Generating partner.jar for Salesforce API Integration

󰃭 2014-11-12

I ran into a small issue recently when setting up a Java project to use the Salesforce APIs.

Basically, you need to download a WSDL file from Salesforce, then use a tool made by them to generate a jar that you then include in your Java program.

They instruct you to download force-wsc.jar and then run it, but when you run it you realize they didn’t pack the dependencies within the jar!

To solve this problem, you need to download the following jars:

And then run force-wsc.jar, including the dependencies in the classpath:

$ java -classpath force-wsc-32.1.1.jar:js-1.7R2.jar:ST-4.0.7.jar \
  com.sforce.ws.tools.wsdlc partner.wsdl partner-32.1.1.jar

Please note these were the versions that worked for me. If your force-wsc.jar is a different version, check if you need to include other version of its dependencies.

Using AsyncLocalStorage for Better Traceability in NodeJS Applications

󰃭 2024-09-29 | #javascript #nodejs #tutorials

NodeJS has a neat API called AsyncLocalStorage. It’s used to share information across callbacks and promise chains. For example, it is useful to share information for all the code executed when serving a web request. I also found it very useful to keep trace information to easily keep track of which item was being processed during a batch process. The only caveat in my opinion, is that you need to wrap your code in yet another callback.
