The site is Java based and I am looking for a Java client to a web-service like credit card processor. To this point the only things I keep finding are JNI wrappers on top of a C interface. Ideally I'd like a web service like interface that can be accessed by any language. I'd prefer to avoid JNI if at all possible.
PayPal has something conceptualy similar but for various reasons we have decided to not pursue this solution. A Google search leads to a bunch of places that have PC based solutions but platform independence is a must.
Thanks in advance for any ideas.
i don't really understand what you're hoping to achieve here with platform independence, so gonna make a couple of guesses.
if you're looking for card processing, then any of worldpay, 2checkout and many others will process the card for you. these are "remote" procesing services so your customers use their SSL secure web pages.
if you need a platform independent shopping cart, then you really need to look at remote services. mals-e is one such remote service - the cart is held on their server. when the shopper click the "Add to cart" button on your site, product and price information is to the shopping cart.
mals can hook up with 2checkout and worldpay and other systems for online card processing, or you can use it to collect cards and manually process them through your own bank merchant account. there are plenty of other remote shopping carts availabe that do more or less the same job with different processing companies etc.
the only thing i know of for card processing that is java based is worldpay's select pro and select com. these are java servlets that you install on the server. they are not really platform independent because you need one type for windows and another type for *nix etc, which kinda removes the platform independence.
