Web Service Call

I am working on a callout to a webservice and I am getting an error structuring one of the methods.  The error is happening on this line:

               public static void APIParseResponse(APIUpdateAccountResult XXXAPIResponse) {

 

The error is:

Save error: Invalid type: APIUpdateAccountResult ABSCalloutClass.cls 

 

Here is the wsdl2apex:

So based on that; since I cannot check right away.

 

Is there a value to checking the repsonse?

 

What is considered best practice?

 

I have another post up under Apex code regarding the call to update and Soap header failure, do you have any suggestions for that?

 

Here is the link:

http://boards.developerforce.com/t5/Apex-Code-Development/Callout-to-webservice-SOAP-Failure/td-p/335765

 

I really appreciate the help with this.

you should actually use 

@fututre(callout=true)

for the function CallUpdateInvokeWebService because you are doing the actual callout in this method.

 

and the following line of code is not correct i think because APIResponse and APIUpdateAccountResult are 2 different data types.

wsXXXnetComEnterpriseservicesAbsdata.APIResponse XXXAPIResponse = new
                 //wsXXXnetComEnterpriseservicesAbsdata.APIResponse();
                  wsXXXnetComEnterpriseservicesAbsdata.APIUpdateAccountResult();

 

coming to the point when are you calling the method APIParseResponse()? are you sure you are passing the correct argument while calling this method?

I did add the @future(callout=True) to the CallupdateInvoke....

 

thank you.

 

I agree that Api response call is incorrect; I am new and I having diificulty with sifting through the pieces.

 

Any help is appreciated.

 

Here is what the class currently looks like; the wsdl has not changes from what I posted already.

 Thank you for your time and assistance.

what is the problem that you are currently facing?
jadenjaden

The specific error right now is:

Save error: Invalid type: APIUpdateAccountResponse_element ABSCalloutClass.cls 

 

 

I cannot seem to get syntax for the response method and call to it; snipet below

 

system.debug('back from call update');

 

//Call Check Response

                  APIParseResponse(edrAPIResponse);

 

}

// If trigger upadte

}

@future(callout=true)publicstaticvoidAPIParseResponse(APIUpdateAccountResponse_element APIUpdateAccountResponse){

 

 

Thank you for your help and time

 
SrikanthKuruvaSrikanthKuruva

when you invoke the following method it is returning a result of type wsEdrnetComEnterpriseservicesAbsdata.APIUpdateAccountResult. this is correct

wsEdrnetComEnterpriseservicesAbsdata.APIUpdateAccountResult result = 
             edrNet.APIUpdateAccount(edrCustomer);

 what ever you did after this

APIParseResponse(edrAPIResponse);

 is not at all required and i dont see a need for this. so all you need to do is as soon as your method ABSCalloutClass.CallUpdateInvokeWebService() is called goto setup-->administration setup-->ApexJobs and check whether your method has completed execution. once it is completed check the actual result of the webservice by going to the external system.
jadenjaden

okay, and I understand that I can check this by going to the Apex jobs. 

 

What I am trying to understand as I am new is:

I did not write the webservice, why would someone add a response method if not needed? 

 

In terms of best practices; should it be checked within the code and if so what can be done since it is a callout?

 

thank you
SrikanthKuruvaSrikanthKuruva

just take a look at the following method in the webservice class.

public wsXXXnetComEnterpriseservicesAbsdata.APIUpdateAccountResult APIUpdateAccount(wsXXXnetComEnterpriseservicesAbsdata.APIExistingCustomer existingCustomer) {
            ......
            wsXXXnetComEnterpriseservicesAbsdata.APIUpdateAccountResponse_element response_x;
            ......
            return response_x.APIUpdateAccountResult;
        }

 the last line of this method indicates that it is retruning a value of type 'APIUpdateAccountResult'. But the response_x type is APIUpdateAccountResponse_element . had that some one who has written the webservice to return the response_x instead of response_x.APIUpdateAccountResult, then it would make sense to write the APIParseResponse(...) method in your apexclass.
SrikanthKuruvaSrikanthKuruva

one more thing you need to remember is that callout is processed asynchronously and so you cannot check the response immediately.
jadenjaden

So based on that; since I cannot check right away.

 

Is there a value to checking the repsonse?

 

What is considered best practice?

 

I have another post up under Apex code regarding the call to update and Soap header failure, do you have any suggestions for that?

 

Here is the link:

I really appreciate the help with this.

jadenjaden

It has been pointed out that since this is future checking response may not be valid at this time. I am going to close for now and focus on getting the update method working and then if needed do the response,

 

Thank you to all that replied.
