|
BEFORE YOU BEGIN |
|
|
|
Before you begin the tutorials, you’ll need to install the Warehouse data model in your organization, create a Heroku developer account, |
|
and install the Heroku Toolbelt software on your local workstation. |
|
|
|
Step 1: Install the Warehouse Data Model |
|
|
|
This workbook uses a set of objects that represent a simple warehouse management system. To install these objects into your developer |
|
organization: |
|
|
|
1. |
|
|
|
If you don’t have a Developer Edition account, sign up for one at http://sforce.co/1ugNn2R. |
|
|
|
2. Navigate to https://login.salesforce.com/packaging/installPackage.apexp?p0=04ti0000000Pi7P in your browser. |
|
|
|
3. Log in using your Developer Edition organization username and password. |
|
|
|
4. On the Package Installation Details page, click Continue. |
|
|
|
5. Click Next. On the Security Level page, click Next. On the following page, click Install. |
|
|
|
6. You’ll also want to add some sample records. Select the Warehouse app from the drop-down app menu in the upper-right corner |
|
|
|
of your current Salesforce page. |
|
|
|
7. Click the Data tab, and then click Create Data to add sample records. |
|
|
|
Note: After you’ve gone through this workbook, you can uninstall the Warehouse data model and sample data from your |
|
organization by navigating to Installed Packages under Setup and deleting the Warehouse package. |
|
|
|
Step 2: Create a Heroku Account |
|
|
|
Heroku is a cloud application platform separate from Force.com. It provides a powerful Platform as a Service for deploying applications |
|
in a multitude of languages, including Java. It also enables you to easily deploy your applications with industry-standard tools, such as |
|
Git. If you don’t already have a Heroku account you can create a free account as follows: |
|
|
|
1. Navigate to http://heroku.com. |
|
|
|
2. Click Sign Up. |
|
|
|
3. Enter your email address. |
|
|
|
4. Wait a few minutes for the confirmation email and follow the steps included in the email. |
|
|
|
Step 3: Install the Heroku Toolbelt |
|
|
|
The Heroku Toolbelt is a free set of software tools that you’ll need to work with Heroku. To install the Heroku Toolbelt: |
|
|
|
1. Navigate to https://toolbelt.heroku.com. |
|
|
|
2. Select your development platform (Mac OS X, Windows, Debian/Ubuntu). |

TUTORIAL #1: CREATE A NEW HEROKU APPLICATION |
|
|
|
Heroku provides a powerful Platform as a Service for deploying applications in a multitude of languages, including Java. In this tutorial, |
|
you create a Web application using the Java Spring MVC framework to mimic handling fulfillment requests from our Warehouse |
|
application. |
|
|
|
Familiarity with Java is helpful, but not required for this exercise. The tutorial starts with an application template to get you up and |
|
running. You then walk through the steps to securely integrate the application with the Force.com platform. |
|
|
|
Step 1: Clone the GitHub Project |
|
|
|
Git is a distributed source control system with an emphasis on speed and ease of use. Heroku integrates directly into Git, allowing for |
|
continuous deployment of your application by pushing changes into a Heroku repository. GitHub is a Web-based hosting service for Git |
|
repositories. |
|
|
|
You start with a pre-existing Spring MVC-based application stored on GitHub. Then, as you make changes, deploy them into your Heroku |
|
account and see your updates available online via Heroku’s cloud framework. |
|
|
|
1. Open a command line terminal. For Mac OS X users, this can be done by going to the Terminal program, under |
|
|
|
Applications/Utilities. For PC users, this can be done by going to the Start Menu, and typing cmd into the Run dialog. |
|
|
|
2. Once in the command line terminal, change to a directory where you want to download the example app. For example, if your |
|
|
|
directory is “development,” type cd development. |
|
|
|
3. Execute the following command: |
|
|
|
git clone https://github.com/sbob-sfdc/spring-mvc-fulfillment-base |
|
|
|
Git downloads the existing project into a new folder, spring-mvc-fulfillment-base. |
|
|
|
Step 2: Create a Heroku Project |
|
|
|
Now that you have the project locally, you need a place to deploy it that is accessible on the Web. In this step you deploy the app on |
|
Heroku. |
|
|
|
1. |
|
|
|
In the command line terminal, change directory to the spring-mvc-fulfillment-base folder you created in the last step: |
|
|
|
cd spring-mvc-fulfillment-base |
|
|
|
2. Execute the following command to log in to Heroku (followed by Heroku login credentials, if necessary): |
|
|
|
heroku login |
|
|
|
Heroku uses Git with SSH to deploy code. If you haven’t used SSH on this machine, you’ll need to create a public key after you provide |
|
your Heroku login credentials. On Microsoft Windows, you might need to add your Git directory to your system path before you can |
|
create a public key. |
|
|
|
3. Execute the following command to create a new application on Heroku: |
|
|
|
heroku create |
|
|
|
3 |
|
|
|
Tutorial #1: Create a New Heroku Application |
|
|
|
Step 3: Test the Application |
|
|
|
Heroku creates a local Git repository as well as a new repository on its hosting framework, where you can push applications, and |
|
adds the definition for that remote deployment for your local Git repository to understand. This makes it easy to leverage Git for |
|
source control, make local edits, and deploy your application to the Heroku cloud. |
|
|
|
All application names on Heroku must be unique, so you’ll see messages like the following when Heroku creates a new app: |
|
|
|
Creating quiet-planet-3215... done |
|
|
|
Important: The output above shows that the new application name is quiet-planet-3215. You might want to copy |
|
and paste the generated name into a text file or otherwise make a note of it. Throughout this workbook, there are references |
|
to the application name that look like {appname} that should be replaced with your application name. So, if your application |
|
name is quiet-planet-3215, when a tutorial step prompts you to enter a URL with the format |
|
https://{appname}.herokuapp.com/_auth, use: |
|
https://quiet-planet-3215.herokuapp.com/_auth. |
|
|
|
4. To deploy the local code to Heroku, execute the following command: |
|
|
|
git push heroku master |
|
|
|
If prompted, select Yes to verify the authenticity of heroku.com. The deployment process will take a while as it copies files, grabs |
|
any required dependencies, compiles, and then deploys your application. |
|
|
|
5. Once the process is complete, you can preview the existing application by executing: |
|
|
|
heroku open |
|
|
|
You can also simply open https://{appname}.herokuapp.com in a browser. |
|
|
|
You now have a new Heroku application in the cloud. The first page should look like this: |
|
|
|
Tell Me More... |
|
|
|
Scroll back through the terminal log to the git push command, and you’ll see some magic. Early on, Heroku detects that the push |
|
is a Spring MVC app, so it installs Maven, builds the app, and then gets it running for you, all with just a single command. |
|
|
|
Step 3: Test the Application |
|
|
|
This step shows you how to take your application for a quick test run to verify it’s working. |
|
|
|
1. |
|
|
|
In a browser tab or window, navigate to https://{appname}.herokuapp.com. |
|
|
|
2. Click Ajax @Controller Example. |

|
|
|
3. |
|
|
|
In another browser tab or window, open the Warehouse application on your Force.com instance. |
|
|
|
4. Click Invoices and then select an existing invoice or create a new one if necessary. |
|
|
|
5. |
|
|
|
In the browser URL bar, select the invoice record ID, which is everything after salesforce.com in the URL. It should look |
|
something like a01E0000000diKc. Copy the ID to your clipboard. |
|
|
|
6. Return to the browser window or tab showing your Heroku application. |
|
|
|
7. Paste the invoice record ID into the field under Id. |
|
|
|
8. Click Create. An order is created with the Invoice ID. Note that this order is distinct from a Salesforce order record. |
|
|
|
9. Click OK. Your page looks something like: |
|
|
|
Summary |
|
|
|
Heroku’s polyglot design lets you easily deploy your applications with industry-standard tools, such as Git. Typically, teams use local |
|
development environments, like Eclipse, and in fact Heroku has released an Eclipse plug-in for seamless integration with Eclipse. You |
|
can also interact with Heroku on the command line and directly access logs and performance tools for your applications. |
|

TUTORIAL #2: CONNECT THE WAREHOUSE APP WITH AN |
|
EXTERNAL SERVICE |
|
|
|
Force.com offers several ways to integrate with external systems. For example, without writing any code, you can declare workflow rules |
|
that send outbound messages. You can implement more complex scenarios programmatically with Apex code. |
|
|
|
This tutorial teaches you how to create a Web service callout to integrate the Warehouse app with the fulfillment application you deployed |
|
in Tutorial 1. This fulfillment system, written in Java, is hosted on Heroku, but it could be any application with a Web service interface. |
|
|
|
The following diagram illustrates the example scenario requirements: when an invoice’s status changes to Closed in your Force.com |
|
system, the system sends a JSON-formatted message to the order fulfillment service running on Heroku, which then returns an order |
|
ID to the Force.com system. The order ID is then added to the invoice. |
|
|
|
Step 1: Create an External ID Field on Invoice |
|
|
|
To start, create a custom field in the invoice custom object that can store the order ID returned by the Java app running on Heroku. The |
|
field is an index into an external system, so it makes sense to make it an External ID. |
|
|
|
1. Log in to your Salesforce organization. |
|
|
|
2. Go to the Invoice Statement custom object from Setup by clicking Create > Objects > Invoice. |
|
|
|
3. Scroll down to Custom Fields & Relationships, and then click New. |
|
|
|
4. Select the Text field type, and then click Next. |
|
|
|
5. Enter OrderId as the field label, and then enter 6 as the field length. Accept the default field name OrderId. |
|
|
|
6. Select the External ID checkbox, and then click Next. |
|
|
|
7. Click Next to accept the defaults, and then click Save. |
|
|
|
Step 2: Create a Remote Site Record |
|
|
|
The Force.com platform implements very conservative security controls. By default, Force.com prohibits callouts to external sites. This |
|
step teaches you how to register the Heroku Java site in the Remote Site Settings page. |
|
|
|
1. From Setup, click Security Controls > Remote Site Settings. |
|
|
|
2. Click New Remote Site. |
|
|
|

|
|
|
Tutorial #2: Connect the Warehouse App with an External |
|
Service |
|
|
|
Step 3: Create an Integration Apex Class |
|
|
|
3. |
|
|
|
4. |
|
|
|
In the Remote Site Name field, enter FulfillmentWebService (no spaces). |
|
|
|
In the Remote Site URL field, enter https://{appname}.herokuapp.com. |
|
|
|
5. Click Save to accept the remaining default values. |
|
|
|
Now any Apex code in your app can call the fulfillment Web service that you deployed in Tutorial 1. |
|
|
|
Tell Me More... |
|
|
|
Just for fun, you can delete this remote site record and create and test the callout in Step 3 and Step 4 below to observe the error message |
|
that is generated when an app attempts to call a URL without permission. Don’t forget to come back and add the remote site record |
|
again, though! |
|
|
|
Step 3: Create an Integration Apex Class |
|
|
|
Now that your app can access an external URL, it's time to implement the callout. Apex triggers are not permitted to make synchronous |
|
Web service calls. This restriction ensures that a long-running Web service doesn’t hold a lock on a record within your Force.com app. |
|
|
|
The steps in this tutorial teach you how to build out the correct approach, which is to create an Apex class with an asynchronous method |
|
that uses the @future annotation, and then build a trigger to call the method as necessary. When the trigger calls the asynchronous |
|
method, Force.com queues the call, executes the trigger, and then releases any record locks. Eventually, when the asynchronous call |
|
reaches the top of the queue, Force.com executes the call and posts the invoice to the order fulfillment Web service running on Heroku. |
|
|
|
Start by adding the code for the asynchronous method in a new Apex class. |
|
|
|
1. From Setup, click Develop > Apex Classes. |
|
|
|
2. Click New and paste in the following code: |
|
|
|
public class Integration { |
|
|
|
// The ExternalOrder class holds a string and integer |
|
// received from the external fulfillment system. |
|
|
|
public class ExternalOrder { |
|
|
|
public String id {get; set;} |
|
public Integer order_number {get; set;} |
|
|
|
} |
|
|
|
// The postOrder method integrates the local Force.com invoicing system |
|
// with a remote fulfillment system; specifically, by posting data about |
|
// closed orders to the remote system. Functionally, the method 1) prepares |
|
// JSON-formatted data to send to the remote service, 2) makes an HTTP call |
|
// to send the prepared data to the remote service, and then 3) processes |
|
// any JSON-formatted data returned by the remote service to update the |
|
// local Invoices with the corresponding external IDs in the remote system. |
|
|
|
@future (callout=true) // indicates that this is an asynchronous call |
|
public static void postOrder(List<Id> invoiceIds) { |
|
|
|
// 1) see above |
|
|
|
// Create a JSON generator object |
|
JSONGenerator gen = JSON.createGenerator(true); |
|
|
|
7 |
|
|
|
Tutorial #2: Connect the Warehouse App with an External |
|
Service |
|
|
|
Step 3: Create an Integration Apex Class |
|
|
|
// open the JSON generator |
|
gen.writeStartArray(); |
|
// interate through the list of invoices passed in to the call |
|
// writing each invoice ID to the array |
|
for (Id invoiceId : invoiceIds) { |
|
|
|
gen.writeStartObject(); |
|
gen.writeStringField('id', invoiceId); |
|
gen.writeEndObject(); |
|
|
|
} |
|
// close the JSON generator |
|
gen.writeEndArray(); |
|
// create a string from the JSON generator |
|
String jsonOrders = gen.getAsString(); |
|
// debugging call, which you can check in debug logs |
|
System.debug('jsonOrders: ' + jsonOrders); |
|
|
|
// 2) see above |
|
|
|
// create an HTTPrequest object |
|
HttpRequest req = new HttpRequest(); |
|
// set up the HTTP request with a method, endpoint, header, and body |
|
req.setMethod('POST'); |
|
// DON'T FORGET TO UPDATE THE FOLLOWING LINE WITH YOUR APP NAME |
|
req.setEndpoint('https://{appname}.herokuapp.com/order'); |
|
req.setHeader('Content-Type', 'application/json'); |
|
req.setBody(jsonOrders); |
|
// create a new HTTP object |
|
Http http = new Http(); |
|
// create a new HTTP response for receiving the remote response |
|
// then use it to send the configured HTTPrequest |
|
HTTPResponse res = http.send(req); |
|
// debugging call, which you can check in debug logs |
|
System.debug('Fulfillment service returned '+ res.getBody()); |
|
|
|
// 3) see above |
|
|
|
// Examine the status code from the HTTPResponse |
|
// If status code != 200, write debugging information, done |
|
if (res.getStatusCode() != 200) { |
|
|
|
System.debug('Error from ' + req.getEndpoint() + ' : ' + |
|
|
|
res.getStatusCode() + ' ' + res.getStatus()); |
|
|
|
} |
|
// If status code = 200, update each Invoice |
|
// with the external ID returned by the fulfillment service. |
|
else { |
|
|
|
// Retrieve all of the Invoice records |
|
// originally passed into the method call to prep for update. |
|
List<Invoice__c> invoices = |
|
|
|
[SELECT Id FROM Invoice__c WHERE Id IN :invoiceIds]; |
|
// Create a list of external orders by deserializing the |
|
// JSON data returned by the fulfillment service. |
|
List<ExternalOrder> orders = |
|
|
|
(List<ExternalOrder>)JSON.deserialize(res.getBody(), |
|
|
|
List<ExternalOrder>.class); |
|
|
|

|
|
|
Tutorial #2: Connect the Warehouse App with an External |
|
Service |
|
|
|
Step 4: Test the @future Method |
|
|
|
// Create a map of Invoice IDs from the retrieved |
|
// invoices list. |
|
Map<Id, Invoice__c> invoiceMap = |
|
|
|
new Map<Id, Invoice__c>(invoices); |
|
|
|
// Update the order numbers in the invoices |
|
for ( ExternalOrder order : orders ) { |
|
|
|
Invoice__c invoice = invoiceMap.get(order.id); |
|
invoice.OrderId__c = String.valueOf(order.order_number); |
|
|
|
} |
|
// Update all invoices in the database with a bulk update |
|
update invoices; |
|
|
|
} |
|
|
|
} |
|
|
|
} |
|
|
|
Don’t forget to replace {appname} with your Heroku application name. |
|
|
|
3. Click Save. |
|
|
|
This code collects the necessary data for the remote service, makes the remote service HTTP call, and processes any data returned by |
|
the remote service to update local invoices with the corresponding external IDs. See the embedded comments in the code for details. |
|
|
|
Step 4: Test the @future Method |
|
|
|
Before creating a trigger that calls an @future method, it’s best practice to interactively test the method by itself and validate that |
|
the remote site settings are correctly configured. To test the method interactively, you can use the Developer Console. |
|
|
|
1. Go to the Developer Console by clicking Your Name > Developer Console. |
|
|
|
2. Click Debug > Open Execute Anonymous Window, and then enter the following code. |
|
|
|
// Get an Invoice__c for testing |
|
Invoice__c invoice = [SELECT ID FROM Invoice__c LIMIT 1]; |
|
// Call the postOrder method to test the asynchronous call |
|
Integration.postOrder(new List<Id>{invoice.id}); |
|
|
|
This small snippet of Apex code retrieves the ID for a single invoice and calls your @future method using this ID. |
|
|
|
3. Select the Open Log checkbox. |
|
|
|
4. Click Execute. You should see two entries in the logs at the bottom of the page. Double click the second line — it should have |
|
|
|
Future Handler as its operation and a status of Success. |

|
Step 5: Create a Trigger to Call the @future Method |
|
|
|
5. Select the Filter checkbox under the Execution Log, above the Logs list, and then type DEBUG as the filter text. Scroll down and |
|
double click the last line of the execution log. You should see a popup window with the response from the fulfillment Web service |
|
that looks something like: |
|
|
|
08:08:42:962 USER_DEBUG [58]|DEBUG|Fulfillment service returned |
|
[{"order_number":2,"id":"a01E0000009RpppIAC"}] |
|
|
|
Now that you have a functional @future method that can call the fulfillment Web service, it's time to tie things together with a trigger. |
|
|
|
Step 5: Create a Trigger to Call the @future Method |
|
|
|
To create a trigger on the invoice object that calls the Integration.postOrder method that was created in Step 3, complete |
|
the following steps: |
|
|
|
1. Go to the invoice custom object from Setup by clicking Create > Objects > Invoice. |
|
|
|
2. Scroll down to Triggers, click New, and then paste the following code in place of the trigger skeleton: |
|
|
|
trigger HandleOrderUpdate on Invoice__c (after update) { |
|
|
|
// Create a map of IDs to all of the *old* versions of records |
|
// updated by the call that fires the trigger. |
|
Map<ID, Invoice__c> oldMap = |
|
Invoice__c>(Trigger.old); |
|
|
|
new Map<ID, |
|
|
|
// Create an empty list of IDs |
|
List<Id> invoiceIds = new List<Id>(); |
|
|
|
// Iterate through all of the *new* versions of Invoice__c |
|
// records updated by the call that fires the trigger, adding |
|
// corresponding IDs to the invoiceIds list, but *only* when an |
|
// invoice's status changed from a non-"Closed" value to "Closed". |
|
for (Invoice__c invoice: Trigger.new) { |
|
|
|
if (invoice.status__c == 'Closed' && oldMap.get(invoice.Id).status__c != |
|
|
|
'Closed'){ |
|
|
|
} |
|
|
|
invoiceIds.add(invoice.Id); |
|
|
|
} |
|
// If the list of IDs is not empty, call Integration.postOrder |
|
// supplying the list of IDs for fulfillment. |
|
if (invoiceIds.size() > 0) { |
|
|
|
Integration.postOrder(invoiceIds); |
|
|
|
} |
|
|
|
} |
|
|
|
3. Click Save. |
|
|
|
The comments in the code explain what the code does. In particular, understand that Force.com triggers must be able to handle both |
|
single-row and bulk updates because of the varying types of calls that can fire them (single-row or bulk update calls). The trigger creates |
|
a list of invoice IDs that have been closed in this update, and then calls the @future method once, passing the list of IDs. |

2. Click the Invoices tab. |
|
|
|
3. Click one of the recent invoices and notice that there is no OrderId for the invoice. |
|
|
|
4. |
|
|
|
If the Status is already Closed, double-click the word Closed, change it to Open and click Save. |
|
|
|
5. Double-click the Status value, change it to Closed and click Save. This triggers the asynchronous callout. |
|
|
|
6. Wait a few seconds and refresh the page in the browser. |
|
|
|
7. You should see an external order ID appear in the OrderId field. |

Summary |
|
|
|
Summary |
|
|
|
Congratulations! Your app is sending invoices for fulfillment. You have successfully created an asynchronous Apex class that posted |
|
invoice details to your fulfillment app hosted on Heroku. Of course, your external application could reside anywhere as long as you have |
|
access via Web services. Your class uses open standards including JSON and REST to transmit data, and a trigger on invoices to execute |
|
the process. |
|
|
|
12 |
|
|
|
TUTORIAL #3: UPDATE THE HEROKU APP |
|
|
|
You now have two sides of an integration in place: one running a Java endpoint on Heroku, and another in Force.com which communicates |
|
with the endpoint when the appropriate changes take place. Now that you’ve got the connection in place, update the Heroku application |
|
to retrieve the pertinent information and display it to the user. |
|
|
|
Step 1: Configure Your Connected App |
|
|
|
Before moving on, let’s go back to your Salesforce organization so that we can configure your connected app. At a high level, we will: |
|
|
|
• Add your app to the available connected apps in your organization. |
|
|
|
• Enable OAuth. External applications must authenticate remotely before they can access data. Force.com supports OAuth 2.0 (hereafter |
|
|
|
referred to as OAuth) as an authentication mechanism. |
|
|
|
Let’s go ahead and begin. |
|
|
|
1. From Setup, click Create > Apps. |
|
|
|
2. |
|
|
|
In the Connected Apps section, click New. |
|
|
|
3. For Connected App Name, enter your app name. |
|
|
|
4. Enter the API Name, used when referring to your app from a program. It defaults to a version of the name without spaces. |
|
|
|
5. Provide your Contact Email. |
|
|
|
6. Under API (Enable OAuth Settings) select Enable OAuth Settings. |
|
|
|
7. For Callback URL, enter https://{appname}.herokuapp.com/_auth. |
|
|
|
Note: Be sure to replace {appname} with your actual Heroku app name. |
|
|
|
8. |
|
|
|
In the Selected OAuth Scopes field, select Full access (full) and Perform requests on your |
|
behalf at any time (refresh_token, offline_access), and then add them to the selected OAuth scopes. |
|
|
|
9. Click Save. |
|
|
|
Step 2: Update Your Application with a New Branch |
|
|
|
While you were creating a new Apex trigger on your Force.com instance, other developers added new functionality to the original project |
|
and placed it into a specific branch on GitHub. Using this branch you can test out new features, specifically, your Heroku application’s |
|
ability to directly access your Salesforce records. It’s easy to add this branch, called “full,” to your codebase: |
|
|
|
1. Return to the command line, and make sure you’re in the spring-mvc-fulfillment-base folder. |
|
|
|
2. Enter the following command to fetch the “full” branch and merge it with your master branch, all in one step: |
|
|
|
git pull origin full |
|
|
|
a. Before continuing, go back to your org. |
|
|
|
b. From Setup, click Create > Apps. |
|
|
|
c. |
|
|
|
In the Connected App Settings section, click your app name. |
|
|
|
13 |
|
|
|
Tutorial #3: Update the Heroku App |
|
|
|
Step 3: View the Invoice Information |
|
|
|
d. Next to Consumer Secret, click Click to reveal. |
|
|
|
e. Use your keyboard controls to copy the number that appears. |
|
|
|
3. You need to set your Access keys to your Heroku application. Enter: |
|
|
|
heroku config:add OAUTH_CLIENT_KEY=PUBLICKEY OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET=PRIVATEKEY |
|
|
|
Replace PUBLICKEY with the Consumer Key. Similarly, replace PRIVATEKEY with the Consumer Secret. It may be |
|
helpful to do this in a text editor before putting it on the command line. |
|
|
|
4. Execute the following command to push the local changes to Heroku: |
|
|
|
git push heroku master |
|
|
|
5. |
|
|
|
In a browser tab or window, navigate to https://{appname}.herokuapp.com to see the changes (refresh your browser |
|
if needed). |
|
|
|
By adding an OAuth flow to your app, your app can request a user’s permission to work with session information without requiring the |
|
third-party server to handle the user’s credentials. With this functionality added to the project, the fulfillment application can use the |
|
Force.com REST API to access information directly from the user’s instance. |
|
|
|
Tell Me More... |
|
|
|
You can review all of the changes brought in by this branch on GitHub at: |
|
https://github.com/sbob-sfdc/spring-mvc-fulfillment-base/compare/master...full. Notice that |
|
the changes use the Force.com REST API to manipulate invoice records. Look at InvoiceServiceImpl.java in particular to see |
|
how it creates, queries, retrieves and deletes invoices. This tutorial uses the findOrder() method only. The other methods are |
|
included for your reference. |
|
|
|
Step 3: View the Invoice Information |
|
|
|
In the previous steps you added brand new functionality by merging a branch into your local code. The application now understands |
|
how to use OAuth and how to access data from the Force.com platform. Now let’s view the invoice fields in your fulfillment app. |
|
|
|
1. Navigate to your fulfillment app in the browser, and then refresh the page. |
|
|
|
2. Click an order. |
|
|
|
Notice that, given an ID, this code retrieves the corresponding invoice record. Because there might be mock ID's in the database that |
|
are not in Force.com, the app handles the corresponding exception by showing default data. Adding the invoice to the model makes |
|
it available to view. Now when you test the fulfillment application, it will show the invoice information currently in your Force.com |
|
instance by grabbing the information via the REST API using the record ID. Your order detail page might look something like: |
|

Tutorial #3: Update the Heroku App |
|
|
|
Summary |
|
|
|
Notice that the Web service call from Force.com to create orders is not secured. Securing the call goes beyond the scope of this workbook, |
|
but a simple solution would be to set up a shared secret between the Force.com app and the fulfillment app. The Force.com app would |
|
create an HMAC signature from the parameters in the request, using the secret, and the fulfillment app would verify the signature. |
|
|
|
Summary |
|
|
|
Congratulations! Your fulfillment app now retrieves invoice information via the Force.com REST API and displays it to the user. You |
|
configured your app in Salesforce to use OAuth for authentication, and you added OAuth credentials to your app hosted on Heroku. |
|
You can further modify your app to manipulate invoice information however you want. |
|
|
|

|
|
|
TUTORIAL #4: ADD YOUR APP TO SALESFORCE USING |
|
FORCE.COM CANVAS |
|
|
|
You’ve done a lot already. Let’s go one step further and make your app accessible for your users right from within Salesforce. Force.com |
|
Canvas enables you to easily integrate a third-party application in Salesforce. Force.com Canvas is a set of tools and JavaScript APIs that |
|
you can use to expose an application as a canvas app. This means you can take your new or existing applications and make them available |
|
to your users as part of their Salesforce experience. |
|
|
|
Step 1: Update your Application with a New Branch |
|
|
|
Earlier, we added a branch to the codebase named “full.” Now we’ll add one named “canvas.” |
|
|
|
1. Return to the command line, and make sure you’re in the spring-mvc-fulfillment-base folder. |
|
|
|
2. Enter the following command to fetch the canvas branch and merge it with your master branch, all in one step: |
|
|
|
git pull origin canvas |
|
|
|
3. Execute the following command to push the local changes to Heroku: |
|
|
|
git push heroku master |
|
|
|
4. |
|
|
|
In a browser tab or window, navigate to https://{appname}.herokuapp.com to see the changes (refresh your browser |
|
if needed). |
|
|
|
Tell Me More... |
|
|
|
You can review all of the changes brought in by this branch on GitHub at |
|
https://github.com/sbob-sfdc/spring-mvc-fulfillment-base/compare/full...canvas. |
|
|
|
Notice that the new branch uses the signed request from the Force.com Canvas API and not the Heroku-initiated OAuth from Tutorial |
|
3, Step 2. The new branch also uses the Force.com REST API to manipulate invoice records. Look at CanvasUiController.java |
|
in particular to see how it retrieves, parses, and sets the signed request for use by the app. Also, order.jsp has changed to present |
|
an easier-to-use screen on the invoice page layout. This tutorial has only set the signed request for use on the canvasui page and |
|
the orders page in the app. |
|
|
|
Step 2: Edit the Connected App Details and Enable the App for |
|
Force.com Canvas |
|
|
|
We’ve already configured your connected app. Now we need to enable and configure it for Force.com Canvas. |
|
|
|
1. From Setup, click Create > Apps. |
|
|
|
2. |
|
|
|
3. |
|
|
|
4. |
|
|
|
5. |
|
|
|

|
|
|
In the Connected App Settings section, select your application and click Edit. |
|
|
|
In the Canvas App Settings section, select the Force.com Canvas checkbox. |
|
|
|
In the Canvas App URL field, enter https://{appname}.herokuapp.com/canvasui. |
|
|
|
In the Access Method field, select Signed Request (Post). |
|
|
|
In the Locations field, select Chatter Tab and Visualforce Page, and then add them to the selected locations. |
|

7. Click Save. |
|
|
|
If you look at CanvasUiController.java, you’ll see something like the following, which shows Heroku obtaining a signed |
|
request and validating it. We’re leveraging the OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET Heroku key set in Tutorial 3, Step 2 to validate the signed |
|
request. |
|

Step 3: Configure Access to Your Force.com Canvas App |
|
|
|
Because this app is designed for use by a specific audience, let’s give access only to the users who need it. |
|
|
|
1. |
|
|
|
In Salesforce, from Setup, click Manage Apps > Connected Apps. |
|
|
|
2. Click your app, and then click Edit. |
|
|
|
3. |
|
|
|
In the Permitted Users field, select Admin approved users are pre-authorized. Click OK on the popup message that |
|
appears. |
|
|
|
4. Click Save. |

|
|
|
Step 4: Make Your Force.com Canvas App Available from |
|
the Chatter Tab |
|
|
|
Now you’ll use profiles and permission sets to define who can see your canvas app. In this example, we’ll allow anyone with the |
|
System Administrator profile to access the app. |
|
|
|
5. |
|
|
|
In the Connected App Detail page’s Profiles related list, click Manage Profiles. |
|
|
|
6. Select the System Administrator profile, and then click Save. |
|
|
|
Your app is now available to anyone with the System Administrator profile. |
|
|
|
Step 4: Make Your Force.com Canvas App Available from the Chatter |
|
Tab |
|
|
|
The values you selected in the Locations field when creating the connected app in Step 2: Edit the Connected App Details and |
|
Enable the App for Force.com Canvas on page 16 determine where an installed canvas app appears. When an app is made available |
|
to the Chatter tab, there’s nothing we need to do for this step. If you log into your Salesforce org and select the Chatter tab, you’ll see |
|
that your canvas app appears in the app navigation list. |
|
|
|
Note: When displaying the list of orders on the Chatter Tab, remember that orders.jsp has been set up to handle the signed |
|
request POST. However, if you click into a record from this page, you are redirected to orderui, which uses OAuth. If the Heroku |
|
OAuth flow is inactive, you may receive an error when viewing the individual order. |
|
|
|
Click your app’s name. It should look something like this: |
|
|
|
Step 5: Use Visualforce to Display the Canvas App on a Record |
|
|
|
While you can certainly use the app based on the work completed so far, let’s take one more step and use Visualforce to display information |
|
from your canvas app on the invoice record. |
|
|
|
1. From Setup, click Develop > Pages. |
|
|
|
2. Click New. |

Step 5: Use Visualforce to Display the Canvas App on a |
|
Record |
|
|
|
3. |
|
|
|
In Label, enter FulfillmentCanvas. You use this label to identify the page in Setup tools when performing actions such |
|
as defining custom tabs or overriding standard buttons. |
|
|
|
4. |
|
|
|
In Name, accept the default name FulfillmentCanvas. |
|
|
|
5. Add the following markup to the Visualforce Markup box, making sure to replace {appname} with your Heroku application name, |
|
|
|
and then click Save. |
|
|
|
<apex:page standardController="Invoice__c"> |
|
|
|
<apex:canvasApp developerName="{appname}" |
|
|
|
parameters="{'orderId':'{!Invoice__c.OrderId__c}'}" width="100%"/> |
|
|
|
</apex:page> |
|
|
|
Notice how the parameters tag in the apex:canvasApp component is set to |
|
"{'orderId':'{!Invoice__c.OrderId__c}'}". This code sends a JSON object as part of the signed request to the |
|
Heroku app when the page is loaded. In the signed request, the parameters object will look something like parameters : |
|
{'orderId':'5'}, where '5' is the OrderId from the invoice record. Remember that this value is an external ID field that connects |
|
the record in the Heroku database to the Salesforce invoice record. By delivering the OrderId to the Heroku app with the signed |
|
request, the Heroku app can display the correct record on the invoice page layout. |
|
|
|
Your page should look something like this: |
|
|
|
Now let’s add your Visualforce page to the page layout. |
|
|
|
6. From the Invoices tab, select a record. |
|
|
|
7. Click Edit Layout and then Visualforce Pages. |
|
|
|
8. Drag a section down to your page and name it Canvas Fulfillment. |
|
|
|
a. Make sure to deselect Edit Page. |
|
|
|
b. Select 1–Column for the layout. |
|
|
|
9. Drag your FulfillmentCanvas page onto the new section. |
|
|
|
10. Click the wrench to update your page properties. The width should be set to 100% and height set to 165 pixels. |
|
|
|
11. Ensure that both Show scrollbars and Show label are deselected and click Save. |
|
|
|
12. From Setup, click Create > Objects, and then click Invoice. |
|
|
|

|
|
|
13. In the Custom Fields & Relationships section, click Status. |
|
|
|
14. Add another picklist item named Shipped. |
|
|
|
Now when users go to an invoice record, they’ll see the canvas app right on the record detail page: |
|
|
|
Summary |
|
|
|
Notice the Finalize button in the canvas app. If the invoice isn’t in 'Shipped' status, the red “X” and Finalize will show in the app. If you |
|
click Finalize, Heroku uses the Force.com Canvas API to call the REST API and update the invoice Status field. Once the status is set to |
|
'Shipped', the red “X” is replaced and Finalize is hidden. |
|
|
|
Summary |
|
|
|
Congratulations! With a combination of OAuth authentication, Force.com REST API, Apex triggers, @future callouts, the polyglot |
|
framework of the Heroku platform, Force.com Canvas, and Visualforce, you created and deployed a bi-directional integration between |
|
two clouds. |
|
|
|
This workbook covers just one example of the many ways to integrate your applications with Salesforce. One integration technology |
|
that we didn’t mention is the Streaming API that lets your application receive notifications from Force.com whenever a user changes |
|
Salesforce data. You can use this in the fulfillment application to monitor when changes are made to invoices and to automatically |
|
update the application pages accordingly. Visit https://developer.salesforce.com to learn more about all the ways you |
|
can integrate your application with Salesforce. |
