dbright Update fields with a WebService
I finally figured out how to publish my wcf wsdl so that SalesForce accepts it. Now I want to call it.
My goal is to update a custom field, ie. "Time Spent Golfing" in the account object.
So everytime the user hits "some button" in salesforce, it goes to the webservice with a series of account ids and updates the "Time Spent Golfing" field. What's the best way to accomplish this ? I tried hooking up triggers (and a testing function just to see it work) and they both say "cannot make an outside call." Regardless, I don't even want it to work through triggers, but just some button.
Can anyone suggest a course of action ?
Thanks in advance,

Hey,
You can either use Visual Force to initiate the webservice through a button or an scontrol. The generic could would be:
Java Script:
var result = sforce.apex.execute('CMyWebServiceClass','SomeMethodInMyClass', { pParam:"{!object.MergeField}"} );
or visual force you could use a controller and so therefore wouldn’t necessarily require a webservice
<apex:commandButton action="{!MyMethodInTheController}" value="Push Me" id="theButton"/>
Hope that points you in the right direction
