setting session ID in the soap header

[ami.g...@gmail.com]

Hi All,

I'm trying to use the Salesforce.com SOAP API. The login call returns
a session ID that should be set in the SOAP header of subsequent calls.
After much searching, I found an example of how to do this, but it
doesn't seem to work - I assume the soap4r api has changed since the
example was written.

Can anybody provide a short description of how this is done?

I know about ClientAuthHeaderHandler, but I can't figure out how it's
supposed to be used.

Regards, and thanks in advance for any help,

Ami.

Ok, I've made some progress. I've managed to add a field to the header
by modifying an example I found elsewhere:

-----

class ClientAuthHeaderHandler < SOAP::Header::SimpleHandler
MyHeaderName = XSD::QName.new("urn:partner.soap.sforce.com",
"sessionId")

attr_accessor :sessionid

def initialize
super(MyHeaderName)
@sessionid = nil
end

def on_simple_outbound
if @sessionid
{ "sessionid" => @sessionid }
end
end

def on_simple_inbound(my_header, mustunderstand)
@sessionid = my_header["sessionid"]
end
end

----

It still doesn't work (invalid session id), possibly because the
request should resemble this (from the Salesforce.com documentation):
<ns2:sessionId

xmlns:ns2="urn:enterprise.soap.sforce.com">uejMEgecf8yidA3zCjXlNKOSU</
ns2:sessionId>

but I'm producing this:
<sessionid>vWBLOmDK9MI6Xv9U4eTDteaH1xyGi1</sessionid>

I figure I have to use "XSD::QName.new" somewhere, but everywhere I've
tried gives incorrect results (and I obviously don't understand how
these classes are used).

Help?

... Ami.

Hi,

Sorry for late reply.

Hmm. Is this a typo, 'sessionid', not 'sessionId' ? session*I*d.

According to the above example, I think this should work.

def on_simple_outbound
if @sessionid
{ XSD::QName.new("urn:enterprise.soap.sforce.com",
"sessionId") => @sessionid }
end
end

But the only WSDL I know is partner.wsdl, which does not define
'urn:enterprise.soap.sforce.com'. I can be wrong...

It worked! Thanks a million!

There were a number of problems with the code I posted earlier,
including the case of off sessionId. I had figured those out, but I
still needed your little snippet to put the rest together. I'm using
the partner WSDL, although the example I had cut from the documentation
uses the enterprise WSDL. I think they're the same except the
enterprise WSDL is more strongly typed.

By the way, I had tried earlier to import the WSDL, but it I kept
getting errors (I can't remember exactly, something about nil values I
think). If you think this should work I can try again and post the
results.

Regards,
Ami.

Good to hear.

Thanks in advance. Please show me the results. Early snapshot versions
have many problems about parsing full(?) featured XML Schema definition
(+WSDL). I wrote many code in this half of a year but test is still not
enough.
