Hi Everyone,

I am trying to invoke  an apex  from a java class which takes in a parameter using the salesforce REST api . I already have the logic to retrive the access token via oAuth but not sure  but i m not  sure how i should pass the parameters value via the REST call and also invoke the execute() .

I execute this APEX in the Salesforce developer console (Anonymous Window) as follows : 

ApexClass apexClass = new ApexClass('param', false); 
Database.executeBatch(apexClass, 100);

Now I need to execute the same block form my java code.

Any help is highly appreciated!
 

Hi All,

I m trying to delete a content version record from my java code using REST api using HTTPDelete :

HttpDelete delete = new HttpDelete(baseUri+"/sobjects/ContentVersion/"+v);
where delete.getURI() = https:// xxx.my.salesforce.com/services/data/v35.0/sobjects/ContentVersion/06824000000aAqlAAE

HttpResponse  response = htttpCient.execute(delete);

but i get a status 401 on delete. This same URI works if if i delete a Account object without an issue. Can anyone please help ? I would really appriciate it!

Thank you!

Hi,

I wanted to test the REST connectivity from a stand alone java code. Since the couldnt find an example online i modified the current rest demo available in the salesforce api to use SOAP login instead of oAuth login. I read somewhere in this forum that we can use the soap login to obtain the user sessionId which can be used to make rest api.  So I tried to modify the rest demo code as shown below . I was able to connect successfully to salesforc test environmet and get the session id. I m i using this session id in place of the the accesstoken to set the get method's request header. But now i m getting a connection time out error .  I  did set the proxy host and port correctly so I doubt it can be a proxy issue as i was also able to connecti using the SOAP Enterprise connection. I m not sure i m doing this the right way can someone please guide me or point out any mistakes i made ?

I am getting an error when trying a file into Chatter via RestAPI.

[{"errorCode":"POST_BODY_PARSE_ERROR","message":"Binary data included but file attachment information is missing. If providing rich JSON/XML input in multipart REST, make sure to include Content-Type header in the part."}]

Here is a snippet of my code, what am I missing?
 

DefaultHttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
        HttpPost httppost;
        MultipartEntity reqEntity;
        httppost = new HttpPost(RES_URL);
        reqEntity = new MultipartEntity(HttpMultipartMode.BROWSER_COMPATIBLE);
        File imageFile = new File(
                "/salesforce/wsdl/test.txt");
        FileBody bin = new FileBody(imageFile);
        reqEntity.addPart("feedItemFileUpload", bin);
        String fileName = "test.txt";
        // file name can be text plain only, though using text/html doesn't breaks
        reqEntity.addPart("fileName", new StringBody(fileName, "text/plain",
                Charset.defaultCharset()));

        httppost.setEntity(reqEntity);

        httppost.setHeader("Authorization",         "OAuth " + logon());

        String response = EntityUtils.toString(httpclient.execute(httppost)
                .getEntity(), "UTF-8");

        System.out.println(response);

 

Hi all,

 

I have tried to find some sample code on developer.force.com for how to upload to Content via API, unsuccessfully unfortunately. I would basically like to automate the batch-upload of a set of files, creating a new item in Content for each file. 

Does anyone have a link with some sample code in Java that I could use to get started?

 

Kind regards,

Martin
