Invoke salesforce.com API via enterprise.wsdl

Note

Key Requirements

1. Dynamic partner-link support, WS-Addressing

Key steps to create a project and invoke the "describeSObject" operation

• Import salesforce.com's enterprise.wsdl
• Need to modify the original WSDL file and add SessionHeader message part to the Request header

    <message name="describeSObjectRequest">
        <part element="tns:describeSObject" name="parameters"/>
        <part element="tns:SessionHeader" name="SessionHeader"/>
    </message>

• Create a BPEL project and BPEL process, in the BPEL process invoke the WSDL's operations in this sequence "login" -> "describeSObject"
• After "login" operation, need to assign the returning "serverURL" and "sessionId" to the subsequent "describeSObject" operation. "serverURL" goes to the WS-Addressing part of the dynamic partner-link.

• "sessionId" goes to the "describeSObject" operation input parameter. Note: currently I have to manually edit the BPEL source code in order to add the WS-Addressing part for dynamic partner-link.

• Output the result of invoking "describeSObject" operation to a file
