Is there a simpler way to deal with dates and times in apex other than calculating based on milliseconds? I've found the date/datetime operations to be quite gimped in Apex. I appreciate the ability to add days, seconds etc.. Where are the subtract and comparison methods? I'm coming from a C# background, bare with me here.

 

I have various things i need to accomplish, some are very straightforward.. Others are not. 

 

Checking whether a date/datetime is:

 

- Before another date/datetime

- Less/more than N days before a date/datetime

- Is before a certain time (and how to get the delta between the two, IE in the form of a TimeSpan or equivalent..)

 

Please any help would be appreciated, i do not have any code examples to provide. I am hoping for an elegant solution that will not steer me even further away from salesforce.

 

Thanks

Hi,

 

I just want to create a record in an object when i click button on the detail page.I have made the logic in an Apex class and calling the method by using javascript. Please see the following code

 

try
{
{!REQUIRESCRIPT("/soap/ajax/10.0/connection.js")}
{!REQUIRESCRIPT("/soap/ajax/10.0/apex.js")}
  
    var opportunityName ="{!Opportunity.Id}";
   alert("Hi");
   alert(opportunityName);
   sforce.apex.execute("QuoteToOrderConverterController","QuoteToOrderConverter", {a:opportunityName});
}
 catch(e)
{
alert("Error while converting from Quote to Order");
}

 

 

 

 

Here it 's showing Error as  {faultcode: 'soapenv:client', faultString: ' No Operation available for request {http://soap.sforce.com/schemas/package/QuoteToOrderConverterController}QuoteToOrderConverter,please checkthe WSDL for the Service.' ,}

 

Please assist.

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Hi All,

I need to select all the fields ( like accountName, accountNumber etc ) of Account ( or any sobject ) through SOQL.

I constructed the select qurey as follows.

DescribeSObjectResult res = binding.describeSObject( "Account" );
Field[] fields = res.getFields();
String expr = "";
for( int i=0; i < fields.length-1; i++ )
{
expr += fields[i].getName() + ", ";
}
expr += fields[ fields.length - 1 ].getName();

String qry = "Select " + expr + " from Account";
QueryResult res = binding.query( qry );

While executing this, I am getting following exception.

Is there any easier way to achieve this!

Kindly help me solve this problem!

Regards,
Ganesh Kumar N.S.A
