GoogleCheckout current implementation not compatible with the latest in SVN

[Ritesh Trivedi]

Hi,

Just for the FYI to the community...

While integrating Google, after spending almost 2 days trying to get it to work, I finally rolled out my own pure java version of the Google checkout successfully.

There are problems with the simple method implementation of GoogleCheckout component in Ofbiz

1. Some of the classes have changed and hence the method signatures, this highlights a problem with using heavy XML like ofbiz does - causing things to break and not get noticed. e.g. GoogleCheckout services expect ShoppingCart as parameters but getCartObject() returns WebShoppingCart which causes error while calling googleCHEckout services - there are a couple of the similar issues
2. widget.verbose needs to be set to false, otherwise the comments in the google checkout request sent to google fails
3. If you are using Ofbiz inside Tomcat like me - instead of the other way around. There is a classloader issue causing error while calling googlecheckout services using dispatcher.sync() - it works in tomcat inside ofbiz configuration

Hope this helps

you will probably find all the specialpurpose modules are not update
with the trunk. They are maintain but individuals.
All is in flux in the trunk
If you wish to contribute making thing work please follow the

Ritesh,

Just wanted to say thanks for your efforts, and I was on the verge of doing googlecheckout in a pure java implementation.  Programming in xml/bsh is tought!


I would love to see your efforts incorporated back into the trunk.
