The ProductList
component, which maintains the list of Entry
objects in its items
property, also includes a reference to a TableInfo
object in its tableInfo
property. The TableInfo
component maintains the display information to compare the products in table form, such as the properties to display in the table, the column headings for the table, and the sorting instructions for the table.
Depending on the complexity of your commerce application, you may require multiple instances of ProductComparisonList
and TableInfo
. In general, however, an application will maintain one instance of ProductComparisonList
and one instance of TableInfo
for each comparison table desired.
For detailed information on TableInfo
, refer to the Implementing Sortable Tables chapter in the ATG Page Developer's Guide. For JSP examples of how to use the ProductList
and TableInfo
components to manage product comparisons, refer to the Implementing Product Comparison chapter of the ATG Commerce Guide to Setting Up a Store. For an example of using multiple instances of TableInfo
to manage a single product comparison table, refer to the Viewing Compare Results section of the Displaying and Accessing the Product Catalog chapter in the ATG Business Commerce Reference Application Guide.
