Re: Using the Force.com App Engine connector to pass data to the client side

Just thought I'd post an update here as I solved this problem The problem was not at all that I couldn't pass data to the client side. You can indeed create a regular RPC Service which makes calls to the Force.com api instead of the datastore, then pass this data to the client as a list or whatever you like.

My mistake was not putting my security token after the password while trying to login. Doh!

Here is the code that is in my ServiceImpl class:

       public List<Account> getStuff()

{

List<Account> list = new ArrayList<Account>();

try

{

// config

ConnectorConfig config = new ConnectorConfig();

config.setTransport(GaeHttpTransport.class);

config.setUsername("usernamehere");

config.setPassword("pasword+TOKEN");

config.setTraceMessage(true);

// initialise connection

PartnerConnection connection = Connector.newConnection(config);

// give it a query

QueryResult qr = connection.query("SELECT Id, Name FROM Account ORDER BY Name ASC");

// put records in array

SObject[] records = qr.getRecords();

// add to list as Account

for(int i = 0; i < qr.getSize() ; i++)

{

String id = records[i].getId();

String name = (String) records[i].getField("Name");

Account account = new Account(id, name);

list.add(account);

}

return list;

}

catch(ConnectionException e)

{

System.out.print(e.getMessage());

System.out.print(e.getStackTrace());

//System.out.print(e.getMessage());

return null; // empty

}

}

It converts the SObjects to Account objects and returns them in a list, as I prefer this to returning an array or SObjects.
