Add the manufacturer part number data to the search result

In this step we will extend the populateSearchResult() method to contain the manufacturer's part number as part of its search result data. Using the UserData field, we will add a field called manufacturerPartNumber give it a value of the manufacturer part number in the catalog entry. The UserData field name and value is then added to the reply BOD (Business Object Document) that is sent back to the IBM Sales Center client.

To extend the populateSearchResult() method:

Procedure

1. Add the following code to the ExtendedShowElectronicCatalog class:

   public ElectronicCatalogSearchResultBean
   populateSearchResult(CatalogEntryDataBean abnCatalogEntry, 
           boolean isHeaderOnlyRequired, boolean
   isMerchandisingAssociationRequired,    boolean isGetDetails, ElectronicCatalogSearchResultBean
   abnSearchResult) 
           throws ECException {
           
           final String METHODNAME = "populateSearchResult";
    ECTrace.entry(ECTraceIdentifiers.COMPONENT_MESSAGING, CLASSNAME, METHODNAME);
          super.populateSearchResult(abnCatalogEntry, isHeaderOnlyRequired, 
           isMerchandisingAssociationRequired, isGetDetails, abnSearchResult);
           try {
                 
   abnSearchResult.addUserDataField("manufacturerPartNumber",  
             abnCatalogEntry.getManufacturerPartNumber());
           } 
           catch (javax.naming.NamingException e) {
                   throw new ECSystemException(ECMessage._ERR_GENERIC, CLASSNAME, METHODNAME, 
                   ECMessageHelper.generateMsgParms(e.toString()), e);
           } 
           catch (FinderException e) {
                   throw new
   ECSystemException(ECMessage._ERR_FINDER_EXCEPTION, CLASSNAME, 
                   METHODNAME, ECMessageHelper.generateMsgParms(e.toString()), e);
           } 
           catch (CreateException e) {
                   throw new
   ECSystemException(ECMessage._ERR_CREATE_EXCEPTION, CLASSNAME, 
                   METHODNAME, ECMessageHelper.generateMsgParms(e.toString()), e);
           } 
           catch (RemoteException e) {
                   throw new
   ECSystemException(ECMessage._ERR_REMOTE_EXCEPTION, CLASSNAME, 
                   METHODNAME, ECMessageHelper.generateMsgParms(e.toString()), e);
           }
           return abnSearchResult;
           }
