Shopping cart in portal 8.1

Question

Folks,
How do I create a shopping cart in WebLogic portal 8.1? Is there any ready made
template available?
Thanks
Johnson

Answer 1

There currently aren't any samples or template JSPs that use commerce in
8.1.
The 7.0 version of WLP included wlcsDomain and wlcsApp, which was a
commerce sample that had sample shopping cart code. However, most of
that code in encapsulated in 7.0 PipelineComponents, which are
deprecated in 8.1. You can look at the code in there
(bea/weblogic700/samples/portal/wlcsDomain/beaApps/wlcsApp/src in
examples/wlcs/sampelapp/shoppingcart) for how to manipulate a shopping
cart. Additionally, the wlcs webapp has code and jsps (in wlcsApp/wlcs
and WEB-INF/src under that) you can look at. The APIs haven't changed
significantly between 7.0 and 8.1.

Is there any readymade JSP template comes with portal 8.1 to use? Or Do I need
to design the shopping cart GUI?

You can add the commerce class to your application by
right-mouse-clicking on the appliation in Workshop and choosing
Install|Commerce Services. This will basically give you commerce.jar,
APP-INF/lib/commerce_util.jar, and replace wps-toolSupport.war with
toolSupport.war. It's best to do this while your server is not running.
Once you have that, you can access the
com.beasys.commerce.ebusiness.shoppingcart classes. There are javadoc
for those
(http://edocs.bea.com/wlp/docs81/javadoc/com/beasys/commerce/ebusiness/shoppingcart/package-summary.html).
You can also look at the 7.0 and 4.0 docs for portal, which contain
information about using the commerce classes (although webflow and
pipeline are gone, the base commerce classes haven't significantly changed).
