Usage

To use this service request on a JSP page use the expression-builder, getCategoryWithChildrenCategories, and pass the catGroupId parameter.

The expression-builder maps to the following XPath expression:

{_wcf.ap=$accessProfile$}/CatalogGroup[CatalogGroupIdentifier[UniqueID='$catGroupId$']]

The default is: accessProfile=WC_CatalogGroupCatalogGroupChildrenProfile

This service request uses the
CatalogGroupDataBean data bean.

 

Exceptions

If there is an error the error is reported in the Response message. You can see the error details in the trace log, SystemOut.log.

 

Customization

The following extensions are supported:

• Create your own implementation of the interface ComposeCatalogGroupTaskCmd. By creating your own implementation of the ComposeCatalogGroupTaskCmd, and an access profile you can control the level of information returned by these services.
