Connection

You can instantiate the connection in two ways – in PlatformManager or in camel-context.xml (programmatic approach).

Connection Setup in Salesforce

For the Salesforce – PlatformManager connection, a “Connected App” needs to be created in Salesforce.

  1. Go to Settings, search for App, select App Manager > New Connected App.

     

  2. Fill in the following fields and click Save.

     

  3. Copy Consumer Key and Consumer Secret.

     

  4. Create a Service User.

Connection Setup in PlatformManager

  1. Fill in the connection fields as shown below. The following parameters need your custom values:

    • Name – Name your connection

    • Client ID – Consumer Key from Salesforce

    • URL – https://<<yourbox>>.salesforce.com

    • Auth URL – https://<<yourbox>>.salesforce.com/services/oauth2/token

    • Client secret – Consumer Secret from Salesforce

  2. If needed, add the following user information:

    • Username

    • Password

  3. Once done, deploy the connection.

 

For details on connections see the PlatformManager documentation.

Connection Setup in Platform Manager – Programmatic Approach

The same connection can also be created programmatically:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xsd http://camel.apache.org/schema/spring http://camel.apache.org/schema/spring/camel-spring.xsd"> <bean id="my-salesforce-connection" class="net.pricefx.integration.component.rest.domain.connection.OAuth2Connection"> <property name="clientId" value="3MVG98_Psg5cppyZ2_RommSclCNGMExKPRJOYaUFW7s74rofoU1UM_23KhwmfoNMmSUy"/> <property name="clientSecret" value="mySecret"/> <property name="authUrl" value="https://login.salesforce.com/services/oauth2/token"/> <property name="url" value="https://pricefx-dev-ed.my.salesforce.com"/> </bean> <camelContext xmlns="http://camel.apache.org/schema/spring" useMDCLogging="true"> <contextScan/> </camelContext> </beans>

Using this way, the connection my-salesforce-connection will be available in connection pools in your IntegrationManager instance.
