I am trying to use the DescribeSObjects function from the Ajax Version 2 toolkit.
The function DescribeSObjects takes a parameter objectTypes, but in the internalCallback inner function, the describeCache statement is making reference to objectType. This causes a javascript error when executed.
Further, from the Enterprise WSDL, the payload should be sending an array of . I don't see code in the DescribeSObjects function that serializes the objectTypes into an array of .
Has anyone successfully deserialized the DescribeSObjects call in AJAX?
Here is the code for the function DescribeSObjects
SforceClient.prototype.DescribeSObjects = function(objectTypes, callback) { var sfClient = this; var returnValue; internalCallback = function(req) { returnValue = _createSforceObject(req); //sfClient._describeSObjectHandler(req); if (dltypeof(returnValue) != "SoapFault") { describeCache[objectType.toLowerCase()] = returnValue; } if (callback) callback(returnValue); } //if (describeCache[objectType.toLowerCase()] == null) { makeDescribeSObjectsRequest = function(objectType) { return buildRequest("" + objectTypes + "");}; var as = true; if (callback == undefined) as = false; this.SendRequest2(makeDescribeSObjectsRequest(objectTypes), internalCallback, "describe", as, this.getServerUrl()); //} else { // returnValue = describeCache[objectType.toLowerCase()]; if (callback) callback(returnValue); //} return returnValue; };
I'm looking at the DescribeSObject call and it's relation to the Ajax toolkit. In my use case, I want to use the DescribeSObject to see if the Opportunity is createable. When I use the Ajax toolkit and call DescribeSObject, the response xml contains an element as such.
true.
However, when I access this field from javascript, as such var objDesc = sforceClient.DescribeSObject("Opportunity"); alert(objDesc.createable) it will always return false.
To further validate my point, when I use the SForce Explorer and describe Opportunity, the createable will always equal false for the Opportunity Object.
Has anyone seen anything like this before? Is there a workaround?
I was trying to update some opportunity line item fields with a value of 0.00. This works no problem through the standard SalesForce edit screen. However, when this opportunity is retrieved through the AJAX API, no values are being returned to me.
