Change JSP files to select a preferred currency

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

To allow customers to choose a preferred currency from a list, complete the following steps to change the JSP files:

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.
