6.1 Start with an existing asset store
You should start with an existing storefront asset store. This reduces the potential for problems and ensures that you have everything that make the own working asset store. The available asset stores for Extended Sites are:
B2BDirectStorefrontAssetStore.sar
ConsumerDirectStorefrontAssetStore.sar
These files can be found...
wc_installdir\starterstores\ExtendedSites
The WebSphere Commerce Business Edition ships with a number of starter stores. These stores are used as a basis for the creation of customized stores for individual WebSphere Commerce clients. The starter store that we are going to use in this task is the ConsumerDirectStorefrontAssetStore.sar.
Looking into the sar file, there are five directories:
META-INF
SAR-INF
StoreAssetsDir
tools
WEB-INF
The contents of the META-INF directory need not be touched in the customization process. SAR-INF contains information about the sar file itself (what the organization of the file looks like and how it is to be unpacked). The contents of this directory normally should not be affected by customization efforts. // Clear related topics
