Grails Paypal plugin 0.3 released

The Grails plugins project has accepted me as a committer. I am working on the Paypal plugin for Grails because I need it for a production site.

Today, I released V0.3 of the Paypal plugin. You can install it as usual with

• grails install-plugin paypal

A description of the plugin is available at:

• http://grails.org/PayPal+Plugin

The main changes in release 0.3:
Bugfix:

• The plugin now gives a proper response to Paypal when Paypal sends an IPN. Before, the plugin did not send a response so that Paypal repeated the IPN message several times.

New feature:

• Analogous to the parameters ‚returnController‘ and ‚returnAction‘, we now have ‚cancelController‘ and ‚cancelAction‘. You can specify a controller and an action to process the cancellation of a payment.

More changes are on the way. Matt Stine has written code that allows you to purchase an entire shopping cart full of items instead of a single item as the plugin can do today. The new code is still under test.

Cheers,
Matthias
