JSP page designer

To create JSP pages for WebSphere Commerce you should have Rational Application Developer skills and JSP skills. You should also be familiar with JSTL.

For background information describing how JSP pages are implemented in WebSphere Commerce read these topics:

• Display design pattern

• WebSphere Commerce data beans

JSP page designers can create JSP pages without using the WebSphere Commerce engine, resulting in reduced development time. For more information refer to the topic, WebSphere Commerce JSP viewer.

 

Samples:

For many sites, development begins with modifying one of the starter stores provided with WebSphere Commerce. The starter stores include a complete set of JSP pages necessary for a fully-functional store. The JSP pages may be modified as necessary for use in your store. For information about the starter stores, refer to the topics in the Easy start section.

The business process model is useful to determine the flow of store pages. The business processes also list the implementation details for (JSP pages, data beans and views) for each task described in the model.

In addition to the starter stores WebSphere Commerce provides JSP code snippets and samples. JSP code snippets illustrate a specific WebSphere Commerce feature. The snippet is a Javaless JSP fragment that use to add functionality to a store. See the Samples Gallery and Tutorials for more information.
