Customizing
The topics in the Customizing section describe tasks performed by an application developer to customize HCL Commerce.
Creating your custom store
After you install and set up your programming environment, you can create your custom store and customize your storefront. You must ensure that the store server is properly configured, and that your store assets are moved to the Store server.
Creating a custom store using JSP
This HCL Commerce store uses Java Server Pages (JSP) to implement the view layer of the Model-View-Controller (MVC) design pattern.
Customizing your store
After you review the HCL Commerce store architecture and create your custom store, you can use the programming environment to customize your store.
Changing static HTML sample store files
You can use the static HTML store to accelerate your web design cycle. When web designers use the static HTML store as a starting point, the cost of building user interface within the JSP files is reduced. You can modify the HTML and CSS files using your favorite web design tools and without a development environment. The changes can be incorporated into the corresponding JSP files by a store developer at a more convenient time.

Procedure

To modify the HTML, CSS, or both for the static HTML files:

Open the static HTML sample store asset.
The package contains different folders such as dojo15, and various store scenarios packages.
To change the store scenario packages, browse to the package, and open the HTML file that you want to change.

Note: Track the files that you modify and what changes you make to each one to prevent more work in future steps.
Using debugging tools such as Firebug, find the respective CSS file and classes to modify to change the appearance of the HTML page.
Open the CSS file, and make any necessary changes in the file.

Save your changes, and ensure that the changes are as expected.

Note: To ensure that tags are maintained, do not remove this code from static HTML store files:

<!-- BEGIN BreadCrumbTrailDisplay.jsp -->
<div class="highlight">
<div class="jspcaption" style="display:none">BreadCrumbTrailDisplay.jsp</div>
... ...
<!-- END BreadCrumbTrailDisplay.jsp -->

What to do next

A store developer must implement the changes in JSP files.
