Mashup Integration

Integration Mashup (Composites)

  • A mashup is a Web page or application that combines data or functionality from two or more sources to create a new service.
  • Mashup integration happened at the UI layer not on data or logical layer, so it does not pass the data into two systems.
  • Link or Embedded page can be used to bring the external UI in Salesforce















How to use a link to implement Mashup?
  • The link can be used to open a window to display external system using
    • Custom or Standard buttons, custom links, or formula
    • Visualforce page <Apex:outputlink> tag
  • Whenever mashup is implemented with link, it always be asynchronous means no effect on page load.

How to use VF page to implement Mashup?

  • Visualforce mashups:
    • Display data in the salesforce interface that is not physically stored in salesforce
    • Whenever mashup is implemented with link, it always be synchronous means user to wait until external content is loaded
  • Visualforce mashups are implemented with
    • Web tab
    • VF iFrame tag
