Method Detail

purchase

int purchase(java.lang.String pId,
             long pHowMany)
             throws InventoryException

Actually purchases a product. The backend inventory system should register that a purchase has been made.

Parameters:

pId - the id of the item involved

Returns:

INVENTORY_STATUS_SUCCEED or INVENTORY_STATUS_FAIL

Throws:

InventoryException - if there was a problem during the purchase process.

purchaseOffBackorder

int purchaseOffBackorder(java.lang.String pId,
                         long pHowMany)
                         throws InventoryException

Actually purchases a product. The backend inventory system should register that a purchase has been made. If the purchase succeeds, the item's backorderLevel is increased appropriately.

Parameters:

pId - the id of the item involved

Returns:

INVENTORY_STATUS_SUCCEED or INVENTORY_STATUS_FAIL

Throws:

InventoryException - if there was a problem during the purchase process.

purchaseOffPreorder

                        long pHowMany)
                        throws InventoryException

Actually purchases a product. The backend inventory system should register that a purchase has been made. If the purchase succeeds, the item's preorderLevel is increased appropriately.
