One of Commerce Reference Store’s primary goals is to provide examples of how you can incorporate Endeca-driven pages into your application. This section gives an overview of the example pages included in Commerce Reference Store to date.

In Experience Manager, Commerce Reference Store defines a browse page, accessed via the /browse URL, as its starting point for page-based queries. The browse page has a single Endeca content slot for items of type Page. Commerce Reference Store configures this slot to get its content from the /content/Web/Web Browse Pages content collection, which contains three examples of Endeca-driven pages in this order:

All three pages use the same template, the TwoColumnPage template. However, the cartridges included in the three sections are slightly different for each page. The follow sections provide more details on when each page is triggered and what the page contains.

Note: Any mechanism that generates links for the browse page must use the /browse URL. (Note that a different URL is configured for the browse page for mobile applications.) Commerce Reference Store cartridge handlers use the /atg/endeca/assembler/cartridge/manager/DefaultActionPathProvider component provided with the ATG Platform to generate these links properly. See Controlling How Cartridges Generate URLs in the ATG Endeca Integration Guide for more information on this component.
