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.

About this task

To replace a page in an IBM Sales Center editor:

Procedure

Define a new editor pages extension point definition (following the example at this link). The new definition will contain the same pages as the default definition, except for the page to be replaced. New editor pages need to implement the IEditorPage interface, and TelesalesEditorPage is a useful superclass to extend.
Use the com.ibm.commerce.telesales.configurator extension point to indicate that the new definition will be used instead of the default IBM Sales Center definition.
