Creating Lead/Contact/Opportunity

Posted on by Arjun 99

I am writing a Java application to integrate with MS Dynamics CRM.

I used the following link to do the initial setup:

http://blogs.msdn.com/b/dynamics-coe/archive/2013/09/21/integrating-microsoft-dynamics-crm-2011-online-with-java-and-other-non-net-clients.aspx

I enhanced the framework which uses Stub Invocation Methods section within the blog

But now I am able to create/update and delete accounts. But I am unable to create Leads/Contacts/Opportunity.

The code base that i received from the blog does not contain Java bean classes to tell me exactly what are the fields that are required for creating any Dynamics Object (like account/lead/contact or anything). Is there any way I could get to know these?

Thanks,

Arjun

    Arjun,

    You can get the entityname and attributes using the metadata browser http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh547411.aspx . You can use this information to create the attributeHash

    You can also retrieve entity metadata using code http://mileyja.blogspot.com/2011/05/how-to-retrieve-metadata-for-entity.html

    Thank you for your response. But the problem is that I use a linux machine and the language i use is Java. And I cannot even run the sdk.exe file. If i could just get them, even as a text file for the entities i am concerned about, it would have been awesome. Sad but true :)

    Arjun,

    I can think of one easy way is to look for a windows machine, download the SDK, and browse the Meta data as applicable to your environment.

    Not the response you might be looking forward - sorry.

    Thank you,
