------------------------------------------
Summary: add support for lookup field using an sObject external id
Key: CAMEL-10193
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAMEL-10193
Project: Camel
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: camel-salesforce
Affects Versions: 2.17.3, 2.18.0
Reporter: Satguru Srivastava
Fix For: 2.17.3, 2.18.0
A SalesForce object can have a field of type called "lookup".
This field is used to by a record in a SalesForce object to reference a record
in another SalesForce object.
The value of this field could be a string in which case it would be the record
id of the other record or it could be an object in which case it would contain
the other Object's external field name and its value in that other record.
Doing lookup/reference by external id is very useful specially for
insert/upsert operations as otherwise one has to maintain record id of each of
the records in the other Object.
Camel SalesForce component seems to support lookup by record id.
There is no support for the second type that is the external field name and
value type.
