Webmaster Forum / ColdFusion / Advanced Techniques / October 2005

As the Summary says, here's my error:

; nested exception is: java.lang.ClassCastException

The test code of theirs works just fine.  I've figured out that four files are
required -- paypal.cfc, paypal-util.cfm, log4j.xml and sdk-seller.p12.  These
are all in the web root.

My form calls a cfm file in the web root, which (for reasons not worth
explaining right now) includes a file from an includes directory under the web
root, which in turn includes another file in that same includes dir that
contains the CFINVOKE for the paypal.cfc.

When I submit my form that should run the test authorization, it sits for a
LONG time (average of 60 sec according to the execution time output), and
returns the error given above.  Here's the rest of the error:

The error occurred in C:\Web\EC\paypal.cfc: line 204

204 :         <cfreturn pp_caller.call("DODirectPayment", pp_request)>
205 :     </cffunction>
206 : </cfcomponent>

I'm out of ideas as to what to try.  I know the code works since their
examples work just fine.  The key difference is theirs is run from a single
directory with no Includes.  To do that in my current project would be an
enormous task and wouldn't make my project manager very happy.

It seems like it oughta be something simple like file placement, but I don't
know.  I'll admit I have no experience with CFCs or Java, so maybe this is
obvious to somebody else.

Help please!!!  The paypal developer forum is absolutely DEAD.

Thanks!
