urn1:Id>0015000000Lij8E</urn1:Id>
                        <Name>test</Name>
                  </urn:sObjects>
            </urn:update>
      </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

And here is the response:

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
   <soapenv:Body>
      <soapenv:Fault>
         <faultcode>soapenv:Client</faultcode>
         <faultstring>The prefix "xsi" for attribute "xsi:type" associated with an element type "urn:sObjects" is not bound.</faultstring>
      </soapenv:Fault>
   </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

What am I messing up? I was using this as a guideline but it is very old and may be outdated: http://wiki.developerforce.com/index.php/Enterprise_Update

Thanks,

Jason

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/html" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<body>
<apex:form >
<apex:pageblock id="exportDocs">
<apex:pageBlockTable value="{!exportValues}" var="actual">
<apex:column headerValue="Id" value="{!actual.Id}"/>
<apex:column headerValue="Act Name" value="{!actual.Name}"/>
<apex:column headerValue="MType" value="{!actual.A_Type__c}"/>
<apex:column headerValue="Country" value="{!actual.Country__c}"/>

Querying for Lead Queues?

I'm trying to create a Visualforce page that allows a user to choose a Lead Queue form a picklist. I see the QueueSobject object but it appears to only contain the SobjectType and QueueId; not the Queue Name. Any idea how I can get both the Queue's Id and Name?

Thanks

Siteforce repeater DIVs

I'm trying to populate a UL with LI elements via a repeater, but it's not working well for me because the repeater automatically injects div elements that wrap my LIs. Is there a particular reason Siteforce is intervening on my explicit custom code? Any way it can be avoided?

Portal usernames unique across orgs?

Is it possible for a portal user to have the same username in two separate orgs. For example, Company A has a portal and Mike Smith chose msmith@gmail.com as the username. Company B also has a portal and Mike Smith needs to be a portal user in Company B as well and wants to choose msmith@gmail.com as the username. Is this possible? The reason I ask is that we're getting the following error message in one of our customer's portals, even though we have check the user table before registration to catch the error if the user tries to use a username that already exists in the user table.

There was an error in registering a user in site <PORTAL_NAME_HERE>. The error message is: Duplicate Username.<br>Another user has already selected this username.<br>Please select another.

Register customer portal user, link with existing Person Account

Hi, we're building a customer portal where users will be registering as Person Accounts. The issue is that the Person Accounts most likely already exist in our org. So we want them to self-register on our portal and have their Custom Portal User associated to the Person Account that already exists in our org. Is this possible with the Site.createPersonAccountPortalUser() method? If not, how can we achieve this?

Thanks much

EDIT: is the solution to simply use Site.createPortalUser() with the id of the Person Account id?

getting duplicates using queryMore

I'm doing a query to pull a few hundred thousand records from a custom object and I'm noticing duplicate rows being pulled down. I'm sure this is something I'm doing wrong, but I'm using the queryMore sample code provided in the wiki

QueryResult queryResult = this.stub.query("Select name From lead"); do { for(sObject lead : queryResult.getRecords()) { System.out.println(lead.get_any()[0].getValue()); } if(queryResult.isDone()) break; queryResult = this.stub.queryMore(queryResult.getQueryLocator()); } while(true);

I am performing a few different queries within my class, so I'm repurposing queryResult, but I'm setting it to null before every query.

Any help is appreciated!

odd behavior when using the import wizard in sandbox

I'm testing a lead distribution application in sandbox by uploading leads via the Import Wizard. I turn on the debug log for my license and start the import, but my apex @future method doesn't seem to fire. I check the apex job monitor and there's no sign of any calls to my @future method.

Also: when I use the data loader, it works fine....any ideas??

for (lead l : trigger.new) {

leadids.add(l.id);

}

if (leadids.size() > 0) {

system.debug('routing leads now!!!!');

LeadAssignment.routeLeads(leadids);

}

EDIT: also, I'm receiving an email with the following content (which doesn't make any sense because the leads table is empty when I'm attempting to upload via the wizard):

Force.com Sandbox

Alert: All information in the import file was already in Salesforce.

Result: No data was created or modified in Salesforce.

44 values: unexpected errors. Line number(s): 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10

multi-line commenting in new force.com ide

In version 14 of the force.com IDE, I noticed that using the standard /* */ for multi-line commenting no longer changes the font color of the code to a dark red the way it used to. Is this simply an oversight, a bug in my eclipse instance, or is there a new way to do multi-line commenting?

flex toolkit: handling namespace prefixes

I'm rewriting a flex control to be able to handle namespace prefixing, however I'm having trouble parsing the describeSObjects call. How do I rewrite the line below to handle a dynamic "type__c" (could be xyz__type__c or abc__type__c, etc.) field name. I tried casting result[0].fields as an array and iterating that way, but when I trace the values, they come up as "undefined".

Code:

var myPicklistValues:ArrayCollection = result[0].fields.type__c.picklistValues;

asynchronous apex limits questions

I'm sure these questions have been covered somewhere on this board, but I could not find them via search...

1. Is the limit for @future calls 200 per org per 24 hours OR 200 per license per 24 hours?

2. If it's 200 per org per 24 hours, can this limit be raised?

3. Lastly, I have a trigger on leads that calls an @future class after insert and when I check the apex job queue, hundreds of jobs show up in the queue even when we load a list of 500 or so leads via the import wizard. For a list of 500 or so leads, wouldn't that only generate 3 @future calls, assuming the batch size is 200? (and yes, I've written the aforementioned trigger for bulk processing)

Thanks in advance!!

Asynchronous apex security question (@future keyword)

All:

I moved one of our apex classes to the @future keyword to alleviate some issues we were having with governor limits. However, now I'm receiving script exceptions referencing the INSUFFICIENT_ACCESS_OR_READONLY error. Does the @future keyword ignore object access/security like regular apex classes?

unexpected trigger behavior?

I have a trigger that runs when a child record of an opportunity is created. it takes the ownerid of the opportunity and queries for the owner's "Sales Administrator" (which is a user hierarchy field), and assigns a task to this "Sales Administrator". For some reason, when the system admin is the owner of the opportunity, i get an invalid cross reference on the ownerid (saying it can't be left blank) when trying to insert the tasks.

is this expected behavior?

thanks in advance

Google Spreadsheets API - hits Callout limit of 10 ??!?

Please help.

I am trying to use the Google Spreadsheets API with a list feed. This works fine with a handful of rows.

However, with more than a handful of rows (approx 7 or 8), any other rows never get inserted/updated.

I think this might be because Apex will only make 10 callouts and just seems to 'stop working' without reporting any errors (I guess I use a couple of callouts to get the spreadsheet etc).

From the debug log: Number of callouts: 10 out of 10 ******* CLOSE TO LIMIT

Is it the case that I can only make 10 callouts when working with a Google spreadsheet? If so, that's a pretty serious limitation.

Error: Too man DML statements

I have a trigger, which has been working fine for several months in our production org and the last two days I recieved the following error message:

caused by: System.Exception: Too many DML statements: 21

Class.CriticalAccount.setCriticalAccountTrue: line 16, column 9

Is the error getting caused because the trigger is not handling bulk updates?

Here is the trigger code and class:

trigger setCriticalAccountTrue on Case (after update) {
 CriticalAccount.setCriticalAccountTrue(Trigger.new);
}



public class CriticalAccount {

  for (Case c : cases) {
   
   if(c.Priority == 'Critical') {
   
   Account a = new Account( Id = c.AccountId );
      a.Critical_Account__c = true;

      acctList.add(a);
  }
  update acctList;
  }
 }
 
 public static testMethod void testCriticalAccountClass() {
  // Create a new case to test
  Case c = new Case(RecordTypeId='01230000000DCKS',
