Hi 👋

What version of the Java SDK are you using?

honest tendon Mar 19, 2025, 3:54 PM

#

Hello

#

Am I encountering this problem because i queried the object too late ?

fervent zinc Mar 19, 2025, 3:55 PM

#

That shouldn't matter. Can you tell me what version of the SDK you are using?

honest tendon Mar 19, 2025, 3:56 PM

#

version 28.2.0

fervent zinc Mar 19, 2025, 4:00 PM

#

Does the paymentIntent object you are working with return the Charge ID when you print out paymentIntent.latest_charge?

honest tendon Mar 19, 2025, 4:02 PM

#

checking

#

yes, I see it when the object is converted to String. "latest_charge": "ch_3R3qNqCVUvdI84gC07v6S7mp",

fervent zinc Mar 19, 2025, 4:04 PM

#

Okay and we see this function here: https://github.com/stripe/stripe-java/blob/master/src/main/java/com/stripe/model/PaymentIntent.java#L437

#

So it definitely should work

honest tendon Mar 19, 2025, 4:06 PM

#

I see the value when payment intent's toString() method is called but when I evaluate paymentIntent.getLatestChargeObject()
in eclipse it returns null

#

I'll try upgrading to another version of stripe-java library

#

can you confirm maven coordinate for stripe's official java API ? It is <dependency>
<groupId>com.stripe</groupId>
<artifactId>stripe-java</artifactId>
<version>${stripe-java}</version>
</dependency> ?

fervent zinc Mar 19, 2025, 4:10 PM

#

Okay the current version is 28.4.0 and that is still on the same API version as the version you are using

#

This should work.

honest tendon Mar 19, 2025, 4:12 PM

#

trying it now

#

still fails
java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke "com.stripe.model.Charge.getBalanceTransactionObject()" because the return value of "com.stripe.model.PaymentIntent.getLatestChargeObject()" is null

#

Ok, I'll see if i can find the problem. Thanks TTL.

fervent zinc Mar 19, 2025, 4:19 PM

#

Okay hold on, the latest charge will only return a String unless you have expanded the Charge object.

#

So the java SDK doesn't have the necessary data to return a Charge object.

#

Can you try retrieving the Payment Intent while expanding the latest charge?

https://docs.stripe.com/expand

honest tendon Mar 19, 2025, 4:23 PM

#

yeah, I noticed that this.latestCharge.getExpanded() was returning a null value. So I'm processing payment intent objects sent by Stripe's webhook.. ok I need to retrieve the object again

#

You can’t receive webhook events with properties auto-expanded. Objects sent in events are always in their minimal form. To access nested values in expandable properties, you must retrieve the object in a separate call within your webhook handler.

#

I'll make the necessary changes. thanks.

fervent zinc Mar 19, 2025, 4:24 PM

#

Correct. You will need to make another request to ensure you get an expanded Charge object. Let me know if that works for you.
