Description

This course addresses complex customizations that often require EJB programming and the use of the VAJ client connector framework (CCF) to integrate with back-end systems. Topics include enhancements to the WebSphere Commerce programming model and application development environment to support B2B functionality. It also reviews common programming techniques for extending the data model and supporting new business processes.

Audience

This course is intended for WebSphere Commerce Developers, Java Programmers, WebSphere Application Server Programmers, and Database Developers who are involved in developing Java components for store business logic and designing extensions to the data model to support store business processes. Because these roles have similar prerequisite knowledge and skills (programming SQL, Java, Javascript, HTML, XML), the responsibilities have been combined into a new role called Store Programmer.
Tasks performed by a Store Programmer might include:
Create initial store
Create and manage shopper groups
Create and maintain shopping metaphors
Implement Web page design
Create templates for promotions
Create personalization / business rules
Implement payment, tax and shipping functions
Create tools/API's to integrate with legacy systems
Create tools for tracking order status, order fulfillment, tax calculation, processing payments, inventory management, address book management, and tracking site usage Test changes to site
