We are launching a new product, and I needed a high performance
method for CC transactions. I used payflowpro com object in the past,
then witango 5.5 broke that, then I used external object, and now, I
heard 5.5.009 fixed the com issue with verisign, but not sure. But
anyway, I am getting away from com objects, since I am moving to
linux, and java is a good bridge.
So, even though I have had a frustrating time with Beans, this seemed
easy enough, the java sdk for Verisign payflow pro is very simple,
and I looked at their static java method, and I figured it would take
an hour or so to get it going as a bean.
Well, it would have, but it crashed the test server. Everytime I hit
it, witango crashed. I thought it was on my end, the bean was very
simple, and the method relies on special java ssl classes, maybe they
were not loaded right?
After a few hours of troubleshooting, I looked at my java method,
very simple, here is the declaration:
public String authorize(String params, int istest, String certpath,
int timeout)
Is test, should be a boolean, but I found many moons ago, witango
won't take booleans in. I sent report to witango inc, but never heard
back.
Out of desperation, I changed the ints to strings, like so:
public String authorize(String params, String istest, String
certpath, String timeout)
And then convert to ints in the java method, and it all worked.
I thought for sure I had tested ints before, so I looked at all my
previous code, and I didn't, but I did use doubles in my witango
magick stuff. So I guess doubles work, strings work, booleans error,
and ints crash? WTF?!
So I am asking if anyone out there has any more experience writing
any beans for witango, and have any further useful information. I am
tired of banging my way around this stuff, and I have a few more I
have to write. I will be happy to provide this payflow pro bean to
the community when done also.
Witango inc, has not/will not provide any docs, or even a sample
bean, but I will share what I have.
Several years ago, when I started asking, someone on the list, shared
a bean that worked in witango with source code. It is a simple
utility, for creating directorys and moving files. And I still use
the same structure. It is not correct to think that any java bean
works in witango, and I was having a hard time, so this one bean, got
me going, and every bean I write, uses this structure:
imports here
public class MyClassName {
//global vars can go here
public MyClassName() {
//this is always empty, with class name, so witango can see the
class, in dev studio
}
//here is a simple method
public String mymethod(String input1, String input2) {
String res = "IN1="+input1+"&IN2="+input2;
return res;
}
}
