PayPal Form Post Integration

Hi Everyone,
I'm trying to embed a PayPal button in my application using their "Cart Upload" capabilities associated with their [Website Payments Standard|https://cms.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/?cmd=_render-content&content_ID=developer/e_howto_html_cart_upload] option. It is all done through an HTML form like the following:
<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_cart">
<input type="hidden" name="upload" value="1">
<input type="hidden" name="business" value="[email protected]">
<input type="hidden" name="item_name_1" value="Item Name 1">
<input type="hidden" name="item_number_1" value="ITM1">
<input type="hidden" name="amount_1" value="1.00">
<input type="hidden" name="item_name_2" value="Item Name 2">
<input type="hidden" name="item_number_2" value="ITM2">
<input type="hidden" name="amount_2" value="2.00">
<input type="hidden" name="no_shipping" value="1">
<input type="submit" value="PayPal">
</form> The problem is, every APEX page is already bound by a form, so you can't embed this form into any page. I've seen the 2007 Whitepaper about integrating PayPal using UTL_HTTP, but that is way more work than using the above code. Anyone know how I can include this in a page without it conflicting with the APEX form?

Create a page template with a region position or item substitution string outside of <tt>#FORM_OPEN#...#FORM_CLOSE#</tt> and generate the PayPal form code in that region or item.

SSO with a website using Apache Httpclient form post

Hi ,
I am trying to obtain, SS0 with a website, that accepts the user information via post.
I tried using app Integrator, but the website sends a cookie in first request, and redirects to another URL. App Integrator is only catching the first response.
Thus i tried implementing this Form post using Apache HTTPClient class inside the Abstractportacomponent, as shown..
The login is taking place. But, When i click on any link on the page, It is redirecting to the login page again, I am wondering where should i give the Cookie, so the portal request will include that cookie in its subsequent requests, so that i wont be prompted for login agian..
thank you,
chiranjeevi.

Hi Manish,
first, welcome on SDN! About your question:
The URL iView in SP9++ has been reported quite instable from different sides (just do a look on "URL iView" within this forum). The alternative for the aim you have is to use the good "old" application integrator iView, which behaves very stable and will do what you want without hesitating...
Also see URL iView and HTTP System - SSO to web app
Hope it helps

Creating XHTML valid PayPal Forms

Hi,
Trying to create an XHTML valid paypal form for view cart, etc. This is the code from the paypal website:
<form target="paypal" action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_cart">
<input type="hidden" name="business" value=".............">
<input type="hidden" name="display" value="1">
<input type="image" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_GB/i/btn/btn_viewcart_LG.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online.">
<img alt="" border="0" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_GB/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" height="1">
</form>
My solution so far is:
<form target="paypal" action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">
<fieldset class="paypal">
<div class="paypal">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_cart"/>
<input type="hidden" name="business" value="............."/>
<input type="hidden" name="display" value="1"/>
<input type="image" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_GB/i/btn/btn_viewcart_LG.gif" name="submit" alt="PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online." />
<img alt=""src="https://www.paypal.com/en_GB/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" height="1" />
</div>
</fieldset>
</form>
The last error is with regard to the <form target=" "> I have experimented using JavaScript:
<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
function submitform()
document.myform.submit();
//]]>
</script>
But not sure once I name the script if I can just remove target??
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

1) Do we need to use WML renderkit for displaying information on a PDA.
- I'm not too experienced with PDA's, but I'm guessing most of them (new ones) support XHTML these days. You could easily use JSF for this. Which PDA's are you going to support? Is there a specific set of them or just about any PDA out there?
2) How can I develop a single JSP/JSF page and display both on laptop browser and PDA browser.
-If the PDA browser supports XHTML you could do CSS styling based on the user agent so that the page displays differently on the two.
3) Can plain HTML support this funtionality
- Again I'm not sure about PDA compability here, but I would think that many PDA's support plain HTML.
4) Are there examples which demonstrates developing this kind of application:
The WALL project seems like a good place to start searching.

Protocol 'form-post' not available

been working very well. It's been in production for a couple of months now. We
are moving to a new environment where everything is clustered. I have changed
nothing on my ear, but I now get back the following error when I try to call the
service.
Any Idea's?

Hi Lomeus,
There is a "How do I" [1] on setting up the cluster that may be of
value. RU using the cluster name? Also see the docs here [2].

How to parse ', (, ) in a form post?

I am doing a form post to get a description input from user.
<INPUT class=inputText TYPE="text" NAME="f_description" MAXLENGTH="200" SIZE="40" VALUE="">
String l_description= request.getParameter("f_description");
String sqlInsert="INSERT INTO myTable (DESCRIPTION) VALUES('"+l_description +"')";
CM.executeUpdate (sqlInsert); I am using Oracle database. When the data entered consist of ', (, ) it will break the sql Statement. What can I do to solve this problem?
Thank you.

I agree, actually, I would modify it to use prepared statements. But if you are going to go the route of encoding special characters (assuming escaping doesn't work or you don't want to worry about different DB escape methods), maybe it would be better to replace the chars with character code escapes like URLEncoding schemes do... char becomes %xx, where xx is the character's hex value. For example, a space becomes %20. I would write my own escape and unescape methods for these. You'd have to convert % signs as well, and whatever other characters.
This is code that I have for escaping chars for HTML usage, but you can replace the list of chars and escapes with corresponding values to do it like %xx.
      * Encodes any special characters in the specified string with their
      * entity equivalents.
      * @param str the original string
      * @return the encoded string
     public static String encodeEntities(String str) {
          StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer(str);
          // must replace '&' first
          char[] chars = {     // list of characters to replace
               '&',      '<',      '>',      '\'',      '\"'
          String[] ents = {     // list of entities to replace with
               "&",      "<",      ">",      "'", """
          int len = Math.min(chars.length, ents.length);
          for(int i = 0; i < len; i++) {
               for(int j = 0; j < sb.length(); j++) {
                    if(sb.charAt(j) == chars) {
                         sb.replace(j, j+1, ents[i]);
          return sb.toString();
     * Decodes any entities in the specified string with their character
     * equivalents.
     * @param str the encoded string
     * @return the decoded string
     public static String decodeEntities(String str) {
          if(str == null) {
               return null;
          StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer(str);
          String[] ents = {     // list of entities to replace
               "&",      "<",      ">",      "'", """
          String[] chars = {     // list of characters to replace with
               "&",      "<",      ">",      "\'",      "\""
          int len = Math.min(chars.length, ents.length);
          int k = 0;
          for(int i = 0; i < len; i++) {
               for(int j = 0; j < sb.length(); j++) {
                    k = j + ents[i].length();
                    if(k >= sb.length()) {
                         break;
                    if(sb.substring(j, k).equals(ents[i])) {
                         sb.replace(j, k, chars[i]);
          return sb.toString();

Cannot read any form posted data

I create a web server :

import java.net.Socket;
public class TestWeb extends Thread {
    Socket soc;

    public void run() {
        try {
            while (true) {
                soc = server.accept();
                if (soc!=null)
                is = soc.getInputStream();

            System.in.read();
        } catch (Exception ex) {
            System.out.println(ex.toString());
}It can read the header when someone connect to this server
However, it cannot read any form posted data.
Does anybody have any idea?
The following is the html source that i use in a browser to connect to the test server
<HTML><BODY>
<CENTER><H1><FONT COLOR=BLUE><B>Test</B></FONT></H1></CENTER>
<HR>
<FORM METHOD="POST" ACTION="http://127.0.0.1">
    <INPUT TYPE=TEXT VALUE="abcde">
    <SELECT>
      <OPTION VALUE="1">1</OPTION>
      <OPTION VALUE="2">2</OPTION>
    </SELECT>
    <INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT>
</FORM>
</BODY></HTML>

I would expect the form data posted to be received. For example, the user chooses the option value and the text input value.
This test is hang just after receiving the header information and no parameters collected.

How to make result of form post to jsp to appear in child frame

Two frames inside a frameset, A and B (A is the first frame, B is the second). A has as it's source an html page containing a form with a submit button. The form posts to a jsp called Content.jsp. Works great, except: I want the results returned by Content.jsp to appear inside frame B. Seems like I've got the target for the form inside A wrong somehow, because when I click the submit button inside frame A, my results appear in a new browser instance, rather than inside B. Here's what the form declaration looks like:
<form action="Content.jsp" method="post" target="_parent.frames[1]">
If I make the target parent, that obviously replaces the whole page. If I make the target self, that obviously replaces the contents of frame A. I want to replace the contents of frame B. Any ideas?

Thanks, but I'm not using IFrame, just Frame and FrameSet. In any event, I have tried using the name attribute to no avail. Here's a really simple version of the code:
//Parent frameset
<frameset rows="50%,50%">
<frame name="A" src="testSubmit.html">
<frame name="B" src="">
</frameset>
//Here's the form in testSubmit.html
<form ACTION="testResult.html" METHOD="POST" TARGET="_parent.B">
<input TYPE="SUBMIT" VALUE="Click Me">
</form>
I've also tried TARGET="_parent.frames[1]" with the same result -- a new browser window is launched rather than the results being displayed in B.
Thanks for any assistance.

CF8 - Ajax Form Post and Document Type

I'm having a problem trying to figure out how to get a form
post to return a PDF document using CF8. I can't seem to get
CFDOCUMENT to deliver a PDF through the form.
I have a form inside a CFDIV...
<cfdiv id="mydiv">
<cfform action="myscript.cfm" method="post">
a bunch of input fields, then...
<input type="submit" value="Generate PDF" />
</cfform>
</cfdiv>
On submit, the form makes an Ajax call sending the data to a
script that generates a PDF using CFDOCUMENT and delivers it
through the browser.
However, it is not delivering the PDF. Instead, it is
delivering the CODE for the PDF into the CFDIV and trying to
display the code. I tried the same form delivering an Excel file
with cfcontent and cfheader. It delivers the code instead of the
actual document.
If I take this form out of the CFDIV, everything works great.
Why can't the Ajax call made by the CFDIV functionality
deliver a PDF or other file?

I'm having the same problems over two years later. CFCONTENT
doesn't work as documented when you call it from within an AJAX
app. My workarounds that call the code from another directory are
way too kludgey for the client, but proved my standard code works
outside of AJAX layout areas. I'm specifically trying to do what
tSpark also mentioned, that is generate an Excel spreadsheet from
query results displayed in an HTML table.
Has anyone solved this problem?

How to do simple form post to payment gateway from SharePoint 2010 list form OR InfoPath 2010 Web Form?

Working on a SharePoint 2010 Ent extranet site where parents of students can submit field trip permission forms and make payment at same time (optionally if fees involved). Was wondering if someone could advise (or point me to resource on) best way
to do a simple form post to an external payment gateway? Would be from InfoPath web form OR SharePoint 2010 list form.
Any guidance would be appreciated.

Portal URL's and Form Posting

When I use the following url in a form POST method, I receive a "page cannot be found" error when I click submit, but if I go directly to the page by entering the url in my browser, it works. Why is that?

How do I call another page in Portal through a form POST method using JSP?

Hello Angela,
you should find everything you need in :
- the pdk-java sample 'event form' (eventform.jsp and publicparam.jsp)
- the pdk articles
http://portalstudio.oracle.com/pls/ops/docs/FOLDER/COMMUNITY/PDK/ARTICLES/ADDING.PARAMETERS.EVENTS.TO.PORTLETS.HTML
(explained source code of the event form sample)
http://portalstudio.oracle.com/pls/ops/docs/FOLDER/COMMUNITY/PDK/ARTICLES/primer.portlet.parameters.events.html
(what to do in portal once your jsp-application is running)
For your jsps, you'll know how to create the events, th event's parameters, how to call the htmlFrormActionLink() method, and finally get back the params from the request.
Else, to create a link to a page, use the constructEventLink() in the EventUtils class (see API DOC deployed with JDPK on your OC4J)
Hope this helps.

How do I clear the parameter after form post?

Hi. I am learning my first JSP and was trying to do a form post. However, I found that after successfully submit to the database. If I press F5 (Refresh) from browser, the data will be re inserted into database. How could I clear the parameter (action) after data insert. My code structure is as follow.
Thank you.

HTTP Form Post

Hi,
I need to emulate an HTTP form post from ALSB 2.5.
I have the business service defined as Text for both the Request and Response message types. I have a proxy that routes to the business service and sets the Content-type to 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'.
But what I'm not clear on is how can I specify the form data set (name/value pairs) in the outbound HTTP request?
Thx in advance for the guidance!

You can do it from anywhwere in the pipeline. You can use an assign action and modify the content of $body. Don't modify the whole variable.
If it still does not work, here is what I would do. Write a simple html file containing a submit and point to a service bus dummy proxy service. Inside the dummy service use a log action to log the content of $body so you have an idea how it should exactlty looks like.

QUERY mode? Did you mean, that you can only QUERY without changing data.
This is the QUERY-ONLY-mode, which can be started e.g. call_form
this is the help for that topic:
PROCEDURE CALL_FORM
(formmodule_name VARCHAR2,
display NUMBER,
switch_menu NUMBER,
query_mode NUMBER,
data_mode NUMBER,
paramlist_name VARCHAR2);
query_mode
NO_QUERY_ONLY (The default.) Form Builder will run the indicated form in normal mode, allowing the end user to perform inserts, updates, and deletes from within the called form.
QUERY_ONLY Form Builder will run the indicated form in query-only mode, allowing the end user to query, but not to insert, update, or delete records.
