Are you using JSP pages with Struts or some other framework?
If you haven't done XMLHttpRequest explicitly in your javascript, I doubt RAD would do it for you. Are you using JQuery in your javascript? Or Dojo? Either of those has methods that invoke XMLHttpRequest.
How does the payment processor know what page the request is coming from? I'm guessing it comes from the Referer header (RFC2616 14.36). That's something the browser puts in when it builds and sends a request to a server. Basically, when you click a link to a url, the browser puts the url of the page that contains the link into the Referer header. If you're using frames, or some other mechanism that puts lots of pages into the viewport, the browser can be confused as to which page actually is the referrer. I've never actually tracked down what the browser puts in this header when you use XMLHttpRequest as a scriptable substitute for clicking a link. The protocol specifies certain conditions where this header should not be sent at all, so it's possible XMLHttpRequest omits it.

Don't be sorry! thanks for help.
App developed using Rational Application Developer running WAS(Websphere Application Server) on our iSeries.
(If its OK I can send more info, but don't want to be to presumptious as you do have your day jobs!)
I have not explictly used AJAX-style XMLHttpRequest calls but I think WebSphere implements it.
Its not clear in Websphere how you explictly define the HTTP headers ? but I am looking into it.
I can get the payment company to only allow the check out page URL into their system, but given what you have said they maybe valid requests.
As I was thinking the other URL pages are invalid.
Thanks again.

Sorry. Not nearly enough information about your app to begin to make suggestions. Are you using AJAX-style XMLHttpRequest calls to their site?
If so, you may need to be more explicit about what goes in the http headers as you're at the mercy of the browser as to the default values it'll put in there.

Thanks for your idea, will try that.
But just found out from payment company that URL page they receive as response from my app is not always the payment page from my application (only page which has link to their website).
These pages are from my application but contain no code to go to their link!
Thinking this is the problem, but cannot understand how this could happen.
Any ideas ??

Some customer's browser still has old version of the page or javascript cached? Best practice is to change the name of your javascript file when you make changes in it to prevent cached copies from being used.

Hi,
Implemented Jeffs suggestion where my Java Script dynamically fills Action variable.
But program still sometimes goes to payment company withour writing record to iSeries.
I know this because I write a log record when Javscript writes to iSeries (there is no record) but there is a log record stating that payment company has called my response URL.
Have no idea how this keeps happening as Jeffs suggestion seemed foolproof.
Any ideas/help greatly appreciated.

I am an RPG programmer and have never really used JAVA for web development.
What I suggested should work regardless of the programming language. I use PHP for my web development work, but I think RPG 4 can do web stuff as well by building HTML on the fly? I have used BCD's WebSmart products in the past to integrate that type of work on the AS400. Good Luck!
Thanks,

Set your Action destination for the Form as a variable and only the
JAVA servlet sets the variable as the pay site. Set the default for
the
variable as an
error or message page or wherever you need it to go if the JAVA
servlet
fails,
then it has to go through the JAVA servlet to get to the pay site. The
other
option is have the Form Submit to a processing page that does the JAVA
servlet that diverts it to the appropriate place from there.

When submit button on HTML form is pressed, JavaScript is run to
call a
JAVA
Servlet.
If processing in Servlet is successful I go to an external payment
company
site.
But have had instances where JavaScript is not run and user goes
directly
to
payment site without Servlet being run.
Application processes about 1000 users in a week, and maybe just 1
or
2
of
those will be as above.
I have never been able to recreate problem in my testing.
I am running app on a Websphere server running on an iSeries.
Please help!
