RE: [OT] Question regarding payment processing
Denise, I haven't done Chase's gateway specifically, but I've done some others. What's problems are you having? One issue I encountered in the past is that some of the gateway mechanisms will do a callback to one of your pages. The catch is that you want to be able to re-associate the session, but you won't get a session cookie. In the past, I was able to do that by explicit URL rewriting. I haven't tried it with recent versions of tomcat, but I should still have an example of that technique around here somewhere. --- Noel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: [OT] Question regarding payment processing
Noel, The problems that I am having have to do with specifically Chase's values that are being returned to me and the possible scenarios each value can cause. My frustration is that I ask a simple question such as will a decline always have SomeValue is 5 - and what I get back is a bunch of business logic explaining that I am only concerned with approvals, anything else is a non-transaction. While this is true in the business sense, my program is concerned with every scenario, and everything that completes the process (including declines) is considered a transaction. What do you mean by the gateway mechanism doing a callback to one of my pages? The way I have it set up is my JSP instantiates transactionBean with all the necessary values. The methods in this bean do the actual formatting of the input document, make the API call to the gateway to submit the input document, and receive the result document. The bean will also determine if the transaction is a success, and if it is a decline or approval. Then my JSP will access this information to relay it to the browser ( as well as include a script that writes it back to my back end app). We are not storing any user information, so a database is not coming into play for me. The backend app is a UNIX program that I pass a value to via a URL and the program on the UNIX box parses that URL and records the appropriate values. Is this a feasible scenario? If so, then wouldn't the session be persistent throughout the process? Thanks, Denise Mangano Help Desk Analyst Complus Data Innovations, Inc. -Original Message- From: Noel J.

RE: [OT] Question regarding payment processing
Denise, I will be able to read the docs after lunch today. What Noel was talking about is the asynchronous web gateways, like authorize.net. That is one of the most common situations. Keep in mind, I have not read your docs yet, but I will write anyway. From your descriptions it sounds like Chase has provided you with a VPN like client. You pass in via command line args or STDIN and it pumps out results on STDOUT or to a file. Typically gateways provide such an app to guarantee bug free operation, but they fail to document it as a software API. In these situations one can dumb down your application, find competent tier2 support (like I said, we might be able to help), or write your own VPN app (as a class file). I don't know what your time frame is like, but there is a chance that there is a synchronous protocol, over SSL you might be able to use. If that is the case, for security/simplicity reasons, you might want to do that. But it would be a rewrite of the comm routines. -Jason Pyeron On Tue, 14 Jan 2003, Denise Mangano wrote: Noel, The problems that I am having have to do with specifically Chase's values that are being returned to me and the possible scenarios each value can cause.

[OT] Question regarding payment processing
My apologies in advance for posting a non-Tomcat issue... I know this question is not directly related to Tomcat, but since JSP servlets are popular technologies used for payment processing over the internet, and Tomcat appears to be the most widely used server to implement this, I just had to give this list a try... Has anyone had any experience processing credit card payments through Chase ClearCommerce Global Gateway (particularly writing JSP to process these transactions)?? If so I have a few programming questions that tech support only seems to answer with business logic. I would really appreciate it if anyone has programmed applications for this gateway would email me off-list so that I can ask some questions regarding what I should be concerned with from a programming perspective. Again, sorry for posting this, but I'm at my wits end... Sincerely, Denise -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
