Force.com Web Service Connector (WSC)

The Force.com Web Service Connector (WSC) is a high performing web service client stack implemented using a streaming parser. WSC also makes it much easier to use the Force.com API (Web Services/SOAP or Asynchronous/BULK API).

Building WSC

git clone https://github.com/forcedotcom/wsc.git
mvn clean package

To skip the gpg signing, run the following command

mvn clean package -Dgpg.skip

Generating Stubs From WSDLs

java -jar target/force-wsc-62.0.0-uber.jar <inputwsdlfile> <outputjarfile>

inputwsdlfile is the name of the WSDL to generate stubs for.
outputjarfile is the name of the jar file to create from the WSDL.

Write Application Code

The following sample illustrates creating a connection and creating a new Account SObject. Login is automatically handled by the Connector.

    import com.sforce.soap.partner.*;
    import com.sforce.soap.partner.sobject.*;
    import com.sforce.ws.*;

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        ConnectorConfig config = new ConnectorConfig();
        config.setUsername("username");
        config.setPassword("password");

        PartnerConnection connection = Connector.newConnection(config);
        SObject account = new SObject();
        account.setType("Account");
        account.setField("Name", "My Account");
        connection.create(new SObject[]{account});
    }
