jheuvel Instantiate specific sObject from generic code
Hi all,
i'm building an integration on the API using the WSDL from my org.
I'm trying to create a generic class for several (standard and custom) objects, so I can generalize the ETL proces. I'm hoping to make this as resusable as possible.
Struggling to find a solution for the following:
Would it be possible to instatiate an sObject from a string with the object name, via the API?
Something like:
sObject obj = new binding.describeSObjects(string sObjectType[] ); (i know this is not the way to do it...)
Next, would i then be able to use the object's specific fieldnames from the sObject?
Help would be very welcome!
Thanks,
Jochem
You should look at the partner WSDL/API, it makes these generic/metadata driven approaches easier.
Their is a framework already for that named Tolerado. Here is the wiki page that shows, how you can do something like this
