Hi,

I'm using AJAS toolkit to call Apex class method from Javascript. The javascript used for calling Apex class method is added in SFDC using Custom Home Page component.

To call Apex class method, it is mandatory to use "sforce.connection.login" method to get sessionId. The login method accepts username, password and token to authenticate and create session. Once authentication is successful, I can use "sforce.apex.execute" method to call Apex class method.

I wish to skip call to "sforce.connection.login" and use logged-in users session so that I don't have to specify User Name, password and token in javascript. Is there any way I can use logged-in Users session in AJAX toolkit. Any help in this regard is appriciated.

Thanks,

Prasad

Hi,

Why do the ID for Static Resource is changed everytime it is updated?

Also if I add Static Resource e.g. Javascript file, use it in a Custom Home Page Component and add Custom Home Page Component to Package then:

1. Will Static Resource be added automatic to the Package or we need to add it manually?

2. When a package with Static Resource is deployed, will the ID for Static Resource change?

Thanks,

Prasad

Hi,

I have added following Controller and Apex page and when I open the Apex page in browser using https://ap1.visual.force.com/apex/AjaxResponder?q=GetAJAX, value for the parameter "q" i.e. "GetAJAX" is displayed in browser.

--Start : Source Code for Controller class

public class AjaxRespController {
    String searchResult;
    /** invoked on an Ajax request */   
    public void doSearch() {
        Map<string,string> params = ApexPages.currentPage().getParameters();
        // Do SOQL query to see if there are any records !
        //List<Contact> records = getRecords(params.get('q'));
        searchResult = params.get('q');      
    }
   
    // Returns the JSON result string
    public String getResult() {
        return searchResult;
    }
}

--End : Source Code for Controller class

--Start : Markup for Visualforce page

<apex:page controller="AjaxRespController"  action="{!doSearch}"
contentType="text/plain; charset=utf-8" showHeader="false" standardStylesheets="false" sidebar="false">
{!result}
</apex:page>

--End : Markup for Visualforce page

I created Home Page Component and added following following JQuery to call Apex Controller Method, but request is failing.

Also tried using relative path for the URL i.e. "/apex/AjaxResponder". But still reques is failing. Please guide me in resolving this issue.

-- "CallApexController" is called on click of a button which is added in page body using JQuery "Append" method in "Body" tag.

var j$ = jQuery.noConflict();

function CallApexController() {
    j$.ajax({
        type: "GET",
        url:"https://ap1.visual.force.com/apex/AjaxResponder?q=" + searchKeyword,
        contentType: "plain/text; charset=utf-8",
        data: "{}",
        dataType: "json",
        success: AjaxSucceeded,
        error: AjaxFailed
    });
}

function AjaxSucceeded(result) {
    alert('AjaxSucceeded');
}

function AjaxFailed(result) {
    alert('AjaxFailed');
}

Thanks,

Is Alias assigned to Users in Salesforce Unique?

Hi,

When adding/editing account record, I want to auto-populate Billing State/Province and Billing Country fields when Billing City is selected.

I have developed a Visualforce for searching Cities. This Visualforce page should open in a popup window when focus is on Billing City field. In the popup window, User will search for City and select City. When City is selected in popup window, selected City is displayed in Billing City field. I have the data for  State/Province and Country for Cities displayed in popup window. I should be able to pass State/Province and Country for selected City from popup window and auto-populate Billing State/Province and Billing Country on account page for selected City. Is this possible with layout provided for Standard Account page?

The Interactive Address lookup application from AppExchange Market place does the same thing. It populates all the address fields when address is selected in popup window and popup window is displayed when focus is on Billing Street field.

Thanks,

Prasad
