I requirement is to send data from my salesforce org to SAP org. I have successfully written the APEX Class for it. Problem was the JSON structure (see below) was branched and I did not know how to go about it. However, I had good help from this stack exchange community and have found the solution. However, my debug shows that the serialized structure is converted twice. See the debug result below for better understanding of what I mean to say.
My required JSON structure:
[
"BusinessPartnerCategory": "2",
"OrganizationBPName": "Test Contact Name",
"to_BusinessPartnerAddress": [
{
"Country" : "Test Contact Country",
"StreetName" : "Test Contact StreetName",
"PostalCode" : "Test Contact PostalCode",
"CityName" : "Test Contact City",
"t0_AddressUsage" : [
{
"AddressUsage" : "Test Contact AddressUsage"
}
]
}
]
"to_BusinessPartnerTax" : [
{
"BPTaxType" : "Test Contact TaxType",
"BPTaxNumber" : "Test Contact TaxNumber"
}
]
]
My Current APEX code:
public class jsontEST2 {
class SapData{ // Inner class properties
String BusinessPartnerCategory;
String OrganizationName;
String TestHardCode;
BusinessPartnerAddress[] to_BusinessPartnerAddress; //Inner class with an array variable
T0BusinessPartnerTax[] t0_BusinessPartnerTax ; //Inner class with an array variable
}
class BusinessPartnerAddress { //1st array properties
String Country;
String StreetName;
String PostalCode;
String CityName;
AddressUsage[] t0_AddressUsage; //1st array with an inner array
}
class AddressUsage { //inner-inner array property
String AddressUsage;
}
class T0BusinessPartnerTax { //2nd array properties
String BPTaxType;
String BPTaxNumber;
}
//Future method as this entire class i will copy in an http post class to be triggered via a trigger
@future(callout=true)
public static void LGS(){
//Querying the required records - where checkbox is ticked
List<Contact> conList = [SELECT Name, MobilePhone, Fax, Phone, MailingCountry, MailingStreet, MailingPostalCode, MailingCity, MailingState FROM Contact WHERE Create_SAP_record__c = TRUE];
String MyHttpRequestBody;
SapData sapData = new SapData(); //creating instance of class
for(Contact con : conList){
//creating for loop to give values of the respective fields
sapData.OrganizationName = con.Name;
sapData.BusinessPartnerCategory = con.Phone;
sapData.TestHardCode = 'Test Hard Code';
T0BusinessPartnerTax businessPartnerTax = new T0BusinessPartnerTax(); //2nd array instance
businessPartnerTax.BPTaxType = con.MobilePhone;
businessPartnerTax.BPTaxNumber = con.Fax;
sapData.t0_BusinessPartnerTax = new List<T0BusinessPartnerTax>{businessPartnerTax}; //adding this (2nd array) array to main class instance
sapData.t0_BusinessPartnerTax.add(businessPartnerTax);
BusinessPartnerAddress businessPartnerAddress = new BusinessPartnerAddress(); //1st array instance
businessPartnerAddress.Country = con.MailingCountry;
businessPartnerAddress.StreetName = con.MailingStreet;
businessPartnerAddress.PostalCode = con.MailingPostalCode;
businessPartnerAddress.CityName = con.MailingCity;
AddressUsage toAddressUsage = new AddressUsage(); //1st array inner-inner array instance
businessPartnerAddress.t0_AddressUsage = new List<AddressUsage> {toAddressUsage}; //initialising the inner inner array instance to a list
toAddressUsage.AddressUsage = con.MailingState;
sapData.to_BusinessPartnerAddress = new List<BusinessPartnerAddress>{businessPartnerAddress}; //adding the 1st array to main class
sapData.to_BusinessPartnerAddress.add(businessPartnerAddress);
}
MyHttpRequestBody = JSON.serialize(sapData); //serializing data
System.debug(MyHttpRequestBody); //debugging for checking format
}
}
However in debug log, it shows like this :
15:15:03:044 USER_DEBUG [70]|DEBUG|
{"to_BusinessPartnerAddress":[
{"t0_AddressUsage": [
{"AddressUsage":"Nevada"}],
"StreetName":"Nevada",
"PostalCode":"12345",
"Country":"USA",
"CityName":"Nevada"},
{"t0_AddressUsage":[
{"AddressUsage":"Nevada"}],
"StreetName":"Nevada",
"PostalCode":"12345",
"Country":"USA",
"CityName":"N
Here is a picture of debug log for better understanding:
Here is the raw debug line :
06:51:54.12 (69958229)|USER_DEBUG|[70]|DEBUG|{"to_BusinessPartnerAddress":[{"t0_AddressUsage":[{"AddressUsage":"Nevada"}],"StreetName":"Nevada","PostalCode":"12345","Country":"USA","CityName":"Nevada"},{"t0_AddressUsage":[{"AddressUsage":"Nevada"}],"StreetName":"Nevada","PostalCode":"12345","Country":"USA","CityName":"Nevada"}],"TestHardCode":"Test Hard Code","t0_BusinessPartnerTax":[{"BPTaxType":"1234567890","BPTaxNumber":"1234567890"},{"BPTaxType":"1234567890","BPTaxNumber":"1234567890"}],"OrganizationName":"Pete 'Maverick' Mitchell","BusinessPartnerCategory":"12345678"}
As you can see the "AddressUsage" is added twice and is causing a 400 Bad request error when I try to pass this is the body for my callout.
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////EDIT//////////// Pls note that the below JSON structure (hard coded) is the one I want with all the correct names of objects and values. So I have used those names in my code. I have not posted the new code as only the names are different and one test hard code object is less and I do not want to add to your confusion. When I try to pass the (MyHttpRequestBody ) variable into (req.setBody(MyHttpRequestBody )), I get the 400 bad request error. However, If I pass the below hard coded JSON structure directly into (req.setBody), I get 201 OK status. Also I have tried to use the same values in hard coded JSON structure in my code (contact record with same values in fields) with just a changed NAME as that field needs to be unique in order to create a record in SAP S4. Yet it gave me a 400 bad request. I can post my entire Apex code if you need as well
My Hard coded JSON Structure : {"BusinessPartnerCategory" : "2","OrganizationBPName1" "Shaunakssss Enterprieses LLC", "to_BusinessPartnerAddress" : [ {"Country" : "DE", "StreetName" : "LC Street 16", "PostalCode" : "99991", "CityName" : "Wadallof", "to_AddressUsage" : [ { "AddressUsage" : "XXDEFAULT" } ] } ], "to_BusinessPartnerTax" : [ { "BPTaxType" : "DE0", "BPTaxNumber" : "DE011112223"}]}
My JSON structure via our code :
{"to_BusinessPartnerTax":[{"BPTaxType":"1234567890","BPTaxNumber":"1234567890"}],"to_BusinessPartnerAddress":[{"t0_AddressUsage":[{"AddressUsage":"Nevada"}],"StreetName":"Nevada","PostalCode":"12345","Country":"USA","CityName":"Nevada"}],"OrganizationBPName1":"Pete 'Maverick' Mitchell","BusinessPartnerCategory":"12345678"}
