Changing JSP files to select a preferred currency

You can allow customers to select a preferred currency from a list of supported currencies.

Procedure

  1. Determine the store pages, and their associated JSP files, for which you want to create a list of currencies.
  2. For every page that a list is to display, open the JSP file of that page.
  3. To add a preferred currency list at the store level, use the following query as an example. This query gets a list of currencies from which customers can choose their preferred currency. 
    
<%@ page import="com.ibm.commerce.price.utils.*" %>
<%@ page import="com.ibm.commerce.common.objects.*" %>
<%@ page import="com.ibm.commerce.server.*" %>
<%@ page import="com.ibm.commerce.command.*" %><%
    CommandContext commandContext = (CommandContext)
       
request.getAttribute(ECConstants.EC_COMMANDCONTEXT);
    StoreAccessBean storeAB = commandContext.getStore();
    CurrencyManager cm = CurrencyManager.getInstance();
    String[] supportedCurrencies =
cm.getSupportedCurrencies(storeAB);
%>
    After the customer has chosen a currency, you can set it by invoking the SetCurrencyPreference command.
