Re: [teiid-users] Are there newer versions of the SalesForce connector for 6.2?

Here's the outcome of my attempts to authenticate against SalesForce using the Teiid connector. Please note that my credentials work fine in logging into the test system's UI, invoking plain old web services via JAX-RPC SOAP messages, or by means of using Mule's SalesForce connector. In the former case (JAXRPC-SOAP), I'm invoking the Enterprise API at this URL: https://test.salesforce.com/services/Soap/c/18.0 In the latter case (Mule + SalesForce endpoint), I'm invoking the Partner API at this URL: https://test.salesforce.com/services/Soap/u/14.0 In all cases, I'm using my credentials with user id and password + security token. When attempting to use the Teiid designer, when I click "Validate Credentials", I get the following outcomes: 1. Against the default connection URL: https://test.salesforce.com/services/Soap/u/10.0 I get: INVALID_LOGIN: Invalid username, password, security token; or user Locked out. 2. Against the version 14 URL (which works with Mule ESB) I get: org.xml.sax.SAXException: Invalid element in com.sforce.soap.partner.LoginResult - sandbox If I have time, I'll set up a proxy where I can compare the Mule SOAP messages against Teiid's to see how Mule is successfully authenticating against the same URL. - Mike ______________________________________________________________________ From: John Doyle <jdoyle(a)redhat.com&gt; To: Mike Mascari <mascarim(a)yahoo.com&gt; Cc: teiid-users(a)lists.jboss.org Sent: Thu, June 10, 2010 10:22:35 AM Subject: Re: [teiid-users] Are there newer versions of the SalesForce connector for 6.2? Hi Mike, The 6.2 versions of the connector and importer are built against version 15 of the API. There were changes in version 16 of the API that make 6.2 incompatible with version later than 15. The forthcoming release is built with version 17 of the API. The URL that you see in the importer for version 10 is just an oversight, the value was never updated when we moved from version 10 to 14. There is also a JIRA on the validation issue. (https://jira.jboss.org/browse/TEIIDDES-418) The reason you get the NPE is because this defect allowed you to click Next if you attempted to revalidate after a failed validation. Not to insult you, I don't know your level of knowledge about SalesForce, but I assume you have a salesforce test instance? The importer and the connector will by default connect to the standard SalesForce URL if you don't supply a value in that box. I suggest allowing the importer to connect to the default URL as a first step just to ensure that your install is in good shape. If that succeeds, than try it with the 15 version of the test URL, but I can't say that it will work. The SalesForce API doc for version 15 of the API still list https://test.salesforce.com/services/Soap/u/10.0 as the sandbox URL. Also, ensure that you're using password+securitytoken as your password. As far as supporting the Enterprise API, it's something that I considered when initially implementing the SF solution for Teiid, but decided upon the Partner API. What do you consider the advantages of the Enterprise API? ~john ----- "Mike Mascari" <mascarim(a)yahoo.com&gt; wrote: > > > A few additional notes: > > 1.
