Just for fun (and learning by doing), I have written a Salesforce component for Apache Camel. It is not feature-complete, just some methods of the Salesforce API are supported.
There are two alternatives for communicating with Salesforce: 1) Use Java API (this is what it did for my component): My favorite, but the user has to create a company-specific WSDL file and generate Java classes. See http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/api/Content/sforce_api_quickstart_steps.htm 2) Use REST API: Do simple HTTP(S) calls. IMO, using Java API is much more comfortable for development. However, I think it is ugly and a no-go that every user of the salesforce component has to create its own classes ?! If I write a component which should be added to an upcoming Camel release, then I have to use REST API, right? What API / Library do you have to use for doing REST calls from a Java component? ----- Best regards, Kai Wähner Twitter: @KaiWaehner Email: kont...@kai-waehner.de Blog: www.kai-waehner.de/blog -- View this message in context: http://camel.465427.n5.nabble.com/Salesforce-Component-Design-Questions-tp5713724.html Sent from the Camel - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
