henryCH Call Apex Webservice using Outbound Message
Hi everybody,
I'd like to know if it's possible to call an Apex based Webservice method using a standard outbound message?
Seems to be an odd idea at first glance but we have some use cases/situations that would require a minor delay in processing, like a webservice call, and that can not be realised using triggers. So did anybody manage to do this??
Thanks and best regards,
Henry

How about using a time-based worklfow + field update (set a flag somewhere) + an 'on update' trigger ?
That will get you a 'minor delay' ...

The minimum delay for a time based workflow is one hour, which is too long for my purposes. So I tried the @future annotation, (requires a static method with primitive typed parameters only = extra work) and that seemed to work fine. My next conern, do I have to expect that the delay could be 10 hours if salesforce.com's servers are under heavy pressure? Is there a maximum waiting time or even a timeout for the queue of asynchronous method calls?
Best regards,
Henry
