Customizing the data persistence layer
The IBM Gift Center data persistence layer is consistent with that of WebSphere Commerce. You can customize the persistence layer exactly the same way as other WebSphere Commerce components. There is nothing specific for customizing this layer for the IBM Gift Center.
Most database tables contain customizable fields (such as Field1, Field2, and Field3), and it is recommended that you use these customizable fields for this purpose. If there are not enough customizable fields for your business needs, then create a new database table with EJB beans and generated access beans.
