Hi there, I've created a public class called SponsorshipMaintenance that has a public method UpdateSponsorshipCountry. Looks like this:

public class SponsorshipMaintenance {
   
    public void UpdateSponsorshipCountry(List<Sponsorship__c> Sponsorships, List<Id> ChildIds){
          // .... some code here
   }

}

The class compiles with no errors. When I try to compile a trigger that has a call to the UpdateSponsorshipCountry method, I get the message "method does not exist or incorrect signature" on the line that calls the method. The trigger looks like this:

trigger SponsorshipSetCountry on Sponsorship__c (before insert, before update) {   
    //get list of sponsored child Ids of new sponsorships
    Id[] SponsoredKids = new Id[]{};
    for (Sponsorship__c spons : Trigger.new){
        SponsoredKids.add(spons.Child__c);   
    }
   
    //call method to set the correct country on the sponsorship objects
    SponsorshipMaintenance.UpdateSponsorshipCountry(Trigger.New,SponsoredKids); //this is the line that's generating the error. If I comment it out, the trigger compiles.
}

Any guidance would be most appreciated. Thank you!

Hi,

Using the Flex Toolkit we can call any Apex class/method exposed as a web service, using a single execute() method. Like the following example:

<salesforce:Connection id="apex" />

apex.execute("ClassName", "methodName", [param], asyncResponder);

Is it possible to do something similar in Java, without having to generate the WSDL and Java client code for each Apex Class?

Thanks,

Claudio

Hi,

I developed a Trigger and a test method using a sandbox org (the test method gave me 90% of code cover). After that I retrieved the trigger and test class using the ant tool. But when I  try to deploy to the "production org", I get the error:

BUILD FAILED

If I try to deploy to a "developer org" it works fine.

Any help?

Thanks,

Hi there, I've created a public class called SponsorshipMaintenance that has a public method UpdateSponsorshipCountry. Looks like this:

public class SponsorshipMaintenance {
   
    public void UpdateSponsorshipCountry(List<Sponsorship__c> Sponsorships, List<Id> ChildIds){
          // .... some code here
   }

}

The class compiles with no errors. When I try to compile a trigger that has a call to the UpdateSponsorshipCountry method, I get the message "method does not exist or incorrect signature" on the line that calls the method. The trigger looks like this:

trigger SponsorshipSetCountry on Sponsorship__c (before insert, before update) {   
    //get list of sponsored child Ids of new sponsorships
    Id[] SponsoredKids = new Id[]{};
    for (Sponsorship__c spons : Trigger.new){
        SponsoredKids.add(spons.Child__c);   
    }
   
    //call method to set the correct country on the sponsorship objects
    SponsorshipMaintenance.UpdateSponsorshipCountry(Trigger.New,SponsoredKids); //this is the line that's generating the error. If I comment it out, the trigger compiles.
}

Any guidance would be most appreciated. Thank you!

I've created a class which will be instantiated multiple times in the trigger I'm working on, and I want to create a list or map of those custom objects.

In order to do that do I need to turn my class into an implementation of an interface?

That seems to be what the language reference is saying, but then on pg. 120 it says:

"Lists and maps can be used with classes and interfaces, in the same ways that lists and maps can be used with SObjects"

This is somewhat vague, but it seems to be hinting that perhaps there's a way to make a collection of instances of a standard class, as opposed to an interface-implementing class?  I could use some help grokking the whole "Classes and Collections" section on that pg.

If I do need to use an interface, does this add overhead to all of the apex code in my enviornment?  Since there's no equivalent of an import or include statement, I would assume that any class defined as an interface is included in every piece of code compiled?  Or does it only compile it in as needed?

Thanks much!
