I have the following class:
And i'm using a blank visualforce page to run the class when a button is pushed:public with sharing class AccountToFACustomer {
public class Response{
public integer code {get; set;}
public String body {get; set;}
public boolean success {get; set;}
public String errorText {get; set;}
public Response (integer code, String body){
this.code = code;
this.body = body;
this.success = (code == 200 || code == 201);
}
}
public class customerResponse{
public string uuid {get; set;}
public string link {get; set;}
public string location {get; set;}
}
public Response CreateCustomer (string description){
Response resp;
string endpoint = 'https://apistaging.website.net/';
string token = 'Token XXXXXX';
string method = 'POST';
HttpRequest req = new HttpRequest();
HttpResponse res = new HttpResponse();
Http h = new http();
req.setEndpoint(endpoint);
req.setMethod(method);
req.setHeader('Autorization', token);
req.setHeader('Content-Type', 'application/json');
req.setHeader('Accept-Type', 'application/json');
req.setBody(
'{"name":"'+ Account.Name +'",' +
'"email":"'+ Account.Email__c + '",'+
'"phone":"'+ Account.Phone +'",'+
'"website":"'+ Account.Website +'",'+
'"location":{'+
'"name":"Account No: '+ Account.Sage_ID__c +'",'+
'"streetName":"'+ Account.BillingStreet +'",'+
'"locality":"'+ Account.BillingCity +'",'+
'"postcode":"'+ Account.BillingState +'",'+
'"country":"'+ Account.BillingCountry +'" }}'
);
try{
res = h.send(req);
resp = new Response(res.getStatusCode(), res.getBody());
if (resp.success) {
customerResponse custResp = (customerResponse)JSON.deserialize(res.getBody(), customerResponse.class);
}
}
catch(System.CalloutException e) {
System.debug('Callout error: '+ e);
return resp;
}
return resp;
}
}
When I push the button i get the following error: Formula Expression is required on the action attributes. Is the blank VF page ok, or should i have more detail in here?<apex:page standardController="Account" action="AccountToFACustomer" >
</apex:page>
This isn't an Apex REST error as your title suggests, but more of a Visualforce markup error.Looks like you have your attributes a bit mixed up. Action should point to a method in your apex class, that gets kicked off as the page loads. I don't see any method named "AccountToFACustomer" in your class. Instead, it looks like you want to use the "AccountToFACustomer" as an extension class.You'll need to do a few things.1) Add an extension controller to your class like I did around line 3 in the example below:
And 2) Update your VF page to use the extension instead of an invalid action:public with sharing class AccountToFACustomer {
public AccountToFACustomer(ApexPages.StandardController sc){
}
public class Response{
public integer code {get; set;}
public String body {get; set;}
public boolean success {get; set;}
public String errorText {get; set;}
public Response (integer code, String body){
this.code = code;
this.body = body;
this.success = (code == 200 || code == 201);
}
}
public class customerResponse{
public string uuid {get; set;}
public string link {get; set;}
public string location {get; set;}
}
public Response CreateCustomer (string description){
Response resp;
string endpoint = 'https://apistaging.website.net/';
string token = 'Token XXXXXX';
string method = 'POST';
HttpRequest req = new HttpRequest();
HttpResponse res = new HttpResponse();
Http h = new http();
req.setEndpoint(endpoint);
req.setMethod(method);
req.setHeader('Autorization', token);
req.setHeader('Content-Type', 'application/json');
req.setHeader('Accept-Type', 'application/json');
req.setBody(
'{"name":"'+ Account.Name +'",' +
'"email":"'+ Account.Email__c + '",'+
'"phone":"'+ Account.Phone +'",'+
'"website":"'+ Account.Website +'",'+
'"location":{'+
'"name":"Account No: '+ Account.Sage_ID__c +'",'+
'"streetName":"'+ Account.BillingStreet +'",'+
'"locality":"'+ Account.BillingCity +'",'+
'"postcode":"'+ Account.BillingState +'",'+
'"country":"'+ Account.BillingCountry +'" }}'
);
try{
res = h.send(req);
resp = new Response(res.getStatusCode(), res.getBody());
if (resp.success) {
customerResponse custResp = (customerResponse)JSON.deserialize(res.getBody(), customerResponse.class);
}
}
catch(System.CalloutException e) {
System.debug('Callout error: '+ e);
return resp;
}
return resp;
}
}
<apex:page standardController="Account" extensions="AccountToFACustomer" >
</apex:page>
