What It Does
How to use the sforce 3.0 Workshop Custom Control
To install the sforce packaged control, simply download the file sforceControl.zip into your /ext_components directory (by default this will be C:/bea/ext_components). The sforce 3.0 control will appear on the Insert / Control menu. The first time you insert this control into a container in an application, the control and its associated schema jars will be copied into the APP-INF/LIB folder. If this is the first time you have inserted the sforce control on your workstation,
  1. The control's help files are copied into /weblogic81/workshop/help/doc/en/partners/SalesForce and a re-indexing of help initiated (which may take several minutes).
  2. The sample applications included with the control are copied under /weblogic81/samples/partners/controlhaus_sforce.
  3. After you type in an instance name and hit ok, the sforce Explorer extension is installed on the workstation into /weblogic81/workshop/extensions. You need to restart workshop to see this.

After you have installed the sForce 3.0 Workshop Custom control you can use the exposed methods on the control.

If you are an active SalesForce.com customer who has custom fields defined for your account, you will want to install your own copy of the enterprise.wsdl file into a schema project in your application. Use the button in the middle of the Insert Control dialog to do this. Be sure that you end up with only one schema-type jar in the Libraries folder. The one named "sforceSchemas.jar". If you already have a schema project for this application and you download a new WSDL the resulting jar will have the name of the schema project.

To run the sample appliations, you will need to set the Server properties to point to your weblogic server. The samples require the following domains:
  1. sforceWebServiceSample requires only a workshop domain. This application is useful for testing your installation of the control.
  2. sforceFinishedSample requires an integration domain. It demonstrates a NetUI pageFlow application which also uses a jpf process.
  3. sforcePortalSample requires a portal domain and shows how a great application can be built using the Workshop custom sforce control.
