CIM cardCode bug in Java SDK v 1.4.3

tonic-bom — Fri, 06 May 2011 17:28:10 GMT

I found a critical bug in the Java SDK v 1.4.3. When I create a CIM createCustomerProfileTransactionRequest transaction, I do not provide a cardCode value. The SDK is generating XML that includes an empty-element for cardCode, when cardCode is set to null in the Java SDK. This is incorrect behavior. The SDK should not include the cardCode XML element at all, when not set. The error that I kept getting from the SDK is:

The 'AnetApi/xml/v1/schema/AnetApiSchema.xsd:cardCode' element is invalid - The value '' is invalid

To fix this, I had to explicity remove <cardCode></cardCode> from the generated XML and it started working again.

You can fix this problem in the SDK by editing net.authorize.cim.Transaction and only conditionally running the following piece of code if the cardCode is a non-null and non-empty-string value:

                    // card code
                   Element card_code_el = document.createElement(AuthNetField.ELEMENT_CARD_CODE.getFieldName());
                   card_code_el.appendChild(document.getDocument().createTextNode(this.paymentTransaction.getCardCode()));
                   profile_trans_x_el.appendChild(card_code_el);
