IBM SG24-6320-00 Pricing, New task commands, New data bean methods, Changed price task commands

Draft Document for Review July 28, 2004 7:33 pm 6320ch_DEV_post_migration.fm

If your WebSphere Commerce Suite V5.1 solution contains code that uses connectors, you must rewrite this code to use the J2EE Connector Architecture. For more information about the J2EE Connector Architecture, see:

http://java.sun.com/j2ee/connector

Note: This does not apply to code that uses the WebSphere Commerce Suite V5.1 messaging subsystem, as this subsystem abstracts the specifics about the implementation connector architecture.

8.2.8 Pricing

Some of the APIs for calculating and retrieving prices have changed from WebSphere Commerce Suite V5.1.

New task commands

Table 8-3shows the three task commands, related to price calculations, that have changed since WebSphere Commerce Suite V5.1. The three task commands were introduced in WebSphere Commerce Suite V5.4.

Table 8-3 Changed price task commands

WebSphere Commerce Suite V5.1	WebSphere Commerce V5.6
GetBaseUnitPriceCmd	GetContractUnitPriceCmd
GetBaseSpecialPriceCmd	GetContractSpecialPriceCmd
GetProductBaseUnitPriceCmd	GetProductContractUnitPriceCmd

New data bean methods

In WebSphere Commerce V5.6, the following data beans were modified, replacing the method getCalculatedPrice with the method getCalculatedContractPrice:

ItemDataBean

PackageDataBean

ProductDataBean

CatalogEntryDataBean

InterestItemDataBean

BundleDataBean

The old data bean methods and task commands are still available in WebSphere Commerce V5.6, but is we recommend that any code depending on these methods and commands be migrated to use the new methods and commands.
