Gold R11 paypal_base reference in web.config

[AbleMods]

There's a reference in web.config for PayPal:

Code: Select all

<section name="paypal" type="com.paypal.sdk.core.ConfigSectionHandler, paypal_base" />

How is it working? There is no paypal_base.dll in the /bin/ folder. Is it even necessary now?

This had been added in Gold R3 because express checkout wasn't working in sandbox mode. It is handled by an external file (App_Data/paypal.config) that contains endpoints for the API. You can see the following line just below the </configSections>

Code: Select all

<paypal configSource="App_Data\paypal.config"/>

It seems that all this is no longer required since we have updated PayPal integration to use latest SDK in Gold R9. I am going to open a bug report for testing and to make sure everything is working as expected without these endpoints in place.

Thanks for pointing this out.

No problem. I was trying to implement the PayPal REST API when it kept picking up your config section. Both yours and mine want to see a <PayPal> section web.config.
