Can anyone share a mashup using the Salesforce.com API?

Dan has posted a short demonstration of 3 mashups that use the Salesforce.com API at http://www.jackbe.com/enterprise-mashup/videos/mashups-built-salesforcecom-api. This is just a demo of the finished mashups. We'll add the 'How To' video soon!

Tips (1)
Is JackBe an internationalized application to support localization? Does it have LOCALE support for Jackbe Services/Wires/Admin etc?

Presto Tools such as Wires/AdminConsole/Mashlet Maker and Service Explorer do not yet support internationalization and localization. However, mashups and mashlets you develop using presto can be internationalized/localized using a resource bundle approach.

I'm trying to create a Mashup using EMML. How can I define inputs to my Mashup such that it can take multiple inputs something similar to MERGE operations in JackBe actions. In the JackBe Wires I should be able to feed mulitple inputs to my Mashup.

Include inputs in the EMML script:

<code>

<output name="result" type="document" />

<input name="feed1" type="document"  />

<input name="feed2" type="document"  />

<merge inputvariables="feed1, feed2" outputvariable="result" />

</code>

Is there a sample mashup/mashlet included with the Presto Developer Edition 2.5?

Yes, we included a few examples as part of the documentation for under the section that describes the Eclipse plug-in, Mashup Studio. Look for 'Mashup Examples and Samples Project' at the bottom of the page.

Presto Mashup Studio (1)
Hi, Presently I make use of Mashup Studio(Eclipse Plugin) and write my EMML scripts. Later I publish these scripts as Mashups that shows up in PRESTO Services/WIRES as Mashup. Assume that some time in future when our application goes LIVE(to production) and while working with PRESTO SERVICES if someone accidentally remove the service (mashup), then do we need to use the same methodology of publishing the Mashup from Eclipse or are there any alternate way of publishing mashups to Presto? Note: The other possibility could be to do migration of data from say staging repository to production repository of Jackbe. Regards, Guruprasad

Presto also allows you to publish a mashup from the command line. Look for the command line shell scripts under the Presto installation directory under: 

<presto_install_dir>/mashupclient/bin

The documentation for this is located at: http://www.jackbe.com/prestodocs/v2.5/prestolibrary/

Either search for the term 'emmlpub' under the Search tab or go to this topic in the TOC:

Advanced Mashups with EMML/Mashup Studio -> Mashup Utilities
