Developing
The topics in the Developing section describe tasks performed by an application developer.
Controller layer
The Controller layer is the conductor of operations for a request. It controls the transaction scope and manages the session related information for the request. The controller first dispatches to a command and then calls the appropriate view processing logic to render the response.
Integrating with back-end systems and external applications
External systems integration is a key feature of the WebSphere Commerce solution. In WebSphere Commerce business logic is enabled for integration and built-in adapters and interfaces are provided for common integration points. Additionally, the WebSphere Commerce integration solution leverages integration standards by using various IBM connectivity solutions.
Customizing WebSphere Commerce Payments
OfflineCard Cassette
The OfflineCard Cassette is a passive cassette used for credit card transactions. Passive cassettes record events that have already happened outside of WebSphere Commerce Payments, but within the WebSphere Commerce Payments object model. With the OfflineCard Cassette, transactions are recorded and maintained only in the WebSphere Commerce Payments database. There is no back-end financial system with which a passive cassette communicates. For example, an Approve command using the OfflineCard Cassette records the results of an approval request which the merchant made using their existing credit card swipe box. Inclusion of this cassette makes WebSphere Commerce Payments usable right out of the box.
OfflineCard Cassette object reference
The OfflineCard Cassette object model closely reflects the generic model of WebSphere Commerce Payments. This section describes both the financial and administration objects and their cassette extensions to the various framework objects.
