I may be jumping the gun. I plan to download Eclipse and follow the instructions I found on another note about installing it and using it.
But I have not seen much information on the SF web site about S-Controls. I guess there is a Java Library that they can tie into. What can and can not be done and how?
My first hope is that there is a reference guide somewhere. Second to that would be a tutorial. Third would be some sample code.
I maybe should post this in the Python forum but I do not think anyone there is actually doing Python... plus, this is somewhat generic.
I'm trying to get Python using ZSI to work. I got past the login and I figured out how to tuck the session id into a soap header -- which required adding to ZSI. I can getServerTimestamp, describeGlobal, and describeSObjects.
With describeSObjects, I just pass an array of string and that works. The argument type is array of sObjects.
I'm now trying to use the create method. I may be doing the hardest task first because I'm trying to create a "Time_Record" -- a custom object that I have defined. I can not get it to work or even come close.
Two questions:
1) what would be an easy thing to create? It may help to create something that is easy to create first and then move on to trying to create a customer object. (I'm not trying to define the customer object, just create an instance of it.)
2) can someone paste what the out going soap message should look like? I am having a hard time understanding how an SObject magically becomes a Time_Record -- or any other specific type.
I am trying to use Python. I'm using ZSI as my SOAP/WSDL library. I guess my first question is, for login, what URL do I start out at? If I put "http://www.salesforce.com" like the documentation implies, ZSI is not happy because it gets back html instead of xml and I get this message:
TypeError: Response is "text/html", not "text/xml"
Plus, what I get back is not soap but just the regular front page to salesforce.com
If I let it go to the URL that is embedded in the WSDL file, then I get back this message:
ZSI.FaultException: UNKNOWN_EXCEPTION: Destination URL not reset. The URL returned from login must be set in the SforceService
I've tried a few alternate things -- just guesses. But, so far, I haven't found the magic URL to go to.

I have been playing with the appexchange.schema query tool in eclipse today. I managed to do a Soql-R query for bring back contacts and accounts.
I was wondering if there wa a way to filter on the subset. I.E. Return all Accounts with contatcs something like this:
Select a.Id, (Select AccountId From Contacts where LastModifiedDate>=2006-05-10T16:30:00.001-08:00) From Account a where Contacts != null or a.LastModifiedDate>=2006-05-10T16:30:00.001-08:00
This query should return all accounts that have been modified since 2006-05-10T16:30:00.001-08:00 or accounts where the contact has been modified since 2006-05-10T16:30:00.001-08:00
