PaymentExecution does not return state about paypal-java-sdk HOT 6 CLOSED

@k9keeper this sounds like an API issue, but to make sure, could you try curl?

from paypal-java-sdk.

@juwlee It works with curl. State come back approved and payer is populated. How do I get around this issue?

from paypal-java-sdk.

@k9keeper can you please share your curl and java requests/responses?

from paypal-java-sdk.

@juwlee The curl responses are correct as I stated above

This is how I tried to get the state.

APIContext paymentContext = getPayPalContext();
Payment authPayment = new Payment();
authPayment.setId(invoice.getPayInfo());
PaymentExecution paymentExecute = new PaymentExecution();
paymentExecute.setPayerId(payerId);
authPayment.execute(paymentContext, paymentExecute);

String state = authPayment.getState();
logger.info("paypal payment approval state=" + state + " payment=" + invoice.getPayInfo());

I got around the issue by calling the the Rest service using RestEasy client and parse the data into my own objects using GSON. I now have the state and payer info as desired, I am just not using the API code to do it

I think I found the issue @k9keeper . The problem is in Payment.execute() method. As you can see, the method returns the response Payment object. It does not update the object from where the execute was being called.

So, now, if you see the sample code here. It needs to be something like this:

            PaymentExecution paymentExecution = new PaymentExecution();
            paymentExecution.setPayerId(req.getParameter("PayerID"));
            try {
                payment = payment.execute(apiContext, paymentExecution);
                req.setAttribute("response", payment);
            } catch (PayPalRESTException e) {
                req.setAttribute("error", e.getMessage());
            }

Note that payment.execute return object is used to override existing object. I will update the samples soon to reflect this change.

You can now use the APIs just fine :)

Re-open the issue if you are still running into this.

payment.execute should be static.

Thanks, it works and Payer is populated as well
