Programming Guide¶

This guide describes how to make use of the NMI APIs for payment related transaction and it consists of 2 main parts:

• Step-By-Step - describes the
• API Reference - the detailed description of all the APIs mentioned in Step-By-Step

The demo application can be found here:

http://192.168.2.68/ukstore/nmi-sample/orders.jsp

Step-By-Step¶

Before begin, install the following libraries into your development environment (remove the old versions if exists):

• HttpCore 4.1.2
• HttpClient 4.1.2

Steps:

1. To get the form URL, pass the required parameters to getFormActionUrl method.
2. Use the form URL (in which obtained in the previous step) to construct the payment form with the following input elements:
   • billing-cc-number
   • billing-cc-exp
   • cvv
   • billing-first-name
3. er

Generate the form action URL¶

Generates the form action URL which is needed in the self-hosted payment form.

Method Signature:

public static String getFormActionUrl(String orderId, String orderDescription, BigDecimal orderAmount, String returnUrl)

Input Parameters¶

• orderId - the unique ID for the order
• orderDescription - a simple description of the order
• orderAmount - the settlement amount of the order in 2 decimal places, e.g. 12.34
• returnUrl - the receipt URL

Output Parameters¶

Returns a form action URL

Code Snippets¶

    String orderId = request.getParameter("order-id");
    String orderDescription = request.getParameter("order-description");
    BigDecimal orderAmount = new BigDecimal(request.getParameter("order-amount"));
    String returnUrl = request.getParameter("return-url");

    String formUrl = PaymentUtils.getFormActionUrl(orderId, 
            orderDescription, 
            orderAmount, 
            returnUrl);

Payment Status Callback¶

Queries the payment status using the token ID that returned by NMI. After obtained the payment status, update the particular record in the Interface table.

Important: This method is supposed to be placed and invoked in the very beginning of the receipt page, (a.k.a. the returnUrl that specified in Generate form action URL).

Method Signature:

public static String queryAndPersistPaymentStatus(Connection dbConnection, HttpServletRequest servletRequest)

Input Parameters¶

• dbConnection - an established database connection
• servletRequest - HttpServletRequest object which will be used to obtain the request parameter, token-id

Output Parameters¶

the order ID that used in the particular payment transaction

Code Snippets¶

    Connection connection = createDbConnection("java:/DB2DS_USA");
    String orderId = "";
    try {
        orderId = PaymentUtils.queryAndPersistPaymentStatus(connection, request);
    } finally {
        if (connection != null) {
            connection.close();
        }
    }
