Class SmartValue

java.lang.Object
  com.beasys.commerce.foundation.SmartValue

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable

Direct Known Subclasses:

OrderValue, PaymentTransactionValue, ShippingMethodValue

public abstract class SmartValue

extends Object

implements Serializable

The SmartValue is a data-only representation of the contents of a BSC Entity. The SmartValue makes it possible to set and retrieve the entire contents of an entity (also known as Copy Helpers, or View objects). This may be used as an optimization to avoid retrieving the attributes of an entity one at a time. So that the value may be passed remotely, the class must be serializable. The associated BSC Entity will implement a setByValue and getByValue that respectively accept and return the appropriate SmartValue. This Class will be generated automatically by the SmartGenerator.
