Alibaba Calling Apex method from Detail Button
Hi,
I'm trying a fairly simple call of an Apex method from a custom detail button in Account. The argument I need to send is the Account object itself. I don't know how to reference it. I tried the example from the Apex development guide, which is:
{!requireScript("/soap/ajax/15.0/connection.js")}
{!requireScript("/soap/ajax/15.0/apex.js")}
var acct = sforce.sObject("Account");
var id = sforce.apex.execute("myClass","makeContact",
{lastName:"Smith",
a:account});
Even if I comment out the call to apex, the line
var acct = sforce.sObject ("Account");
Gives me an error: Object doesn't support this property or method.
I also tried through a global variable
var acct = $ObjectType.Account;
But that doesn't work either.
What am I missing? How do I reference the Account object in a button?
Thanks very much.
Ali,
I am afraid you cannot get the object in JS directly:(
You have to pass the ID to your apex class and query for getting the other fields based on that ID within the apex class!!

I have similar problem, I don't know how to pass a value from a detail page to apex class. How can I pass the Id?
I have the following code:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/js/functions.js"></script>
<script src="/soap/ajax/17.0/connection.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="/soap/ajax/15.0/apex.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var landmark = sforce.sObject("Landmark__c");
var id = sforce.apex.execute("ShiftLandmark","test",{land: landmark});
alert('id ' +id);
window.parent.location.replace("/a0S/o");
</script>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
and the class is simply:
global class ShiftLandmark {
webService static Id test(Landmark__c land) {
return land.id;
}
}
doesn't work :(
cannot get the id back...
you can pass the ID into your apex class using the object merge field in your JS code like "{!object__c.field__c}"

Hi,
I have similar problems.
Use:
var acct = new sforce.SObject ("Account"); // for: var acct = sforce.sObject("Account");
but I have still problems with:
sforce.apex.execute(...
Is this still possible/valid syntax?
I don't find any documentation in the AJAX Toolkit.
As, i posted earlier, you have to pass the ID/Field of the object to your apex class method from JS and then you have to query for getting the object based on this field/id!!

Cool_D,
This gives me a new object in javascript:
var acct = new sforce.SObject ("Account");
That was the first problem (Object doesn't support this property or method).
But I have no answer for the sforce.apex.execute
Yes, i agree you can create a new object like that, but its just a fresh instance!
You cannot have the field values associated with the record.BTW ... y do u wanna send the object itself to your class method?

Are you still facing this issue.
Did you get the solution for this?
