https://myhostname/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/AutoBidSubmit?paymentPolicyString=policyId=200;cardBrand=Brand2;cardNumber=111111111111;cardExpiryMonth=01;cardExpiryYear=2004&storeId=10001&redirecturl=AuctionAckView&aucrfn=10001&autobid_action=create&autobidrfn=A2-104737209889-147096&bidval=10&maxbidlimit=200&bidquant=2 &bidquantflg=On&bidauthflg=On&bidbillrfn=10051&bidshprfn=10051&bidshpmod=10001
Behavior
- Looks up the auction based on the specified auction reference
number and verifies that the auction status is Current or Future.
Verifies that the auction type is Open Cry.
- If the bid value was not specified, calculates the amount.
- Checks that the bid value meets best bid value requirements.
- Calls the following commands to perform various algorithms that
verify the data:
- The CheckBidderQualification task command to determine whether
the customer is qualified to submit bids. For the default implementation
of this task, all registered customers are qualified to submit bids.
- The CheckBidderStatus task command to ensure that the customer
has seen the auction rules.
- The CheckGenBidRef task command to check the validity of the provided
bid reference number.
- The CheckBidControl task command to determine if the bidding rules
were followed and that the bid quantity is less than or equal to the
quantity on auction.
- The DataCrypt command to encrypt the credit card number.
- The CheckCCNumber task command to verify the credit card number.
- The AddressAccessBean and AddressBookAccessBean to validate the
shipping and billing addresses.
- Calls the ShipModeAccessBean to validate the shipping mode reference number.
- The CheckBidderQualification task command to determine whether
the customer is qualified to submit bids. For the default implementation
of this task, all registered customers are qualified to submit bids.
- If called when an autobid is created, adds the new autobid with
a status of Active, creates a new row in the AUTOBIDLOG table with
the autobid message set to Superseded and updates the existing autobid
with the new values. Bid value, quantity, and creation time cannot
be updated.
- Calls the MemberAuctionAccessBean to add the auction to the auction
gallery.
- If the auction status is Current:
- If creating a new autobid, then creates a new bid in the BID table, establishing a double link between
the bid and its autobid.
- Otherwise the existing bid is updated with the new autobid values. Bid value, quantity, and creation time cannot be updated.
- If creating a new autobid, then creates a new bid in the BID table, establishing a double link between
the bid and its autobid.
