"The Axis 1.3 library is compatible with the SForce API v6 but the way to you call the API is a bit different. In order to resolve your particular problem performing Update and Create, you can do the following:

// Instead of using the base class array (won't work)
SObject[] upserts = new SObject[2];

// Use an array of specific objects
SObject[] upserts = new Account[2];

But this solution only applies to Enterprise API. Is there any other solution to this problem? I read through the whole thread but didn't quite get what exactly was the solution for people using Partner API.

Right now I am getting the same error message as included the initial post of this thread. My endpoint URL is https://na1-api.salesforce.com/services/Soap/u/7.0. I am using Partner WSDL and PartnerSample.Java included in Partner Sample toolkit.  The method createLeadSample() from PartnerSample.java is giving me the error message. Nothing was modified to that sample code except to not take the user input for email address. I don't see any reason why the PartnerSample code shouldn't work as it is.

If there's something really obvious I am missing, I apologize. I am quite new to webservice APIs in general. Any help will be appreciated. I am really stuck and running out of time.

Thanks in advance!



Following is the code from PartnerSample.java

  private void createLeadSample() {
        // Verify that we are already authenticated, if not
        // call the login function to do so
        if (!loggedIn) {
            if (!login())
                return;
        }

        try {

            SObject[] leads = new SObject[1];
                          
            MessageElement[] lead = new MessageElement[23];
            lead[0] = newMessageElement("AnnualRevenue", "1000000.0");
            lead[1] = newMessageElement("City", "San Francisco");
            lead[2] = newMessageElement("Company", "Acme Anvils");
                      ....            
            lead[20] = newMessageElement("Street", "10 Downing Street");
            lead[21] = newMessageElement("Title", "Director of Directors");
            lead[22] = newMessageElement("Website", "www.acmeanvils.com");
             
            leads[0].setType("Lead");
            leads[0].set_any(lead);
           
            SaveResult[] sr = binding.create(leads);

            for (int j = 0; j < sr.length; j++) {
                if (sr[j].isSuccess()) {
                    System.out.println("A lead was created with an id of: "
                            + sr[j].getId());

                } else {
                    // there were errors during the create call, go through the
                    // errors
                    // array and write them to the screen
                    for (int i = 0; i < sr[j].getErrors().length; i++) {
                        // get the next error
                        com.sforce.soap.partner.Error err = sr[j].getErrors()[i];
                        System.out.println("Errors were found on item "
                                + new Integer(j).toString());
                        System.out.println("Error code is: "
                                + err.getStatusCode().toString());
                        System.out
                                .println("Error message: " + err.getMessage());
                    }
                }
                getUserInput("\nHit return to continue...");
            }
        } catch (ApiFault af) {
            System.out
                    .println("\nFailed to create lead succesfully, error message was: \n"
                            + af.getExceptionMessage());
            getUserInput("\nHit return to continue...");
        } catch (Exception ex) {
            System.out
                    .println("\nFailed to create lead succesfully, error message was: \n"
                            + ex.getMessage());
            getUserInput("\nHit return to continue...");
        }
    }
