In my company we are creating an integration between Salesforce and our Product system. We are using the APEX REST to communicate between our system to Salesforce.
The integration I’ve built is a server-to-server integration, what is the best-practice of building a server-to-server REST integration?
I’ve found an article in Stack Overflow that mentioned logging-in using SOAP and then calling REST services using the SOAP session-Id, but it seems like hacking to me, can you please point me to the right direction?
I dunno if I just suck, or if I'm really pushing this parser. I am making a call to facebook to get user data. The user data comes back as JSON. Most of it is simple string data. There are 3 fields that are arrays. Those arrays contain only 2 items (id and name). I have attempted to create the class based on the JSON and deserialize into it. I am receiving another salesforce system error.
System.UnexpectedException: Salesforce System Error: 996229906-358 (-433257328) (-433257328) An unexpected error has occurred. Your solution provider has been notified. (system)
Here is the json I am attempting to parse (cleaned up a bit)
Here is the code I am trying to run. You should be able to run this in execute anonymous. I have tried running it regular as well (being invoked by the page, which has the class as a controller) and get the same error either way.
string jsonData = '{ "id": "XXXXX", "name": "XXXXXX XXXXXXX", "first_name": "XXXXXX", "last_name": "XXXXXX", "link": "http://www.facebook.com/XXXXXX", "username": "XXXXXX", "about": "some data about the person.", "birthday": "00/00/0000", "hometown": { "id": "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX", "name": "Somewhere, New York" }, "location": { "id": "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX", "name": "Nowhere, Nevada" }, "bio": "This is some demo text", "inspirational_people": [ { "id": "109425469076258", "name": "Miyamoto Musashi" }, { "id": "112377255503169", "name": "Kenshin Himura" }, { "id": "135952326470380", "name": "Spike Spiegel" }, { "id": "146133595436195", "name": "Kamina" }, { "id": "12534674842", "name": "Albert Einstein" }, { "id": "184049470633", "name": "Bruce Lee" } ], "gender": "male", "email": "XXXXXX@XXXXXX.com", "timezone": -4, "locale": "en_US", "verified": true, "updated_time": "2011-11-07T21:17:55+0000" }';
class facebookUser
{
public string id;
public string name;
public string first_name;
public string last_name;
public string link;
public string username;
public string about;
public string birthday;
public string gender;
public string email;
public string timezone;
public string locale;
public string verified;
public string updated_time;
public list<dataItem> hometown;
public list<dataItem> location;
public list<dataItem> inspirational_people;
public facebookUser(string id, string name, string first_name, string last_name, string link, string username, string about, string birthday, string gender, string email, string timeZone, string locale, string verified, string updated_time)
{
this.id = id;
this.name = name;
this.first_name = first_name;
this.last_name = last_name;
this.link = link;
this.username = username;
this.about = about;
this.birthday = birthday;
this.gender = gender;
this.email = email;
this.timeZone = timeZone;
this.locale = locale;
this.verified = verified;
this.updated_time = updated_time;
this.hometown = new list<dataItem>();
this.location = new list<dataItem>();
this.inspirational_people = new list<dataItem>();
}
}
class dataItem
{
public string id;
public string name;
public dataItem(string id, string name)
{
this.id = id;
this.name = name;
}
}
//I have tried deserializing to a list, as well as a single object
list<facebookUser> d = (list<facebookUser>)JSON.deserialize( jsonData,facebookUser.class);
//This fails too facebookUser d = (facebookUser)JSON.deserialize( jsonData,facebookUser.class);
Any thoughts would be much appreciated. Thank you.
