Feature Details
- New Data Types: Winter ’08 extends the number of data types—enum, decimal, long, subject, and blob—available within Apex code, enabling a broader set of numerical data types. With the new blob support, applications can easily manage attachments in a variety of binary formats.
- Expanded Programmatic Access: Winter ’08 adds new verbs to Apex to give you programmatic access to powerful platform services such as approval process management, outbound email, and lead conversion. New verbs for “Undelete” and “Query All” round out your ability to control every aspect of application behavior through Apex.
- HTTP Callouts: Winter ’08 adds the ability to make HTTP requests from Apex, enabling public Web services of all types to be consumed directly from within the Force.com platform. Now you can incorporate RSS feeds and REST-based services from Amazon.com, Google, Yahoo!, and many others in your Force.com applications.
