Example: Category Count (implicit profiling)

Get an overview of implementing category counts from a profiler that will contain profile definitions for movies, cooking, and sports; this overview sets the profile for the category with the highest count.

For the Category Count example, assume a repository of articles on sports, movies, and cooking is available for the user to view. Each time the user views an article, a record is logged to show his or her preference for that topic. For this to occur, each article must be a JSP that implements category beans. For example, the following code would appear on a sports article:

<jsp:useBean class="com.ibm.wcp.analysis.beans.Category" id="category" 
scope="session">
</jsp:useBean>
<% category.log(request, "Articles/Sports"); %>

These values were typed into the Attribute text field during the creation of this profiler after selecting current Category Count.

A complete version of this profiler will contain profile definitions for movies and cooking for the cases where those category counts are greater than sports and each other.

Category count

ArticlePreference is        Sports when
            current Category Count.Articles.Sports is greater than current Category Count.Articles.Cooking and             current Category Count.Articles.Sports is greater than current Category Count.Articles.Movies
