Chapter 42. Salesforce


Both producer and consumer are supported

This component supports producer and consumer endpoints to communicate with Salesforce using Java DTOs.
There is a companion maven plugin Camel Salesforce Plugin that generates these DTOs (see further below).

Maven users will need to add the following dependency to their pom.xml for this component:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.camel</groupId>
    <artifactId>camel-salesforce</artifactId>
    <version>{CamelSBVersion}</version>
    <!-- use the same version as your Camel core version -->
</dependency>
Note

Developers wishing to contribute to the component are instructed to look at the README.md file on instructions on how to get started and setup your environment for running integration tests.

42.1. Configuring Options

Camel components are configured on two separate levels:

  • component level
  • endpoint level

42.1.1. Configuring Component Options

The component level is the highest level which holds general and common configurations that are inherited by the endpoints. For example a component may have security settings, credentials for authentication, urls for network connection and so forth.

Some components only have a few options, and others may have many. Because components typically have pre configured defaults that are commonly used, then you may often only need to configure a few options on a component; or none at all.

Configuring components can be done with the Component DSL, in a configuration file (application.properties|yaml), or directly with Java code.

42.1.2. Configuring Endpoint Options

Where you find yourself configuring the most is on endpoints, as endpoints often have many options, which allows you to configure what you need the endpoint to do. The options are also categorized into whether the endpoint is used as consumer (from) or as a producer (to), or used for both.

Configuring endpoints is most often done directly in the endpoint URI as path and query parameters. You can also use the Endpoint DSL as a type safe way of configuring endpoints.

A good practice when configuring options is to use Property Placeholders, which allows to not hardcode urls, port numbers, sensitive information, and other settings. In other words placeholders allows to externalize the configuration from your code, and gives more flexibility and reuse.

The following two sections lists all the options, firstly for the component followed by the endpoint.

Value to use for the Audience claim (aud) when using OAuth JWT flow. If not set, the login URL will be used, which is appropriate in most cases.

 

String

keystore (security)

KeyStore parameters to use in OAuth JWT flow. The KeyStore should contain only one entry with private key and certificate. Salesforce does not verify the certificate chain, so this can easily be a selfsigned certificate. Make sure that you upload the certificate to the corresponding connected app.

String

refreshToken (security)

Refresh token already obtained in the refresh token OAuth flow. One needs to setup a web application and configure a callback URL to receive the refresh token, or configure using the builtin callback at https://login.salesforce.com/services/oauth2/success or https://test.salesforce.com/services/oauth2/success and then retrive the refresh_token from the URL at the end of the flow.

42.4. Authenticating to Salesforce

The component supports three OAuth authentication flows:

For each of the flow different set of properties needs to be set:

Table 42.1. Table 1. Properties to set for each authentication flow
PropertyWhere to find it on SalesforceFlow

clientId

Connected App, Consumer Key

All flows

clientSecret

Connected App, Consumer Secret

Username-Password, Refresh Token

userName

Salesforce user username

Username-Password, JWT Bearer Token

password

Salesforce user password

Username-Password

refreshToken

From OAuth flow callback

Refresh Token

keystore

Connected App, Digital Certificate

JWT Bearer Token

The component auto determines what flow you’re trying to configure, to be remove ambiguity set the authenticationType property.

Note

Using Username-Password Flow in production is not encouraged.

Note

The certificate used in JWT Bearer Token Flow can be a selfsigned certificate. The KeyStore holding the certificate and the private key must contain only single certificate-private key entry.

42.5. URI format

When used as a consumer, receiving streaming events, the URI scheme is:

salesforce:topic?options

When used as a producer, invoking the Salesforce REST APIs, the URI scheme is:

salesforce:operationName?options

42.6. Passing in Salesforce headers and fetching Salesforce response headers

There is support to pass Salesforce headers via inbound message headers, header names that start with Sforce or x-sfdc on the Camel message will be passed on in the request, and response headers that start with Sforce will be present in the outbound message headers.

For example to fetch API limits you can specify:

// in your Camel route set the header before Salesforce endpoint
//...
  .setHeader("Sforce-Limit-Info", constant("api-usage"))
  .to("salesforce:getGlobalObjects")
  .to(myProcessor);

// myProcessor will receive `Sforce-Limit-Info` header on the outbound
// message
class MyProcessor implements Processor {
    public void process(Exchange exchange) throws Exception {
        Message in = exchange.getIn();
        String apiLimits = in.getHeader("Sforce-Limit-Info", String.class);
   }
}

In addition, HTTP response status code and text are available as headers Exchange.HTTP_RESPONSE_CODE and Exchange.HTTP_RESPONSE_TEXT.

42.7. Supported Salesforce APIs

The component supports the following Salesforce APIs

Producer endpoints can use the following APIs. Most of the APIs process one record at a time, the Query API can retrieve multiple Records.

  • compositeUpdateSObjectCollections - Update up to 200 records, returning a list of SaveSObjectResult objects.
  • compositeUpsertSObjectCollections - Create or update (upsert) up to 200 records based on an external ID field. Returns a list of UpsertSObjectResult objects.
  • compositeDeleteSObjectCollections - Delete up to 200 records, returning a list of SaveSObjectResult objects.
  • queryAll - Runs a SOQL query. It returns the results that are deleted because of a merge (merges up to three records into one of the records, deletes the others, and reparents any related records) or delete. Also returns the information about archived Task and Event records.
  • getBlobField - Retrieves the specified blob field from an individual record.
  • apexCall - Executes a user defined APEX REST API call.
  • raw - Send requests to salesforce and have full, raw control over endpoint, parameters, body, etc.

For example, the following producer endpoint uses the upsertSObject API, with the sObjectIdName parameter specifying 'Name' as the external id field. The request message body should be an SObject DTO generated using the maven plugin. The response message will either be null if an existing record was updated, or CreateSObjectResult with an id of the new record, or a list of errors while creating the new object.

...to("salesforce:upsertSObject?sObjectIdName=Name")...

42.7.2. Bulk 2.0 API

The Bulk 2.0 API has a simplified model over the original Bulk API. Use it to quickly load a large amount of data into salesforce, or query a large amount of data out of salesforce. Data must be provided in CSV format. The minimum API version for Bulk 2.0 is v41.0. The minimum API version for Bulk Queries is v47.0. DTO classes mentioned below are from the org.apache.camel.component.salesforce.api.dto.bulkv2 package. The following operations are supported:

  • bulk2CreateJob - Create a bulk job. Supply an instance of Job in the message body.
  • bulk2GetJob - Get an existing Job. jobId parameter is required.
  • bulk2CreateBatch - Add a Batch of CSV records to a job. Supply CSV data in the message body. The first row must contain headers. jobId parameter is required.
  • bulk2CloseJob - Close a job. You must close the job in order for it to be processed or aborted/deleted. jobId parameter is required.
  • bulk2AbortJob - Abort a job. jobId parameter is required.
  • bulk2DeleteJob - Delete a job. jobId parameter is required.
  • bulk2GetSuccessfulResults - Get successful results for a job. Returned message body will contain an InputStream of CSV data. jobId parameter is required.
  • bulk2GetFailedResults - Get failed results for a job. Returned message body will contain an InputStream of CSV data. jobId parameter is required.
  • bulk2GetUnprocessedRecords - Get unprocessed records for a job. Returned message body will contain an InputStream of CSV data. jobId parameter is required.
  • bulk2GetAllJobs - Get all jobs. Response body is an instance of Jobs. If the done property is false, there are additional pages to fetch, and the nextRecordsUrl property contains the value to be set in the queryLocator parameter on subsequent calls.
  • bulk2CreateQueryJob - Create a bulk query job. Supply an instance of QueryJob in the message body.
  • bulk2GetQueryJob - Get a bulk query job. jobId parameter is required.
  • bulk2GetQueryJobResults - Get bulk query job results. jobId parameter is required. Accepts maxRecords and locator parameters. Response message headers include Sforce-NumberOfRecords and Sforce-Locator headers. The value of Sforce-Locator can be passed into subsequent calls via the locator parameter.
  • bulk2AbortQueryJob - Abort a bulk query job. jobId parameter is required.
  • bulk2DeleteQueryJob - Delete a bulk query job. jobId parameter is required.
  • bulk2GetAllQueryJobs - Get all jobs. Response body is an instance of QueryJobs. If the done property is false, there are additional pages to fetch, and the nextRecordsUrl property contains the value to be set in the queryLocator parameter on subsequent calls.

42.7.3. Rest Bulk (original) API

Producer endpoints can use the following APIs. All Job data formats, i.e. xml, csv, zip/xml, and zip/csv are supported.
The request and response have to be marshalled/unmarshalled by the route. Usually the request will be some stream source like a CSV file,
and the response may also be saved to a file to be correlated with the request.

You can use the following for operationName:

  • createJob - Creates a Salesforce Bulk Job. Must supply a JobInfo instance in body. PK Chunking is supported via the pkChunking* options. See an explanation here.
  • getJob - Gets a Job using its Salesforce Id
  • closeJob - Closes a Job
  • abortJob - Aborts a Job
  • createBatch - Submits a Batch within a Bulk Job
  • getBatch - Gets a Batch using Id
  • getAllBatches - Gets all Batches for a Bulk Job Id
  • getRequest - Gets Request data (XML/CSV) for a Batch
  • getResults - Gets the results of the Batch when its complete
  • createBatchQuery - Creates a Batch from an SOQL query
  • getQueryResultIds - Gets a list of Result Ids for a Batch Query
  • getQueryResult - Gets results for a Result Id
  • getRecentReports - Gets up to 200 of the reports you most recently viewed by sending a GET request to the Report List resource.
  • getReportDescription - Retrieves the report, report type, and related metadata for a report, either in a tabular or summary or matrix format.
  • executeSyncReport - Runs a report synchronously with or without changing filters and returns the latest summary data.
  • executeAsyncReport - Runs an instance of a report asynchronously with or without filters and returns the summary data with or without details.
  • getReportInstances - Returns a list of instances for a report that you requested to be run asynchronously. Each item in the list is treated as a separate instance of the report.
  • getReportResults: Contains the results of running a report.

For example, the following producer endpoint uses the createBatch API to create a Job Batch. The in message must contain a body that can be converted into an InputStream (usually UTF-8 CSV or XML content from a file, etc.) and header fields 'jobId' for the Job and 'contentType' for the Job content type, which can be XML, CSV, ZIP_XML or ZIP_CSV. The put message body will contain BatchInfo on success, or throw a SalesforceException on error.

...to("salesforce:createBatch")..

42.7.4. Rest Streaming API

Consumer endpoints can use the following syntax for streaming endpoints to receive Salesforce notifications on create/update.

To create and subscribe to a topic

from("salesforce:CamelTestTopic?notifyForFields=ALL&notifyForOperations=ALL&sObjectName=Merchandise__c&updateTopic=true&sObjectQuery=SELECT Id, Name FROM Merchandise__c")...

To subscribe to an existing topic

from("salesforce:CamelTestTopic&sObjectName=Merchandise__c")...

42.7.5. Platform events

To emit a platform event use createSObject operation. And set the message body can be JSON string or InputStream with key-value data — in that case sObjectName needs to be set to the API name of the event, or a class that extends from AbstractDTOBase with the appropriate class name for the event.

For example using a DTO:

class Order_Event__e extends AbstractDTOBase {
  @JsonProperty("OrderNumber")
  private String orderNumber;
  // ... other properties and getters/setters
}

from("timer:tick")
    .process(exchange -> {
        final Message in = exchange.getIn();
        String orderNumber = "ORD" + exchange.getProperty(Exchange.TIMER_COUNTER);
        Order_Event__e event = new Order_Event__e();
        event.setOrderNumber(orderNumber);
        in.setBody(event);
    })
    .to("salesforce:createSObject");

Or using JSON event data:

from("timer:tick")
    .process(exchange -> {
        final Message in = exchange.getIn();
        String orderNumber = "ORD" + exchange.getProperty(Exchange.TIMER_COUNTER);
        in.setBody("{\"OrderNumber\":\"" + orderNumber + "\"}");
    })
    .to("salesforce:createSObject?sObjectName=Order_Event__e");

To receive platform events use the consumer endpoint with the API name of the platform event prefixed with event/ (or /event/), e.g.: salesforce:events/Order_Event__e. Processor consuming from that endpoint will receive either org.apache.camel.component.salesforce.api.dto.PlatformEvent object or org.cometd.bayeux.Message in the body depending on the rawPayload being false or true respectively.

For example, in the simplest form to consume one event:

PlatformEvent event = consumer.receiveBody("salesforce:event/Order_Event__e", PlatformEvent.class);

42.7.6. Change data capture events

On the one hand, Salesforce could be configured to emit notifications for record changes of select objects. On the other hand, the Camel Salesforce component could react to such notifications, allowing for instance to synchronize those changes into an external system.

The notifications of interest could be specified in the from("salesforce:XXX") clause of a Camel route via the subscription channel, e.g:

from("salesforce:data/ChangeEvents?replayId=-1").log("being notified of all change events")
from("salesforce:data/AccountChangeEvent?replayId=-1").log("being notified of change events for Account records")
from("salesforce:data/Employee__ChangeEvent?replayId=-1").log("being notified of change events for Employee__c custom object")

The received message contains either java.util.Map<String,Object> or org.cometd.bayeux.Message in the body depending on the rawPayload being false or true respectively. The CamelSalesforceChangeType header could be valued to one of CREATE, UPDATE, DELETE or UNDELETE.

More details about how to use the Camel Salesforce component change data capture capabilities could be found in the ChangeEventsConsumerIntegrationTest.

The Salesforce developer guide is a good fit to better know the subtleties of implementing a change data capture integration application. The dynamic nature of change event body fields, high level replication steps as well as security considerations could be of interest.

42.8. Examples

42.8.1. Uploading a document to a ContentWorkspace

Create the ContentVersion in Java, using a Processor instance:

public class ContentProcessor implements Processor {
    public void process(Exchange exchange) throws Exception {
        Message message = exchange.getIn();

        ContentVersion cv = new ContentVersion();
        ContentWorkspace cw = getWorkspace(exchange);
        cv.setFirstPublishLocationId(cw.getId());
        cv.setTitle("test document");
        cv.setPathOnClient("test_doc.html");
        byte[] document = message.getBody(byte[].class);
        ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
        String enc = mapper.convertValue(document, String.class);
        cv.setVersionDataUrl(enc);
        message.setBody(cv);
    }

    protected ContentWorkspace getWorkSpace(Exchange exchange) {
        // Look up the content workspace somehow, maybe use enrich() to add it to a
        // header that can be extracted here
        ----
    }
}

Give the output from the processor to the Salesforce component:

from("file:///home/camel/library")
    .to(new ContentProcessor())     // convert bytes from the file into a ContentVersion SObject
                                    // for the salesforce component
    .to("salesforce:createSObject");

42.9. Using Salesforce Limits API

With salesforce:limits operation you can fetch of API limits from Salesforce and then act upon that data received. The result of salesforce:limits operation is mapped to org.apache.camel.component.salesforce.api.dto.Limits class and can be used in a custom processors or expressions.

For instance, consider that you need to limit the API usage of Salesforce so that 10% of daily API requests is left for other routes. The body of output message contains an instance of org.apache.camel.component.salesforce.api.dto.Limits object that can be used in conjunction with Content Based Router and Content Based Router and Spring Expression Language (SpEL) to choose when to perform queries.

Notice how multiplying 1.0 with the integer value held in body.dailyApiRequests.remaining makes the expression evaluate as with floating point arithmetic, without it - it would end up making integral division which would result with either 0 (some API limits consumed) or 1 (no API limits consumed).

from("direct:querySalesforce")
    .to("salesforce:limits")
    .choice()
    .when(spel("#{1.0 * body.dailyApiRequests.remaining / body.dailyApiRequests.max < 0.1}"))
        .to("salesforce:query?...")
    .otherwise()
        .setBody(constant("Used up Salesforce API limits, leaving 10% for critical routes"))
    .endChoice()

42.10. Working with approvals

All the properties are named exactly the same as in the Salesforce REST API prefixed with approval.. You can set approval properties by setting approval.PropertyName of the Endpoint these will be used as template — meaning that any property not present in either body or header will be taken from the Endpoint configuration. Or you can set the approval template on the Endpoint by assigning approval property to a reference onto a bean in the Registry.

You can also provide header values using the same approval.PropertyName in the incoming message headers.

And finally body can contain one AprovalRequest or an Iterable of ApprovalRequest objects to process as a batch.

The important thing to remember is the priority of the values specified in these three mechanisms:

  1. value in body takes precedence before any other
  2. value in message header takes precedence before template value
  3. value in template is set if no other value in header or body was given

For example to send one record for approval using values in headers use:

Given a route:

from("direct:example1")//
        .setHeader("approval.ContextId", simple("${body['contextId']}"))
        .setHeader("approval.NextApproverIds", simple("${body['nextApproverIds']}"))
        .to("salesforce:approval?"//
            + "approval.actionType=Submit"//
            + "&approval.comments=this is a test"//
            + "&approval.processDefinitionNameOrId=Test_Account_Process"//
            + "&approval.skipEntryCriteria=true");

You could send a record for approval using:

final Map<String, String> body = new HashMap<>();
body.put("contextId", accountIds.iterator().next());
body.put("nextApproverIds", userId);

final ApprovalResult result = template.requestBody("direct:example1", body, ApprovalResult.class);

42.11. Using Salesforce Recent Items API

To fetch the recent items use salesforce:recent operation. This operation returns an java.util.List of org.apache.camel.component.salesforce.api.dto.RecentItem objects (List<RecentItem>) that in turn contain the Id, Name and Attributes (with type and url properties). You can limit the number of returned items by specifying limit parameter set to maximum number of records to return. For example:

from("direct:fetchRecentItems")
    to("salesforce:recent")
        .split().body()
            .log("${body.name} at ${body.attributes.url}");

42.12. Using Salesforce Composite API to submit SObject tree

To create up to 200 records including parent-child relationships use salesforce:composite-tree operation. This requires an instance of org.apache.camel.component.salesforce.api.dto.composite.SObjectTree in the input message and returns the same tree of objects in the output message. The org.apache.camel.component.salesforce.api.dto.AbstractSObjectBase instances within the tree get updated with the identifier values (Id property) or their corresponding org.apache.camel.component.salesforce.api.dto.composite.SObjectNode is populated with errors on failure.

Note that for some records operation can succeed and for some it can fail — so you need to manually check for errors.

Easiest way to use this functionality is to use the DTOs generated by the camel-salesforce-maven-plugin, but you also have the option of customizing the references that identify the each object in the tree, for instance primary keys from your database.

Lets look at an example:

Account account = ...
Contact president = ...
Contact marketing = ...

Account anotherAccount = ...
Contact sales = ...
Asset someAsset = ...

// build the tree
SObjectTree request = new SObjectTree();
request.addObject(account).addChildren(president, marketing);
request.addObject(anotherAccount).addChild(sales).addChild(someAsset);

final SObjectTree response = template.requestBody("salesforce:composite-tree", tree, SObjectTree.class);
final Map<Boolean, List<SObjectNode>> result = response.allNodes()
                                                   .collect(Collectors.groupingBy(SObjectNode::hasErrors));

final List<SObjectNode> withErrors = result.get(true);
final List<SObjectNode> succeeded = result.get(false);

final String firstId = succeeded.get(0).getId();

42.13. Using Salesforce Composite API to submit multiple requests in a batch

The Composite API batch operation (composite-batch) allows you to accumulate multiple requests in a batch and then submit them in one go, saving the round trip cost of multiple individual requests. Each response is then received in a list of responses with the order preserved, so that the n-th requests response is in the n-th place of the response.

Note

The results can vary from API to API so the result of the request is given as a java.lang.Object. In most cases the result will be a java.util.Map with string keys and values or other java.util.Map as value. Requests are made in JSON format and hold some type information (i.e. it is known what values are strings and what values are numbers).

Lets look at an example:

final String acountId = ...
final SObjectBatch batch = new SObjectBatch("38.0");

final Account updates = new Account();
updates.setName("NewName");
batch.addUpdate("Account", accountId, updates);

final Account newAccount = new Account();
newAccount.setName("Account created from Composite batch API");
batch.addCreate(newAccount);

batch.addGet("Account", accountId, "Name", "BillingPostalCode");

batch.addDelete("Account", accountId);

final SObjectBatchResponse response = template.requestBody("salesforce:composite-batch", batch, SObjectBatchResponse.class);

boolean hasErrors = response.hasErrors(); // if any of the requests has resulted in either 4xx or 5xx HTTP status
final List<SObjectBatchResult> results = response.getResults(); // results of three operations sent in batch

final SObjectBatchResult updateResult = results.get(0); // update result
final int updateStatus = updateResult.getStatusCode(); // probably 204
final Object updateResultData = updateResult.getResult(); // probably null

final SObjectBatchResult createResult = results.get(1); // create result
@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
final Map<String, Object> createData = (Map<String, Object>) createResult.getResult();
final String newAccountId = createData.get("id"); // id of the new account, this is for JSON, for XML it would be createData.get("Result").get("id")

final SObjectBatchResult retrieveResult = results.get(2); // retrieve result
@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
final Map<String, Object> retrieveData = (Map<String, Object>) retrieveResult.getResult();
final String accountName = retrieveData.get("Name"); // Name of the retrieved account, this is for JSON, for XML it would be createData.get("Account").get("Name")
final String accountBillingPostalCode = retrieveData.get("BillingPostalCode"); // Name of the retrieved account, this is for JSON, for XML it would be createData.get("Account").get("BillingPostalCode")

final SObjectBatchResult deleteResult = results.get(3); // delete result
final int updateStatus = deleteResult.getStatusCode(); // probably 204
final Object updateResultData = deleteResult.getResult(); // probably null

42.14. Using Salesforce Composite API to submit multiple chained requests

The composite operation allows submitting up to 25 requests that can be chained together, for instance identifier generated in previous request can be used in subsequent request. Individual requests and responses are linked with the provided reference.

Note

Composite API supports only JSON payloads.

Note

As with the batch API the results can vary from API to API so the result of the request is given as a java.lang.Object. In most cases the result will be a java.util.Map with string keys and values or other java.util.Map as value. Requests are made in JSON format hold some type information (i.e. it is known what values are strings and what values are numbers).

Lets look at an example:

SObjectComposite composite = new SObjectComposite("38.0", true);

// first insert operation via an external id
final Account updateAccount = new TestAccount();
updateAccount.setName("Salesforce");
updateAccount.setBillingStreet("Landmark @ 1 Market Street");
updateAccount.setBillingCity("San Francisco");
updateAccount.setBillingState("California");
updateAccount.setIndustry(Account_IndustryEnum.TECHNOLOGY);
composite.addUpdate("Account", "001xx000003DIpcAAG", updateAccount, "UpdatedAccount");

final Contact newContact = new TestContact();
newContact.setLastName("John Doe");
newContact.setPhone("1234567890");
composite.addCreate(newContact, "NewContact");

final AccountContactJunction__c junction = new AccountContactJunction__c();
junction.setAccount__c("001xx000003DIpcAAG");
junction.setContactId__c("@{NewContact.id}");
composite.addCreate(junction, "JunctionRecord");

final SObjectCompositeResponse response = template.requestBody("salesforce:composite", composite, SObjectCompositeResponse.class);
final List<SObjectCompositeResult> results = response.getCompositeResponse();

final SObjectCompositeResult accountUpdateResult = results.stream().filter(r -> "UpdatedAccount".equals(r.getReferenceId())).findFirst().get()
final int statusCode = accountUpdateResult.getHttpStatusCode(); // should be 200
final Map<String, ?> accountUpdateBody = accountUpdateResult.getBody();

final SObjectCompositeResult contactCreationResult = results.stream().filter(r -> "JunctionRecord".equals(r.getReferenceId())).findFirst().get()

42.15. Using "raw" Salesforce composite

It’s possible to directly call Salesforce composite by preparing the Salesforce JSON request in the route thanks to the rawPayload option.

For instance, you can have the following route:

from("timer:fire?period=2000").setBody(constant("{\n" +
     " \"allOrNone\" : true,\n" +
     " \"records\" : [ { \n" +
     "   \"attributes\" : {\"type\" : \"FOO\"},\n" +
     "   \"Name\" : \"123456789\",\n" +
     "   \"FOO\" : \"XXXX\",\n" +
     "   \"ACCOUNT\" : 2100.0\n" +
     "   \"ExternalID\" : \"EXTERNAL\"\n"
     " }]\n" +
     "}")
   .to("salesforce:composite?rawPayload=true")
   .log("${body}");

The route directly creates the body as JSON and directly submit to salesforce endpoint using rawPayload=true option.

With this approach, you have the complete control on the Salesforce request.

POST is the default HTTP method used to send raw Composite requests to salesforce. Use the compositeMethod option to override to the other supported value, GET, which returns a list of other available composite resources.

42.16. Using Raw Operation

Send HTTP requests to salesforce with full, raw control of all aspects of the call. Any serialization or deserialization of request and response bodies must be performed in the route. The Content-Type HTTP header will be automatically set based on the format option, but this can be overridden with the rawHttpHeaders option.

ParameterTypeDescriptionDefaultRequired

request body

String or InputStream

Body of the HTTP request

  

rawPath

String

The portion of the endpoint URL after the domain name, e.g., '/services/data/v51.0/sobjects/Account/'

 

x

rawMethod

String

The HTTP method

 

x

rawQueryParameters

String

Comma separated list of message headers to include as query parameters. Do not url-encode values as this will be done automatically.

  

rawHttpHeaders

String

Comma separated list of message headers to include as HTTP headers

  

42.16.1. Query example

In this example we’ll send a query to the REST API. The query must be passed in a URL parameter called "q", so we’ll create a message header called q and tell the raw operation to include that message header as a URL parameter:

from("direct:queryExample")
  .setHeader("q", "SELECT Id, LastName FROM Contact")
  .to("salesforce:raw?format=JSON&rawMethod=GET&rawQueryParameters=q&rawPath=/services/data/v51.0/query")
  // deserialize JSON results or handle in some other way

42.16.2. SObject example

In this example, we’ll pass a Contact the REST API in a create operation. Since the raw operation does not perform any serialization, we make sure to pass XML in the message body

from("direct:createAContact")
  .setBody(constant("<Contact><LastName>TestLast</LastName></Contact>"))
  .to("salesforce:raw?format=XML&rawMethod=POST&rawPath=/services/data/v51.0/sobjects/Contact")

The response is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<Result>
    <id>0034x00000RnV6zAAF</id>
    <success>true</success>
</Result>

42.17. Using Composite SObject Collections

The SObject Collections API executes actions on multiple records in one request. Use sObject Collections to reduce the number of round-trips between the client and server. The entire request counts as a single call toward your API limits. This resource is available in API version 42.0 and later. SObject records (aka DTOs) supplied to these operations must be instances of subclasses of AbstractDescribedSObjectBase. See the Maven Plugin section for information on generating these DTO classes. These operations serialize supplied DTOs to JSON.

42.17.1. compositeRetrieveSObjectCollections

Retrieve one or more records of the same object type.

ParameterTypeDescriptionDefaultRequired

ids

List of String or comma-separated string

A list of one or more IDs of the objects to return. All IDs must belong to the same object type.

 

x

fields

List of String or comma-separated string

A list of fields to include in the response. The field names you specify must be valid, and you must have read-level permissions to each field.

 

x

sObjectName

String

Type of SObject, e.g. Account

 

x

sObjectClass

String

Fully-qualified class name of DTO class to use for deserializing the response.

 

Required if sObjectName parameter does not resolve to a class that exists in the package specified by the package option.

42.17.2. compositeCreateSObjectCollections

Add up to 200 records, returning a list of SaveSObjectResult objects. Mixed SObject types is supported.

ParameterTypeDescriptionDefaultRequired

request body

List of SObject

A list of SObjects to create

 

x

allOrNone

boolean

Indicates whether to roll back the entire request when the creation of any object fails (true) or to continue with the independent creation of other objects in the request.

false

 

42.17.3. compositeUpdateSObjectCollections

Update up to 200 records, returning a list of SaveSObjectResult objects. Mixed SObject types is supported.

ParameterTypeDescriptionDefaultRequired

request body

List of SObject

A list of SObjects to update

 

x

allOrNone

boolean

Indicates whether to roll back the entire request when the update of any object fails (true) or to continue with the independent update of other objects in the request.

false

 

42.17.4. compositeUpsertSObjectCollections

Create or update (upsert) up to 200 records based on an external ID field, returning a list of UpsertSObjectResult objects. Mixed SObject types is not supported.

ParameterTypeDescriptionDefaultRequired

request body

List of SObject

A list of SObjects to upsert

 

x

allOrNone

boolean

Indicates whether to roll back the entire request when the upsert of any object fails (true) or to continue with the independent upsert of other objects in the request.

false

 

sObjectName

String

Type of SObject, e.g. Account

 

x

sObjectIdName

String

Name of External ID field

 

x

42.17.5. compositeDeleteSObjectCollections

Delete up to 200 records, returning a list of DeleteSObjectResult objects. Mixed SObject types is supported.

ParameterTypeDescriptionDefaultRequired

sObjectIds or request body

List of String or comma-separated string

A list of up to 200 IDs of objects to be deleted.

 

x

allOrNone

boolean

Indicates whether to roll back the entire request when the deletion of any object fails (true) or to continue with the independent deletion of other objects in the request.

false

 

42.18. Sending null values to salesforce

By default, SObject fields with null values are not sent to salesforce. In order to send null values to salesforce, use the fieldsToNull property, as follows:

accountSObject.getFieldsToNull().add("Site");

42.19. Generating SOQL query strings

org.apache.camel.component.salesforce.api.utils.QueryHelper contains helper methods to generate SOQL queries. For instance to fetch all custom fields from Account SObject you can simply generate the SOQL SELECT by invoking:

String allCustomFieldsQuery = QueryHelper.queryToFetchFilteredFieldsOf(new Account(), SObjectField::isCustom);

42.20. Camel Salesforce Maven Plugin

This Maven plugin generates DTOs for the Camel.

For obvious security reasons it is recommended that the clientId, clientSecret, userName and password fields be not set in the pom.xml. The plugin should be configured for the rest of the properties, and can be executed using the following command:

mvn camel-salesforce:generate -DcamelSalesforce.clientId=<clientid> -DcamelSalesforce.clientSecret=<clientsecret> \
    -DcamelSalesforce.userName=<username> -DcamelSalesforce.password=<password>

The generated DTOs use Jackson annotations. All Salesforce field types are supported. Date and time fields are mapped to java.time.ZonedDateTime by default, and picklist fields are mapped to generated Java Enumerations.

Please refer to README.md for details on how to generate the DTO.

42.21. Spring Boot Auto-Configuration
