Alexa Skill kit -Lambda function - Could not validate SpeechletRequest (java) - alexa

I tried to create a HelloWorld Skill based on https://github.com/amzn/alexa-skills-kit-java but when I tested the lambda function it showed this error
{
"errorMessage":"com.amazon.speech.speechlet.SpeechletRequestHandlerException: Could not validate SpeechletRequest null using verifier ApplicationIdSpeechletRequestVerifier, rejecting request",
"errorType": "java.lang.RuntimeException",
"stackTrace": [ "com.amazon.speech.speechlet.lambda.SpeechletRequestStreamHandler.handleRequest(SpeechletRequestStreamHandler.java:101)",
"helloworld.HelloWorldSpeechletRequestStreamHandler.handleRequest(HelloWorldSpeechletRequestStreamHandler.java:43)"
],
"cause": {
"errorMessage": "Could not validate SpeechletRequest null using
verifier ApplicationIdSpeechletRequestVerifier, rejecting request",
"errorType": "com.amazon.speech.speechlet.SpeechletRequestHandlerException",
"stackTrace": [
"com.amazon.speech.speechlet.SpeechletRequestHandler.handleSpeechletCall(SpeechletRequestHandler.java:73)",
"com.amazon.speech.speechlet.lambda.SpeechletRequestStreamHandler.handleRequest(SpeechletRequestStreamHandler.java:98)",
"helloworld.HelloWorldSpeechletRequestStreamHandler.handleRequest(HelloWorldSpeechletRequestStreamHandler.java:43)"
]
}
}
This is my Java file
public final class HelloWorldSpeechletRequestStreamHandler extends SpeechletRequestStreamHandler {
private static final Set<String> supportedApplicationIds = new HashSet<String>();
static {
/*
* This Id can be found on https://developer.amazon.com/edw/home.html#/ "Edit" the relevant
* Alexa Skill and put the relevant Application Ids in this Set.
*/
supportedApplicationIds.add("amzn1.echo-sdk-ams.app.[amzn1.echo-sdk-ams.app.56bcdaf9-97fc-47f9-9918-43cb6a90d9f5]");
}
public HelloWorldSpeechletRequestStreamHandler() {
super(new HelloWorldSpeechlet(), supportedApplicationIds);
}
}
What am i missing??

You have the wrong ID in the supported application ID. That id needs to be the ID of the Alexa Skills application, which can be found on the Skill Information page. It should look something like this:
supportedApplicationIds.add("amzn1.ask.skill.c236d019-7d2a-5c96-a02f-ef8ab6f8e023");
I know the demo has is with [place id here] But you really replace the whole thing.

For me I got this exception because I was trying to run my lambda function without a proper test event JSON under the Actions tab. If you click the 'Actions' tab and then click 'Configure Test Event' you are supposed give your function input in JSON form that it can interpret. After much looking I figured out that you can get this JSON by going to the developer console where you made your skill that has all your skill configurations. On the left hand side click on the 'Test' tab and then go to the section that says 'Service Simulator'. There is a text box that says 'Enter Utterance' where you can enter a voice command to your function in text e.g 'Alexa tell [yourApp] to say Hello'. Click the 'Ask [yourApp] ' button and a Lambda request JSON will be generated on the left hand box, with the output on the right. Then just copy and paste that JSON in the left into your test event in your lambda console and then you should be good.

I tried to create a Address Skill included in https://github.com/amzn/alexa-skills-kit-java, but I got the same type of error.
It turns out that the problem was in DeviceAddressSpeechletRequestStreamHandler and creating instance of Set<String> supportedApplicationIds in static {} block.
When I moved new HashSet<>(); to declaring attributes of class, it started working.

I would put the static code onto the class you have created that extends SpeechletLambda. This is, I believe, where the evaluation takes place and gets resolved before this class is loaded and its static code executed.
Alternatively you can just turn the validation off. If someone knows your development environment well enough to call your private lambda function, they probably know enough to spoof your application ID. So there isn't a lot of security value to validating it. For an example of turning it off, see here.

Getting "Signature is invalid." when using Artifact Binding during the artifact consumption step

I have an IdP and an SP setup using the ITfoxtec SAML2 libraries, and everything works great when not using artifact binding, or when not validating signatures. When using artifact binding and validating signatures I'm getting a "Signature is invalid." exception in the ACS when trying to retrieve and bind the actual response/assertion.
It seems to unbind the artifact response fine, then when it goes to retrieve and unbind the artifact from the ArtifactResolutionService it fails, specifically on the last line of this block:
var soapEnvelope = new Saml2SoapEnvelope();
saml2AuthnResponse = new Saml2AuthnResponse(config);
await soapEnvelope.ResolveAsync(httpClient, saml2ArtifactResolve, saml2AuthnResponse);
I've checked that my signature validation certificate is correct and I've dug through the source code but am scratching my head. I've tried to validate the "saml2p:ArtifactResponse" myself but there isn't much out there.
If I put this line before the chunk above everything works as expected as it no longer validates the signature:
config.SignatureValidationCertificates.Clear();
One thing I noticed is that in the 'saml2p:ArtifactResponse' there is a signature inside of that node but not inside the contained 'saml2p:Response' node. Is it possible that the saml2p:Response is being isolated and then a signature check is being performed? I tried to see if it was supposed to be signing the response/assertion in the artifact cache on the IdP side (artifactSaml2AuthnResponseCache), but it doesn't sign response at all. I'm doing this before putting it in the cache just like in the example and just like I do when using POST binding:
var token = saml2AuthnResponse.CreateSecurityToken(relyingParty.Issuer, subjectConfirmationLifetime: 5, issuedTokenLifetime: 60);
artifactSaml2AuthnResponseCache[saml2ArtifactResolve.Artifact] = saml2AuthnResponse;`
EDIT: I have determined that the ArtifactResponse just isn't signed properly. Another tool claims the digest in the XML doesn't match the computed value. This is after stepping through the source and grabbing the XML that the code is trying to validate directly. I can see that the ArtifactResolve is being signed and validated properly (and I checked with the external tool) but the ArtifactResponse isn't. Even in the code it fails at the final validation of the signature (and not at any checks before it).
EDIT 2: Found the problem in the source. The .ToXmlDocument() extension is breaking the signed XML. The final test was done by 'replacing' it in the spot with a new method that just returns the string directly with "envelope.ToString(SaveOptions.DisableFormatting)":
protected virtual XmlDocument ToSoapXml()
{
var envelope = new XElement(Saml2Constants.SoapEnvironmentNamespaceX + Saml2Constants.Message.Envelope);
envelope.Add(GetXContent());
return envelope.ToXmlDocument();
}
protected string ToSoapXmlString()
{
var envelope = new XElement(Saml2Constants.SoapEnvironmentNamespaceX + Saml2Constants.Message.Envelope);
envelope.Add(GetXContent());
return envelope.ToString(SaveOptions.DisableFormatting);//.ToXmlDocument();
}
And directly save that to the SoapResponseXml of the Saml2SoapEnvelope:
protected override Saml2SoapEnvelope BindInternal(Saml2Request saml2Request, string messageName)
{
if (!(saml2Request is Saml2ArtifactResponse))
throw new ArgumentException("Only Saml2ArtifactResponse is supported");
BindInternal(saml2Request);
SoapResponseXml = ToSoapXmlString();// ToSoapXml().OuterXml;
return this;
}
I would initiate a pull request for this change but honestly I'm not that up to speed with Git. I'm also not sure if this is the best way to fix the issue.
Thank you for your question and code to solve the problem. I'll look into the problem.
EDIT: I'm trying to reproduce the error but no luck. The sample is both an IdP an RP, what have you changed to get the error?

Preface
I had (almost) the same exact code base as yours, and got the same error message.
In my case there was an other sandbox I could test my code, and it turned out to be working properly there.
Cause
Later found out that the Salesforce CPQ's Calculation Quote API is using Heroku to do the calculations in order to avoid apex limits exhaustion.
From this it can be deducted, that it needs to have a Connected App. I checked the Apps -> Connected Apps setup, and found that no record was listed under the "Connected Apps OAuth Usage" page for the Salesforce CPQ. (On my other sandbox there was a "Steelbrick CPQ" row.)
From this I concluded that this might be the reason for this behaviour.
Seems like something went wrong during the "Authorize new Calculation Service" process. (Or there was a sandbox refresh and something else went wrong during it.)
Solution
The bad news is that the option to authorize a new calculation service is only visible for the first time you configure the package, which you might already done. (Well... if you haven't done, then this is a great news, because your problem is probably solved. :D) (Otherwise read further.)
The good news is I figured out a solution for the case when you already done this, yet that "Steelbrick CPQ" row is missing.
Created a scratch org and installed the Salesforce CPQ package, then before I clicked on the "Authorize new Calculation Service" link under the "Pricing and Calculation" tab in the Settings Editor, I checked the source code in hope of finding something of interest.
I did.
This link: https://rest-na.steelbrick.com/oauth/auth/https%3A%2F%2Ftest.salesforce.com/SBQQ
(⚠️NOTE: You might have to change it according to your location. There are several servers across the globe:
rest-au.steelbrick.com
rest-eu.steelbrick.com
rest-jp.steelbrick.com
rest-na.steelbrick.com
But for me the above pasted link was generated on the settings page. Which is only interesting, because I live in the EU, yet, for some reason I got the link to the rest-NA server... whatever.gif
So just make sure if you click on the link, in the address bar you can find the appropriate salesforce instance URL.)
Conclusion
With this link you won't have to reinstall the package, you just have to click on it, and allow the access from Steelbrick and the missing row will appear, and you will be authorized to use the Calculation API.

Salesforce - Call external API on button click and update custom field from response

So I'll start by saying I'm a C# .Net/Javascript developer with a lot of experience, but I have zero experience with Salesforce. Never ever seen it before today. So, I've been asked by another team to add a custom button to a Contact object, which when clicked calls an external API and updates a custom field in the Contact with the response. It was pitched as "just write some Javascript that calls an API when a button is clicked, it's literally embedded into the page, 15 minute job...".
Following what appears to be quite an outdated document, I've ended up in the Object Manager, selected the Contact object and I'm into the Buttons, Links and Actions page. I'm assuming before this was done using the Execute Javascript behaviour, which in the Lightning version I'm advised against using. So after much Googling I've read about APEX classes, Visualforce Components, Lightning Components, the Salesforce REST API, etc, etc. Not a 15 min job.
Essentially the requirements are to embed a button (or action, or..?) into this Contact page, so that when the sales guy clicks it, it gathers some of the Contact's details and uses them to form an API call to an external service. The data will be used to form a response, which must then be read (as JSON, then parsed) and written into a custom field on the Contact.
What would be the best approach for developing a solution? In the Apex Debug environment I've put together the code to call the API and parse the JSON response, I'm assuming I need to wrap this in an Apex class, with a method that calls this code and returns the response. What I'm not sure of is how to call into this from the button, and update the field in the Contact.
Do I need to do all that from the Apex Class method? passing in a reference to the Contact, or is there another component that needs to sit in between and do this.
Am I right in assuming I'll need to use the Salesforce API to update the Contact?
Any pointers appreciated.
Oh man. It can be a 15 min job but it's definitely "easy when you know how" or have some examples ;)
What's your user interface, Classic or Lightning? Do they have plans to migrate to Lightning soon? I'm assuming it's Lightning if you figured out the "Execute JavaScript" hacks are passé.
Do you care where the button/action will be? Is the top right corner with all other buttons fine or do you want it to be droppable to pretty much any area in the page?
Does the API callout need username, password, maybe certificate? It'll determine whether you need just to whitelist the endpoint on firewall (Setup -> Remote Site Settings) or you'll need something more advanced (Setup -> Named Credentials).
Do you have SFDX command line (CLI), VSCode / are determined to install some tooling? The Lightning Web Components are cutting edge, most sleek etc but you can't create them straight in the browser (at least not yet), you need tooling. Visualforce is OK but nothing special for this use case, Aura components are bit clunky to write - but you can do both in Developer Console without extra tooling.
Parsing the JSON response - depends how complex it is, you can hand-craft parser with JSON.deserializeUntyped() but life's too short for this. Here's nice apex code generator similar to what you'd get from parsing WSDL: https://json2apex.herokuapp.com/
We'll try to do Aura component way. It's ugly, LWC is future but hey, it'll get you started.
Go to Setup -> Remote Site Settings and add new entry with https://en.wikipedia.org/
Create new Apex class:
public with sharing class Stack63364119 {
static final String endpoint = 'https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&format=json&list=search&srsearch=';
#AuraEnabled
public static String doCallout(Id contactId){
if(contactId == null){
throw new MyException('Missing record id');
}
List<Contact> contacts = [SELECT MailingCountry FROM Contact WHERE Id = :contactId];
if(contacts.isEmpty() || String.isBlank(contacts[0].MailingCountry)){
throw new MyException('Could not find the contact');
}
Contact c = contacts[0];
HttpRequest req = new HttpRequest();
req.setEndpoint(endpoint + c.MailingCountry);
req.setMethod('GET');
HTTPResponse res = new Http().send(req);
System.debug(res.getStatus());
System.debug(res.getBody());
// no special parsing, just chuck it into Description field
// no error handling
if(res.getStatusCode() == 200){
c.Description = res.getBody().abbreviate(32000);
update c;
}
return res.getBody();
}
public class MyException extends Exception{}
}
Make new "Lighning Component" in developer console (it'll be Aura, not LWC). You can tick the last checkbox about "lightning quick action". Name can be same as class but doesn't have to be.
For component (~ html part) paste this
<!-- Loosely based on https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.lightning.meta/lightning/controllers_server_actions_call.htm -->
<aura:component controller="Stack63364119" implements="force:hasRecordId,force:lightningQuickAction" >
<!-- in the name of all that is holy do not name the JS function same as the Apex class function, it'll give you very cryptic errors to debug -->
<aura:handler name="init" value="{!this}" action="{!c.runCallout}"/>
</aura:component>
For controller (~ JavaScript) paste this
({
runCallout : function(cmp) {
let action = cmp.get('c.doCallout');
action.setParams({contactId : cmp.get('v.recordId')});
action.setCallback(this, function(response){
let state = response.getState();
if (state === "SUCCESS") {
alert('Saved OK: ' + response.getReturnValue());
$A.get("e.force:closeQuickAction").fire(); // if you want to self-close
} else if (state === "ERROR") {
var errors = response.getError();
if (errors) {
if (errors[0] && errors[0].message) {
console.log("Error message: " + errors[0].message);
}
} else {
console.log("Unknown error");
}
}
});
$A.enqueueAction(action);
}
})
Finally go Object Manager -> Contact -> Buttons Links and Actions. Create new Quick Action.
And add it to page layout(s)!
It should get you started. Maybe you'll decide to split it a bit, Apex would only do the callout, return results to UI and if user is happy - updating the contact can be done with one of these: https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.lightning.meta/lightning/data_service_save_record.htm. Separation of concerns blah blah (but will the user be happy with 2 clicks).
P.S. If you tweak it and it dies but it's hard to see any JavaScript errors - it'll be because default is to run in release mode, SF rewrites your source code a bit, optimises, polyfills for "browsers" like IE11... Go to Setup -> Debug Mode and enable for your user.
P.P.S. In sandbox / dev org it's good idea to go Setup -> Session Settings -> and untick "Enable secure and persistent browser caching to improve performance". Your component will be always fresh, saves some frantic hitting Ctrl+R. Don't do it in prod ;)
I will write to you my approach
Button on the record page/page layout -> lighting component or flow -> Apex class for collecting data -> apex class request & response API(don't forget to add the endpoint to remote site settings)-> parse response and update contact (you can use queries and DML operations inside Apex)
lighting component it will be very simple just have a the apex class as the controller example
<aura:component implements="force:appHostable,lightning:isUrlAddressable,flexipage:availableForAllPageTypes,flexipage:availableForRecordHome,force:hasRecordId,forceCommunity:availableForAllPageTypes,force:lightningQuickAction" controller="contactController" access="global" >
<aura:handler name="init" value="{!this}" action="{!c.fetchContact}"/>
</aura:component>
controller
({
fetchContact : function(component, event, helper) {
helper.fetchContactHelper(component, event, helper);
}
})
helper
({
fetchAccHelper : function(component, event, helper) {
var action = component.get("c.fetchContacts");
action.setParams({
});
action.setCallback(this, function(response){
var state = response.getState();
if (state === "SUCCESS") {
}
});
$A.enqueueAction(action);
}
})
assuming is apex function is fetchContacts and class contactController

go-endpoint Invalid date format and method not found

Hy, I have some problems with the Go endpoints and Dart client library.
I use the Go library https://github.com/crhym3/go-endpoints and the dart generator https://github.com/dart-lang/discovery_api_dart_client_generator
The easy examples works fine. But they show never how to use time.Time.
In my project, I have a struct with a field:
Created time.Time `json:"created"`
The output in the explorer looks like this:
"created": "2014-12-08T20:42:54.299127593Z",
When i use it in the dart client library, I get the error
FormatException: Invalid date format 2014-12-08T20:53:56.346129718Z
Should I really format every time fields in the go app (Format Timestamp in outgoing JSON in Golang?)?
My research come to that the dart accept something:
t.Format(time.RFC3339) >> 2014-12-08T20:53:56Z
Second problem, if comment out the Created field or leave it blank. I get a other error:
The null object does not have a method 'map'.
NoSuchMethodError: method not found: 'map' Receiver: null Arguments:
[Closure: (dynamic) => dynamic]
But I can't figure it out which object is null. I'm not sure if I'm using the Dart client correct
import 'package:http/browser_client.dart' as http;
...
var nameValue = querySelector('#name').value;
var json = {'name':nameValue};
LaylistApi api = new LaylistApi(new http.BrowserClient());
api.create(new NewLayListReq.fromJson(json)).then((LayList l) {
print(l);
}).catchError((e) {
querySelector('#err-message').innerHtml=e.toString();
});
Does anyone know of a larger project on github with Go endpoint and Dart?
Thanks for any advice
UPDATE[2014-12-11]:
I fixed the
NoSuchMethodError
with the correct discovery url https://constant-wonder-789.appspot.com/_ah/api/discovery/v1/apis/greeting/v1/rest
The problem with the time FormatExcetion still open, but I'm one step further. If i create a new item, it doesn' work. But if I load the items from the datastore and send it back, this works.
I guess this can be fixed with implementing Marshaler interface, thanks Alex. I will update my source soon.
See my example:

Umbraco ContentService not updating checboxlist in document cache

I'm creating about 500 pages in a new Umbraco v6.1.6 website using an import script I've coded. I'm using the ContentService api to create the new pages. They are created and seem to save fine. However if I request the value of a checbox list from one of the new pages, I get an empty string.
I've verified that the property is empty in the umbraco.config file however If I manually save the page from the Umbraco back office. the cache will update with the correct value and I suddenly get the correct value returned.
Is there a way to force a cache update or some other form of fix for this issue?
This is the CreateContent method I'm using:
public static IContent CreateContent(string name, string documentTypeAlias, int parentId, Dictionary properties, bool publish = false, int author = 0)
{
IContent document = null;
ContentService contentService = new ContentService();
document = contentService.CreateContent(
name, // the name of the document
parentId, // the parent id should be the id of the group node
documentTypeAlias, // the alias of the Document Type
author);
foreach (string property in properties.Keys)
{
document.SetValue(property, properties[property]);
}
// If publish is true, then save and publish the document
if (publish)
{
contentService.SaveAndPublish(document);
}
// Else, just save it
else
{
contentService.Save(document);
}
return document;
}
Edit:
After looking into the database, I can see that cmsContentXml has the property but the data within it is the same as umbraco.config. I looked into cmsPropertyData and the data is present. So I guess the question is how do I get the data from cmsPropertyData to cmsContentXml?
My Question is simelar to this one: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17722347/umbraco-6-1-1-when-i-publish-content-via-the-content-service-tags-type-property however it has no replies.
The data from cmsContentXml gets dumped directly into the umbraco.config file so thankfully these are the same.
To make your code a bit more DRY (you're always saving the document in both the if and the else, try this and update the SaveAndPublish method to Publish (and in v7 you can use PublishWithResult to get a detailed result of the publish action):
contentService.Save(document);
// If publish is true, then save and publish the document
if (publish)
{
contentService.Publish(document);
}
In v7 you could then have a look at the publishResult. If there's something wrong then this will tell you what it is. Most likely it'll just work fine this way though (which could mean that SaveAndPublish is broken, but let's figure out if publishResult has errors).
