Direct Known Subclasses:

CustomCatalogTools

public class CatalogTools
extends GenericService
implements MessageTyper

This class represents a series of helper methods and properties that are used in the management of accessing the product catalog.

One can configure this component to define a mapping from a key to a set of alternate catalogs. This is particularly useful for internationalization.
For example: CatalogTools.properties

 $class=atg.commerce.catalog.CatalogTools

 catalog=ProductCatalog

 baseProductItemType=product
 baseCategoryItemType=category
 baseSKUItemType=sku
 baseMediaItemType=media

 productItemTypes=product
 categoryItemTypes=category
 SKUItemTypes=sku

 alternateCatalogs=\
      en_US=/atg/commerce/catalog/ProductCatalog
      fr_FR=/atg/commerce/catalog/FrenchProductCatalog
      ja_JP=/atg/commerce/catalog/JapaneseProductCatalog
      de_DE=/atg/commerce/catalog/GermanProductCatalog
 
 useDefaultCatalog=true
 

The behavior of the findProduct(), findCategory(), and findSku() methods can be modified with use of the useDefaultCatalog property. If useDefaultCatalog is false and an alternate catalog repository cannot be found that matches the pCatalogKey parameter, then no repository is searched and null will be returned.
