Adding Commerce Services to an Application

You can add commerce functionality to your portal application, which adds commerce services, a commerce API, and a set of JSP tags to the portal application and portal Web project. Commerce services include catalog, order, shopping cart, tax, payment, and shipping. For technical details on the commerce services, see the WebLogic Portal Javadoc com.bea.commerce.* and com.beasys.commerce.* packages.

To add commerce to your application

Open your portal application in WebLogic Workshop Platform Edition.
Stop the server.
In the Application window, right-click the portal application folder and choose Install-->Commerce Services. The following files, APIs, and JSP tags are added to your portal application:

<PORTAL_APP>\Modules\commerce.jar
<PORTAL_APP>\Modules\toolSupport.war Web application

Contains services for campaign cleanup, ad clickthrough behavior, cache management, non-text binary content viewing, campaign e-mail previewing, placeholder previewing, and adds catalog browsing. Replaces wps-toolSupport.war.
<PORTAL_APP>\Libraries\commerce_util.jar

Install the commerce JSP tags in a portal Web Project. In the Application window, right click the portal Web project folder and choose Install-->Commerce Taglibs. The following JSP tag libraries are added:
- <project>\WEB-INF\lib\cat_taglib.jar
