Hi all,

 

I have a java program which do the following

 

1.Gets the data from salesforce.

2.Forms a request string to query an external server.

3.Send request to that server and get the response from the server.

4.Get the required data from response and update it in slaesforce.

 

This is working fine when java program is executed on my machine. What we need now is to invoke this

java program from salesforce on a timely basis(for every 10 or 15 min)

 

If any one came across this situation ,Please help me regarding this, as we need this urgent.

 

Thanks & Regards,

If you need to invoke it every 10-15 minutes, why would you need Salesforce.com to invoke it?  Just fire up a cron job and have it run every 10-15 minutes.

 

If you really need Salesforce.com to call it to invoke it then you'll have to wrap it in a web service that Salesforce.com can call.

Salesforce doesn't host customer java code on their servers, if you want to call java code, you'll need to expose it as a web service, and call it via HTTP and/or SOAP/WSDL from apex code.

You'll need something external to pull the documents via the enterprise/partner APIs.
