AJAX in Apex

AJAX in Apex

The AJAX toolkit includes built-in support for invoking Apex through anonymous blocks or public webService methods. To do so, include the following lines in your AJAX code:

<script src="/soap/ajax/15.0/connection.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

<script src="/soap/ajax/15.0/apex.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

Execute anonymously via sforce.apex.executeAnonymous (script). This method returns a result similar to theAPI's result type, but as a JavaScript structure.

• Use a class WSDL. For example, you can call the following Apex class:

global class myClass {

webService static Id makeContact(String lastName, Account a) {

Contact c = new Contact(LastName = lastName, AccountId = a.Id);

return c.id;

}

}

By using the following JavaScript code:

var account = sforce.sObject("Account");

var id = sforce.apex.execute("myClass","makeContact",

{lastName:"Smith",

a:account});
