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.
Browser integration techniques
If you integrate the IBM Sales Center with an existing WebSphere Commerce application, you can leave part of the application's browser interface intact and allow the user to switch to the browser to interact with that portion of the application.

Browser integration techniques

If you integrate the IBM Sales Center with an existing WebSphere Commerce application, you can leave part of the application's browser interface intact and allow the user to switch to the browser to interact with that portion of the application.

Browser integration support is provided by declaring an extension to the WebSphere Everyplace Deployment extension point com.ibm.eswe.workbench.WctWebApplication.

The browser integration in the IBM Sales Center launches the WebSphere Commerce Accelerator and the Organization Administration Console by default. The IBM Sales Center client, provides default autologon support for the WebSphere Commerce Accelerator and the Organization Administration Console.
