Mike @ Partners Question about 'Outbound Message'
Im trying to understand how to use the new 'Outbound Message' feature. Im not very familiar with how this system works. Is there somewhere i can go to read up on how to develop the recving side the the message, or do you have example code of what the receiving side may look like?
Thanks for your help,
Mike

Hi i am also trying to use Outbound messages. I am using .NET 1.1 with VB.I followed the information from the link provided above but i am stuck the missing webservice example, here is what i have in my webservice:
<WebMethod()> _
Public Function notifications(ByVal n As notifications) As notificationsResponse
Dim n1 As NotificationService
Return n1.notifications(n)
End Function
Server did not recognize the value of HTTP Header SOAPAction
<System.Web.Services.WebService(Name:="NotificationBinding", Description:="WebService for the SalesForce Integration", [Namespace]:="http://soap.sforce.com/2005/09/outbound")> _
Public Class SalesForceIntegration
Inherits System.Web.Services.WebService
<System.Web.Services.WebServiceBindingAttribute(Name:="NotificationBinding", [Namespace]:="http://soap.sforce.com/2005/09/outbound"), _
System.Xml.Serialization.XmlIncludeAttribute(GetType(sObject))> _
Public MustInherit Class NotificationService
Inherits System.Web.Services.WebService
<System.Web.Services.WebMethodAttribute(), _
System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapDocumentMethodAttribute("", Use:=System.Web.Services.Description.SoapBindingUse.Literal, ParameterStyle:=System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapParameterStyle.Bare)> _
Public Function notifications(<System.Xml.Serialization.XmlElementAttribute("notifications", [Namespace]:="http://soap.sforce.com/2005/09/outbound")> ByVal notifications1 As notifications) As <System.Xml.Serialization.XmlElementAttribute("notificationsResponse", [Namespace]:="http://soap.sforce.com/2005/09/outbound")> notificationsResponse
Dim r As notificationsResponse = New notificationsResponser.Ack = True
Return r
End Function
Private objects As ArrayList = New System.Collections.ArrayList
Public Function CurrentO jects() As System.Collections.ArrayList
Return CType(objects.Clone(), ArrayList)
End Function
End Class
Any Help would be very greatfully recieved, Thanks Dan
Hi all, I am also attempting to understand how the outbound message feature works. I have a couple of questions.
- You can set the endpoint for the webservice but how do you select which opperation to execute?
- Is it possible to call a Salesforce websevice from an outbound message workflow (I'm trying to do this to get around the limitation of no being able to use PageReference.getContent() form inside a trigger or a future method)
Thanks in advance for any help!

1. the operation/service definition is predefined by salesforce, the Outbound messaging wsdl defines the message we send.
2. no. (you can however have the message goto a server you run, that on receipt makes a webservice call back to your apex code).
I can't believe my ears, a salesforce employee suggesting that I run my own server ;). I thought friends didn't let friends buy servers :D. I guess I don't really need a server, I might try wiring something up with google app engine although it seems like an awfull round about way to achieve what I'm trying to do.
All I want to do is automatically generate a PDF and attach it to a contract when the contract status is complete. Any ideas how I can accomplish this that's better than a callout out to google app engine which then makes a webservice call back to apex?
Thanks for all your help!
Yeah the following thread says it can't be done
http://community.salesforce.com/sforce/board/message?board.id=Visualforce&message.id=8485
I tried and got a null reference error same as the person in this thread.
I've got another workaround though, I'm going put a visualforce page in the layout for contracts that will execute the check and attachement. Not very elegant but it should work :)
