Sample create Call

The following Java and C# examples show how to use the create() call for the partner WSDL. Each example creates a contact record with several fields. It iterates through the results of the create call and checks whether the operation was successful or not. If the create operation was successful, it writes the ID of the contact created to the console. Otherwise, it iterates through the errors and writes details of each error to the console. In this case, the output of the example is the ID of the new contact.

To execute the sample method, you can use the corresponding Java or C# template class provided in Examples Using the Partner WSDL.

Java Example

1swfobject.registerObject("clippy.codeblock-0", "9");
