Salesforce Lookup Rollup Summaries

This library contains a key class called “LREngine” i.e. “L”ookup “R”ollup Engine, which:

Performs rollup on multiple such fields in a single aggregate SOQL query.
Allows easy addition/removal of new fields to rollup as requirement changes over the period.
A developer must write only a single trigger for multiple rollup fields.
Allows the developer to filter the child records getting rolled up, just like standard roll-up summary fields.

Tolerado for Salesforce APIs

“Tolerado: Java Client Wrappers for Salesforce SOAP web services” is a SOAP + Java + Salesforce integration framework to support transparent retrying of recoverable exceptions rather than failing hard and caching session IDs to save API calls. It’s a pretty popular lib for SOAP-based integrations. It is featured in the Salesforce developer blog and a book named “Salesforce Handbook” by Salesforce MVPs Wes Nolte and Jeff Douglas.
