To use the Management Center attribute dictionary
for your site after your site is migrated from WebSphere Commerce
Version 6 to WebSphere Commerce Version 7, you must perform the following
tasks to prepare your store to use the migrated attribute dictionary
data for your site.
Before you begin
Ensure that all of your attributes are migrated to be attribute
dictionary attributes. When you successfully migrate your attributes,
the attributes are automatically available within the Management Center
attribute dictionary.
Procedure
- Access your migrated attribute dictionary data from the
server-side Java code by using SOA web services to access the attribute
dictionary attributes for a catalog entry.
- If you site uses WebSphere Commerce search (Solr-based search),
use the SOA web services for the following nouns:
- If you site does not use WebSphere Commerce search, use the SOA
web services for the following nouns:
- Modify your JSP file to use the
getdata tag.
Your non-attribute dictionary attributes are accessed with data beans.
To access attribute dictionary data, you must change all the data
bean commands to use the wcf:getData tag in any JSP
file that is to retrieve the attribute dictionary attributes.
The following sample JSP file code modifies the
Stores/WebContent/Madisons/Snippets/Catalog/CatalogEntryDisplay/CachedProductOnlyDisplay.jsp file
to use the
wcf:getData tag to access attribute dictionary
data:
<wcf:getData type="com.ibm.commerce.catalog.facade.datatypes.CatalogEntryType[]"
var="catalogEntriesForAttributes" expressionBuilder="getCatalogEntryByParentCatalogEntryId">
<wcf:contextData name="storeId" data="${param.storeId}"/>
<wcf:param name="catEntryId" value="${product.productID}"/>
<wcf:param name="dataLanguageIds" value="${WCParam.langId}"/>
<wcf:param name="accessProfile" value="IBM_Store_CatalogEntryAttributes"/>
</wcf:getData>
