Overview of the Salesforce Demo

Salesforce.com, a global company that provides on-demand customer relationship management (CRM) services, delivers integrated, completely customizable enterprise applications for companies of all sizes. Salesforce CRM is easy to learn and use so you can set it up and start using it very quickly. Many companies use Salesforce CRM to manage their sales, marketing, customer service, and other essential business functions.

Users can create their own developer accounts and then use the Salesforce sample application with the Sun GlassFish Mobility Platform 1.1 gateway to access their data in the Salesforce repository. The Salesforce sample application consists of a client application and a RESTful Web Services (JAX-RS) connector. The Salesforce connector accesses a subset of account data and related contact and task information from the repository. It supports creating, editing, and deleting account tasks and editing contact information. The sample Salesforce client application can be run on a BlackBerry or a Palm Treo mobile device or by using the Windows Toolkit emulator.

To run the Salesforce sample application, you need the following:

• Sun GlassFish Mobility Platform 1.1 server-side software installed and configured

• A Salesforce Developer account

• A Salesforce Developer account security key

• Salesforce sample client application installed on your mobile device (BlackBerry or Palm Treo)
