Building the Partner.jar API file

The SF documentation is missing some information needed to build the latest partner.jar API file.  Here is the link I found that gets you started
http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/api_asynch/Content/asynch_api_code_set_up_client.htm

The missing part is a dependency on a Javascript libraray called rhino.  If you follow the instructions given you get

~/Documents/workspace2/salesforce/carmanah_salesforce$ java -classpath force-wsc-27.0.0.jar com.sforce.ws.tools.wsdlc partner.wsdl partner-27.jar

The solution is to get the latest rhino library from http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/rhino
and add this to the command line.

Just for the record, the WSC download is here http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.force.api/force-wsc
I'm working with v27 today,  file: "force-wsc-27.0.0.jar"
I also downloaded rhino jar file: "js-1.7R2.jar"

I am working on a MAC. I placed both downloaded jar files in my working directory.  I downloaded the partner.wsdl file as well.  Then use this command line to produce the partner jar file:

java -classpath force-wsc-27.0.0.jar:js-1.7R2.jar com.sforce.ws.tools.wsdlc partner.wsdl partner-27.jar

On some systems you need to use a semi-colon to separate the jar files. Like this:
java -classpath force-wsc-27.0.0.jar;js-1.7R2.jar com.sforce.ws.tools.wsdlc partner.wsdl partner-27.jar

    Is it time to rebuild the partner.jar file again. Summer 13 release is out and the soap version is now v 28. Plus the code that used to work a while ago now throws errors like this: com.sforce.ws.ConnectionException: Unexpected element. Parser was expecting element 'urn:partner.soap.sforce.com:searchable' but found 'urn:partner.soap.sforce.com:searchLayoutable'
    at com.sforce.ws.bind.TypeMapper.verifyTag(TypeMapper.java:386)
    at com.sforce.ws.bind.TypeMapper.verifyElement(TypeMapper.java:415)

    at com.sforce.soap.partner.DescribeSObjectResult.load(DescribeSObjectResult.java:730)
    ....

    So, I'll try to build the latest version and see what happens

    Yes it seems we need to rebuild the partner jar file now. I say this because a rebuild cleared the above problem. I tried to use V28 WSC downloaded as above but I got this: xception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/stringtemplate/v4/STGroupDir

    So, I used the V27 WSC and all seemed to work well. Here is the compile command:
    java -classpath force-wsc-27.0.0.jar:js-1.7R2.jar com.sforce.ws.tools.wsdlc partner.wsdl.v28.xml partner-28.jar

    Then copy the jar to servlet container's lib folder. For example,
    cp partner-28.jar ~/InstalledSoftware/apache-tomcat/lib/

    For API version 29, the command did not work. I had to use

    java -classpath C:\force-wsc-29.0.0.jar;C:\ST-4.0.7.jar com.sforce.ws.tools.wsdlc C:\partner.wsdl C:\partner.jar

    on windows. I obtained ST-4.0.7.jar from http://www.stringtemplate.org/

      Hi guys, I still can't get API version 29 to work. After downloading ST-4.0.7.jar, did you put it into the same folder as the other wsdl and jar files?

      Hello Anonymous,
      Yes. Same directory. But you can put them where ever you wish as long as you include the path (absolute or relative) to the jar files.

      Thanks Bryan. I get the following error saying the ..\lib\tools.jar cannot be found. I have installed JRE6 and am running the command from C:\Program Files\Java\jre6 in DOS. I validated that the tools.jar does not exist. Am I missing something?

      Hello Anonymous, tools.jar is part of the JDK. You mention that you are using a JRE which is just the Java Runtime Engine. The Java Development Kit has more content. Go back to the Java download page and look for a JDK for Windows. Install that and I'm sure you will be good to go.

      Hi Anonymous, Start over and get the partner jar files not the enterprise. If this doesn't make sense then let me know and I'll find the links in the help files for you.

    I just copied tools.jar from the jdk/lib location to the jre/lib and it worked

    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
