Java SDK CIM: UPDATE_CUSTOMER_PAYMENT_PROFILE --> how to mask the expiration date?

[svetozar]

Hi,

I'm trying to update the payment profile.

If the user doesn't enter a new date I want to submit XXXX as expiration date... This is a masked date which means that the original date shouldn't be changed on authorize.net side.

I tried to set the masked date in 2 different ways in the net.authorize.data.creditcard.CreditCard class:

1. setExpirationMonth("XX") and Year("XXXX")

2. setExpirationDate("XXXX")

In both cases I get the error "E00027 (TESTMODE) The credit card has expired" back from authorize.net...

So, how should we set the masked date using Java SDK?

It the credit card that you try to update expired? Also, a lot of thing doesn't work with CIM in test mode. Get a test account and do it in live mode.

I'm using the a test account in live mode.

The date that I'm trying to suply is XXXX - it can't expire because I'm not changing a date. According to the CIM XML guide, when XXXX is passed as date then the original date remains unchanged.

btw, I'm able to change all fields without problem. I can also set the date, the problem rises only when I want to keep the date unchanged by suppliying XXXX as date...

Look like you found a bug on the SDKs. The expirationDate is saving as a Date field and not a string field. And it saving it as 01/1970.

Don't set the expirationDate at all and use the following code fix.

Thanks for the link!

Too bad that the patch is still not included in the SDK...
