Hi Tim, Thanks for your quick reply. Let me explore on how to extend the tutorial to interface with Paypal and see how GEP manages dependent jars file.
I will contact you here for more help. -B Tim McConnell wrote: > > Hi bonbosdude, thanks for your initial impressions of the Geronimo server > and > corresponding Eclipse Plugin.
