Example 1

The following example adds an attribute value, with value 1 as the type and testattribute as the name, to the catalog entry 10001 and attribute 10001:

http://host_name/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/AttributeValueAdd?
catentryId=10001&attributeId=10001&descLangId=-1&field1
=0&field2=field2&field3=field3&image1=image1.gif&
image2=image2.gif&name=testattribute value&value=1&URL=
LogonForm

 

Example 2

The following example adds attribute value 12345 to product attribute 10002:

http://host_name/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/AttributeValueAdd?
attributeId=10002&value=12345&sequence=0&field1=1&
field2=field2&field3=field3&image1=image1.gif&image2=
image2.gif&URL=LogonForm

 

Example 3

The following example adds a product attribute, with testattribute as the name, to attribute 10004. The assigned float value is 2.2, the integer value is 1, and the string value is string. Depending on the type of attribute (string, float, or integer), the corresponding value will be used as the value for the attribute value:

http://host_name/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/AttributeValueAdd?
attributeId=10004&sequence=0&field1=0&field2=field2&
field3=field3&floatValue=2.2&image1=image1.gif&image2=
image2.gif&integerValue=1&name=test
attribute&stringValue=
string&URL=LogonForm

 

Behavior

• This URL creates an attribute value based on the given parameter, either a product attribute value or an item attribute value. However, it is recommend that you use the AttributeValueUpdate when creating an item attribute value.

• If cagtentryId is not supplied, then the attribute value will be assigned as catentryId=0, which identifies a product attribute value.

• The integerValue, floatValue, and stringValue parameters are optional, as long as the value parameter is provided.

• If descLangId is not supplied, then the logon language ID will be used

Exception conditions

The attribute value type should be different than the attribute type.

Before creating an attribute value for an item attribute, first create the product attribute value. For example, if the attribute is "Color", create the values, such as "Red", "Blue", and "Yellow" for the product attribute value first.
