SugarCRM Java development

It was told to me to use this SugarCRM for one of our product. The common way was to use the webservice of SugarCRM.

I didn't find the stepwise document for this. So planned to write this in my blog.

1. Download Community version SugarCRM(.zip file) from the site. http://www.sugarcrm.com/crm/download/sugar-suite.html (using Download Sugar Community Edition 6.0.0 for this blog).
2. Download wampserver 2.x (http://www.wampserver.com/en/)
3. Install wampserver & make sure the php version is >=5.2
4. unzip the file & put in the www folder. For me I renamed it to SugarCE.
5. Install the SugarCE.
6. you might get the issue with variable_order
7. go to line 673 & variables_order = "EGPCS"
8. verify the wsdl is fine or not. In my case it is http://localhost/SugarCE/soap.php?wsdl

9. In everything is fine download the axis1.4 to generate the Java files using Wsdl2Java

10. set the required classpath

C:\axis-1_4>set classpath=%classpath%;lib/axis.jar:lib/axis-ant.jar:lib/commons-discovery-0.2.jar:lib/commons-logging-1.0.4.jar:lib/jaxrpc.jar:lib/log4j-1.2.8.jar:lib/saaj.jar:lib/wsdl4j-1.5.1

.jar

11. run the command:

C:\Extra>java org.apache.axis.wsdl.WSDL2Java -o . -d Session -p org.vikrant.sugarcrm http://localhost/SugarCE/soap.php?wsdl

12. Copy these file to your project folder. (I am using netbean6.9 ,however other IDE are fine to use).

13. Please find the demo code @git location. http://github.com/vikrantchoudhary/SugarCRMForJava

Please let me know if I am missing anything here.
