Developing
The topics in the Developing section describe tasks performed by an application developer.
Presentation layer
WebSphere Commerce uses Java Server Pages (JSP) to implement the view layer of the Model-View-Controller (MVC) design pattern. The view layer is in charge of retrieving data from the database through the use of data beans and formatting it to meet the display requirements. The view layers determines whether the request is sent to a browser or streamed out as XML. JSP files present a clean separation between data content and presentation.
Customizing IBM Sales Center
In the IBM Sales Center for WebSphere Commerce there is a set of user interface panels, views and dialogs that contain the most commonly used features. You can add to or configure the user interface to suit your needs, as well as changing the content and format of the data that is passed between the client and the server.
Accelerator keys
The default IBM Sales Center accelerator keys are defined by the org.eclipse.ui.commands extension point in the com.ibm.commerce.telesales.ui.impl plug-in. This extension point allows you to define a command and a keyBinding for that command. The commands are associated with Actions by calling the setActionDefinitionId method on the Action class. Commands can also be associated with actions by specifying the command ID on the definitionId attribute of the action element of the org.eclipse.ui.actionSets extension point. The key bindings are associated with a key configuration. The default IBM Sales Center key configuration ID is com.ibm.commerce.telesales.ui.telesalesAcceleratorConfiguration. You can change the default key configuration using the system configurator.
