Types of Integration

Security Integration

Integrate authentication mechanisms across applications to improve the user experience and minimize user administration.

User Interface Integration

Combine the UIs of two or more apps to create composite apps with little or no rework on the UI of each individual app.

Business Logic Integration

Business logic often spans multiple application systems. Extending related business logic from one app to another helps to implement complete end to end business processes.

Data Integration

Integrating applications at the data layer is a common scenario. For example, multiple apps written in different programming languages can all use an open API and manage related data in one shared database.


We would be concentrating on only Data Integration for this session and others will be mentioned as topics in "Pro Lab work".

The Force.com SOAP API (formerly known as the Force.com Web Services API) lets you integrate Force.com applications that can create, retrieve, update or delete records managed by Salesforce, Force.com, and Database.com, records such as accounts, leads, and custom objects. With more than 20 different calls, SOAP API also lets you to maintain passwords, perform searches, and much more. You can use the SOAP API with any programming language that supports Web services.

As mentioned in Part 1, we would be using Soap UI as learning purpose.Soap UI is not real web service client which is compliant to standards.This is only for basic check.
