| FORCE.COM INTEGRATION WORKBOOK | |
| One of the most frequent tasks Force.com developers undertake is integrating Force.com apps with existing applications. The tutorials | |
| within this workbook are designed to introduce the technologies and concepts required to achieve this functionality. | |
| The Force.com Integration Workbook is intended to be the companion to the Force.com Workbook. The series of tutorials provided here | |
| extend the Warehouse application by connecting it with a cloud-based fulfillment app. | |
| Intended Audience | |
| This workbook is intended for developers who are new to the Force.com platform but have basic working knowledge in Java. | |
| Tell Me More.... | |
| This workbook is designed so that you can go through the steps as quickly as possible. At the end of some steps, there is an optional | |
| Tell Me More section with supporting information. | |

| 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). | |
| 3. Click the download button. | |
| 4. After the download finishes, run the downloaded install package on your local workstation and follow the steps to install. | |
| 2 | |
| 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. | |
| 4 | |
| Tutorial #1: Create a New Heroku Application | |
| Summary | |
| 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. | |
| 6 | |
| 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); | |
| 8 | |
| 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. | |
| 9 | |
| Tutorial #2: Connect the Warehouse App with an External | |
| Service | |
| 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. | |
| 10 | |
| Tutorial #2: Connect the Warehouse App with an External | |
| Service | |
| Step 6: Test the Complete Integration Path | |
| Step 6: Test the Complete Integration Path | |
| With the trigger in place, test the integration by firing the trigger. | |
| 1. Select the Warehouse app. | |
| 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. | |
| The following screen shows the Invoices tab before any changes have been made: | |
| The following screen shows the Invoices tab after the asynchronous call has returned the new order ID: | |

| Tutorial #2: Connect the Warehouse App with an External | |
| Service | |
| 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: | |
| Tell Me More... | |
| 14 | |
| 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. | |
| 15 | |
| 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. | |
| 6. | |
| 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. | |

| Step 2: Edit the Connected App Details and Enable the App | |
| for Force.com Canvas | |
| 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. | |
| @Controller | |
| @RequestMapping(value="/canvasui") | |
| public class CanvasUIController { | |
| private static final String SIGNED_REQUEST = "signedRequestJson"; | |
| private CanvasContext cc = new CanvasContext(); | |
| @Autowired | |
| private OrderService orderService; | |
| @Autowired | |
| private InvoiceService invoiceService; | |
| private Validator validator; | |
| @Autowired | |
| public CanvasUIController(Validator validator) { | |
| this.validator = validator; | |
| } | |
| @RequestMapping(method= RequestMethod.POST) | |
| public String postSignedRequest(Model model, | |
| @RequestParam(value="signed_request")String signedRequest, HttpServletRequest request){ | |
| String srJson = SignedRequest.verifyAndDecodeAsJson | |
| (signedRequest, getConsumerSecret()); | |
| CanvasRequest cr = SignedRequest.verifyAndDecode(signedRequest, getConsumerSecret()); | |
| HttpSession session = request.getSession(true); | |
| model.addAttribute(SIGNED_REQUEST, srJson); | |
| cc = cr.getContext(); | |
| CanvasEnvironmentContext ce = cc.getEnvironmentContext(); | |
| Map<String, Object> params = ce.getParameters(); | |
| if (params.containsKey("orderId")) { | |
| invoiceService.setSignedRequest(cr); | |
| Integer orderId = Integer.parseInt(params.get("orderId").toString()); | |
| if(orderId != null) { | |
| Order order = orderService.findOrder(orderId); | |
| if (order == null) { | |
| throw new ResourceNotFoundException(orderId); | |
| } | |
| model.addAttribute("order", order); | |
| Invoice invoice; | |
| try { | |
| invoice = invoiceService.findInvoice(order.getId()); | |
| } catch (ApiException ae) { | |
| // No match | |
| invoice = new Invoice(); | |

| for Force.com Canvas | |
| } | |
| model.addAttribute("invoice", invoice); | |
| return "order"; | |
| } | |
| } | |
| return getOrdersPage(model); | |
| } | |
| @RequestMapping(method=RequestMethod.GET) | |
| public String getOrdersPage(Model model) { | |
| model.addAttribute("order", new Order()); | |
| model.addAttribute("orders", orderService.listOrders()); | |
| return "orders"; | |
| } | |
| private static final String getConsumerSecret(){ | |
| String secret = System.getenv("OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET"); | |
| if (null == secret){ | |
| throw new IllegalStateException("Client secret not found in environment. | |
| You must define the OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET environment variable."); | |
| } | |
| return secret; | |
| } | |
| } | |
| After the validation, the signed request is passed to order.jsp, where the browser can access it. | |

| 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. | |

| Tutorial #4: Add Your App to Salesforce Using Force.com | |
| Canvas | |
| 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. | |
| 21 | |
| Tutorial #4: Add Your App to Salesforce Using Force.com | |
| Canvas | |
| 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. | |
| 22 | |
| Tutorial #4: Add Your App to Salesforce Using Force.com | |
| Canvas | |
| 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. | |
