IBM Gift Center business rules and instance.xml

All business rules within the GiftRegistryRuleRegistry API are enabled in the WC_installdir/instances/instance/xml/instance.xml file. The WebSphere Commerce Registry Manager maintains a set of registries for caching WebSphere Commerce runtime data. When you change data in the tables associated with a registry, refresh the registry; otherwise, the WebSphere Commerce runtime environment will not recognize the new data.

The registry manager can manage any registries associated to it. To register a registry with the registry manager, define it by adding it under the <Registries> tag in the instance.xml file. The gift registry rules registry will likewise implement the base com.ibm.commerce.registry interface and will also be associated with the registry manager.

The GiftRegistryRuleRegistry API is enabled in the instance.xml file, as follows:

<registry name="GiftRegistryRuleRegistry" 
regClassName="com.ibm.commerce.giftregistry.registry.
GiftRegistryRuleRegistry"/>
