Broader Compatibility With External Web Services

Support for a Wider Range of WSDL Types

• Support for more WSDL types
• Relaxed timeout limits on callouts

Force.com lets you call out to external Web services to get data for mashups or to exchange data with on-premise applications. Spring ’09 supports a wider range of WSDL types such as ref, attribute, any, and all, so you can consume Web services with these types without having to modify the service.

Apex callout time limits have been relaxed to allow calls lasting up to 1 minute. Developers who want calls to time out sooner can set a custom timeout value.

Note: Not automatically visible. Feature is enabled, but requires some setup.

(Available in Enterprise, Unlimited and Developer editions)
