I am looking to do two basic tasks on a salesforce account:
1) Update a checkbox (set to false) inside a case
2) Add a comment to said case
Unfortunately the SOAP api is not available for me and I do not have the access/ability to change settings on the salesforce account.
I am extremely new at this and am having trouble deciding what the best approach to do this would be. I found something similar in python, using the library (simple salesforce) but I need to utilize Java in this case as this code is to reside inside a Java lambda function.
I am wondering if I could get away with not using a salesforce library? and simply making requests to the account - however I am finding it very difficult to find documentation explaining how to do so.
To add to this: I do have all the necessary credentials available.

Is it possible to get Current Plan status using Java API? I try to call many methods from ZConnPlan but without success. Maybe is another way?
This information is currently not available via Java APIs for TWSz.
I suggest to open an RFE to TWSz for it.
If you can provide more details about the scenario you are trying to implement, I can try to find a workaround.
I am using the ElasticsearchService from Amazon. I am a little overwhelmed by their documentation. I find it vast but ever so difficult to navigate. Anyway, I am looking for an example of using the ESService using their AWS Java SDK. Do you have a link - or some code to insert a document?
I am actually using it from Scala, and what I've got so far is:
val awsEsClient: AWSElasticsearchClient = new AWSElasticsearchClient()
awsEsClient.setRegion(Region.getRegion(Regions.EU_CENTRAL_1))
awsEsClient.setEndpoint("es.eu-central-1.amazon.aws.com")
val createD = new CreateElasticsearchDomainRequest()
Where should I specify my own instance ARN? The uri that looks like
arn:aws:es:eu-central-1:xxxxxxxxxxx:domain/yyyyyyyy
Also, when using their SDK, I guess I don't need to specify anywhere the endpoint they provide? The one that goes by
search-yyyyyy-xxxxxxxxxx.eu-central-1.es.amazonaws.com
Or maybe this is what I should specify instead of the
awsEsClient.setEndpoint("es.eu-central-1.amazon.aws.com")
Thank you for your help and sorry if all these questions sound obvious.
So, I got the whole thing wrong from the beginning. The SDK is useful only in order to manage the service, like spin up new nodes and similar -- not to access it. For that, the only solution that Amazon offers is an HTTP endpoint, using the common REST api offered by Elastic Search.
The problem that came next was to authenticate the requests. I have compiled a scala library to do that for every request, which is available here: https://github.com/ticofab/aws-request-signer.
I am trying to develop a simple statistics tool to analyse various behaviours of collaborators within an Evernote Notebook using the Evernote Java API.
I need the informations which user edited which note and when.
Even though the documentation is quite good, I am still unable to find the required functionality inside the api.
(TLDR:)
Is there a way to access a list of edits of a evernote note using the API?
I am not bound to using the Java SDK so if there is a way, which is limited to using another language, it would be no problem to switch.
Andreas - Did you look into these methods in the API?
NoteStore.GetNote and NoteStore.getNoteApplicationData
It sounds like this would be a decent place to start at the very least. I cannot say for certain if this will return everything you are looking for though.
I hope this helps!
I'm not exactly sure what you are looking for but NoteStore#listNoteVersions might be the one you want. You can get a list of NoteVersionId and then use another API called NoteStore#getNoteVersion to get metadata to see which note is updated when.
Note that the API is probably only for premium accounts.
I want my app to evaluate an expression from an untrusted user, that I'll be reading from a JSON file. Such as:
value = "(getTime() == 60) AND isFoo('bar')"
I've found many threads about this here on StackOverflow. Usually recommending using Java's own ScriptEngine class, which can read JavaScript. Or recommending the user to either use an existing library such as JEXL, MVEL, or any other from this list:
http://java-source.net/open-source/expression-languages
But they all seem to rely on a trusted user (ex.: a configuration file you write yourself and want to do some scripting in it). But in my case, I want my expression evaluation to run in a secure sandbox. So the user cannot do something as simple as:
value = "while(true)" // or
value = "new java.io.File(\"R:/t.txt\").delete()" // this works on MVEL
And lock up my app, or access unwanted resources.
1) So are any of those existing libraries able to be easily configured so that it can run on a safe box? By 'easily', I mean high level configuration API that would faster for me to use than to write my own expression evaluator. After doing a little bit of my own research, both JEXL and MVEL seem to be out.
2) Or is there an existing expression language that is extremely simple so that it cannot be exploited by an untrusted user? All the ones I found are very complex, and implement things like loops, import statements etc. All I need is to parse math, logic operators and my own defined variables and methods. Anything beyond that is outside of my scope.
3) If the only solution is to write my own expression evaluator, then where can I find some guidance on how to write a consistent security model? I'm new to this, and have no idea of what are the common tricks used for code injection. Which is why I wanted avoid having to write this on my own.
I could recommend embedding Rhino, enabling the user to write javascript. It fits your criteria in (2) perfectly being a java library that enables you to run javascript (or run java from javascript).
You set up a context and the user only has access to what you put in the context or make accessible from it. The javascript expressions can be as simple as the simplest case you show above, or can get as complex as they need to. Embedding Rhino and exposing a limited set of objects was a great way to enable all sorts of user scripting in a past project and that was some years ago, Rhino is quite mature now.
You've also got the advantage that if your problem requires it, you may well be able to set it up so that the same expressions will happily run client or server side.

I don't even know if what I'm asking is possible and I don't know what to search for on Google.
Basically, there are multiple projects that would require me to fetch some data from websites. The example I'm thinking of right now is to grab my account info from a banking site http://www.americanexpress.ca I'd like to know how I'd make it so my login info is entered in the fields on the left and grab the data from the resulting page. I'd then make methods to parse that data.
Obviously, this would need to be secure as I don't want my banking info stolen.
Sorry if the solution is obvious as I've never tried grabbing data from websites.
As mentioned, Apache HttpClient is one option, though personally I've always found HtmlUnit to be a bit more convenient to work with (from an API standpoint) for doing things like this. HtmlUnit is built on top of HttpClient, and exposes a higher-level API for interacting with and manipulating page content.
You have to use Apache HttpClient (or same) library. It have all required classes for you.
