Passing parameters to an external web services method

Hi everyone,

I am trying to call a method on an external web service from my apex class and passing a few parameters
The values is passed from a trigger to the class which is successfully received.
My issue is now to pass those values to the external web service method.

Please see my code below and let me know what I am doing wrong here.
Thanks

@Jacobus:

Have a question for you! Are you sure whether you should use REST based webservice in this case ? just asking beacuse I see a soap WSDL when i navigate to the endpoint and click Service description!

Thanks,
Balaji

Hi Balaji,

Appreciate your response.

I am a newbie when coming to calling web services and to establish when to use REST or SOAP.

Would very much appreciate it, if you could point me in the right direction.
Perhaps sample code.

Thank you,

You can find enough information to start with in the below links:

1) Consuming SOAP Service

https://help.salesforce.com/HTViewHelpDoc?id=code_wsdl_to_package.htm&language=en_US

2) Consuming REST Service

https://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/apexcode/Content/apex_classes_restful_http_httprequest.htm

You can find the call out limitations in the below link:

https://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/apexcode/Content/apex_callouts_wsdl2apex_considerations.htm

And one more thing., when i clicked on service description on the link provided by you as endpoint, i noticed it has more than one ports and multiple SOAP bindings, which wsdl to apex functionality wont accept to parse the wsdl.

Not sure if it can solve your problem but definitely helps you!

Thanks,
balaji

I created an instance of the web service method in my trigger

UpliftmentRequestWSDL.SumbitReleaseFromThirdParty stub = new UpliftmentRequestWSDL.SumbitReleaseFromThirdParty();

How would I pass those values as an object to the web service method?

Before answering that, i would recommend you to take a look at this below link:

https://help.salesforce.com/apex/HTViewSolution?id=000176570&language=en_US

You can not call a webservice method directly from trigger! for which you need an other class to be referenced in the trigger which has Future Annotation (@Future) specified method which invokes the webservice you need. Once you understand this link, we can proceed with the implementation of your requirement.

Thanks,
Balaji

Hi Balaji,

Thank you, I created an extra class with @future.
This works fine.

Below is a web service method that only display a list of values when you call it.
Please advise how to call this method from my @future class?

public UpliftmentRequestWSDL.ArrayOfGenericListItem GetSalesForceInsurersDDL() {
UpliftmentRequestWSDL.GetSalesForceInsurersDDL_element request_x = new UpliftmentRequestWSDL.GetSalesForceInsurersDDL_element();
UpliftmentRequestWSDL.GetSalesForceInsurersDDLResponse_element response_x;
Map<String, UpliftmentRequestWSDL.GetSalesForceInsurersDDLResponse_element> response_map_x = new Map<String, UpliftmentRequestWSDL.GetSalesForceInsurersDDLResponse_element>();
response_map_x.put('response_x', response_x);
WebServiceCallout.invoke(
this,
request_x,
response_map_x,
new String[]{endpoint_x,
'http://releasestest.firstmanagement.co.za/GetSalesForceInsurersDDL',
'http://releasestest.firstmanagement.co.za/',
'GetSalesForceInsurersDDL',
'http://releasestest.firstmanagement.co.za/',
'GetSalesForceInsurersDDLResponse',
'UpliftmentRequestWSDL.GetSalesForceInsurersDDLResponse_element'}
);
response_x = response_map_x.get('response_x');
return response_x.GetSalesForceInsurersDDLResult;
}
}

Hi Balaji,

OK, so I managed to call the GET web service methods in my @future class and also passing the applicable objects......learning lots here :-)

When I call the web services method from my @future class, I now want to see a response to see what is been retrieved from the web service method ?

I want to write the results to a list or map from the response

UpliftmentRequestWSDL.SumbitReleaseFromThirdParty stub = new UpliftmentRequestWSDL.SumbitReleaseFromThirdParty();
stub.GetSalesForceInsurersDDL();

@Jacobus.,

Nice.,

Since the return type for the method GetSalesforceInsurersDDL is UpliftmentRequestWSDL.ArrayOfGenericListItem in the code it will be

UpliftmentRequestWSDL.ArrayOfGenericListItem GenericListItem=stub.GetSalesForceInsurersDDL(); System.debug(' Retuned Result *****'+GenericListItem);
Or you also can do:

System.debug(' Retuned Result *****'+stub.GetSalesForceInsurersDDL());
just to see what you were getting back.,

Try those and let me know.,

Thanks,
balaji

Hi Balaji,

Thank you very much, it works perfect!

This is the return result :

GenericListItem:[apex_schema_type_info=(http://releasestest.firstmanagement.co.za/, true, false),
field_order_type_info=(value, text),
text=ALEXANDER FORBES (PTY)LTD,
text_type_info=(text, http://releasestest.firstmanagement.co.za/, null, 0, 1, false),
value=26, value_type_info=(value, http://releasestest.firstmanagement.co.za/, null, 0, 1, false)],
GenericListItem:[apex_schema_type_info=(http://releasestest.firstmanagement.co.za/, true, false), field_order_type_info=(value, text), text=ZURICH INSURANCE, text_type_info=(text, http://releasestest.firstmanagement.co.za/, null, 0, 1, false), value=347, value_type_info=(value, http://releasestest.firstmanagement.co.za/, null, 0, 1, false)]),
GenericListItem_type_info=(GenericListItem, http://releasestest.firstmanagement.co.za/, null, 0, -1, true), apex_schema_type_info=(http://releasestest.firstmanagement.co.za/, true, false), field_order_type_info=(GenericListItem)]}

The values I am looking to retrieve is the following:
text=ALEXANDER FORBES (PTY)LTD
value=26

AND

text=ZURICH INSURANCE
value=347

I need to now use the values in the response.
Some would be ArrayOfGenericlists and others will be ArrayOfString.

I want to now add these values to a MAP or LIST ?

Trying something like below, but this only gives me the response as well.


        MAP<string, UpliftmentRequestWSDL.ArrayOfGenericListItem> inmap = new MAP<string, UpliftmentRequestWSDL.ArrayOfGenericListItem>();
               inmap.put('response x', insurers);
