Problems building WSC jar files from SalesForce enterprise WSDL

As specified in these instructions, I downloaded my organization's enterprise.wsdl file, downloaded wsc-23.jar from the Web Services Connector downloads page, and ran the following command from the directory containing the two downloaded files:

java -classpath wsc-23.jar com.sforce.ws.tools.wsdlc enterprise.wsdl enterprise.jar

which generated this output:

[WSC23][wsdlc.run:348]Created temp dir: C:\Users\myName\AppData\Local\Temp\wsd

Error: Compilation failed

Why is class RecordType causing compilation to fail?

Solution

  • As a workaround to the issue we discussed in comments above, try manually adding the RecordType complex type to your WSDL. Here is what it should look like:

    <complexType name="RecordType">
    <complexContent>
        <extension base="ens:sObject">
            <sequence>
            <element name="BusinessProcessId" nillable="true" minOccurs="0" type="tns:ID"/>
            <element name="CreatedBy" nillable="true" minOccurs="0" type="ens:User"/>
            <element name="CreatedById" nillable="true" minOccurs="0" type="tns:ID"/>
            <element name="CreatedDate" nillable="true" minOccurs="0" type="xsd:dateTime"/>
            <element name="Description" nillable="true" minOccurs="0" type="xsd:string"/>
            <element name="DeveloperName" nillable="true" minOccurs="0" type="xsd:string"/>
            <element name="IsActive" nillable="true" minOccurs="0" type="xsd:boolean"/>
            <element name="IsPersonType" nillable="true" minOccurs="0" type="xsd:boolean"/>
            <element name="LastModifiedBy" nillable="true" minOccurs="0" type="ens:User"/>
            <element name="LastModifiedById" nillable="true" minOccurs="0" type="tns:ID"/>
            <element name="LastModifiedDate" nillable="true" minOccurs="0" type="xsd:dateTime"/>
            <element name="Localization" nillable="true" minOccurs="0" type="tns:QueryResult"/>
            <element name="Name" nillable="true" minOccurs="0" type="xsd:string"/>
            <element name="NamespacePrefix" nillable="true" minOccurs="0" type="xsd:string"/>
            <element name="SobjectType" nillable="true" minOccurs="0" type="xsd:string"/>
            <element name="SystemModstamp" nillable="true" minOccurs="0" type="xsd:dateTime"/>
            </sequence>
        </extension>
    </complexContent>
</complexType>

    As I mentioned above, this sounds like a bug in the WSDL generation, so I'd recommend filing a ticket with SFDC Support as well.
