Interface ItemPricingEngine

All Superinterfaces:

PricingEngine

All Known Implementing Classes:

ItemPricingEngineImpl

public interface ItemPricingEngine
extends PricingEngine

This extension of the PricingEngine interface describes an object whose job it is to determine prices for CommerceItem objects. There are three different ways an ItemPricingEngine can determine items' prices:

• priceItem
• priceEachItem
• priceItems

priceItem prices a single item within an input context. priceEachItem prices a number of items all at once, but pretends that each is in its own context by itself. priceItems prices a number of items all at once, and assumes that they're all together in one big pricing context. The context in which items are priced can be important, because some modifications to an item's price may only take place if the item appears in a pricing context with other items. For example, a certain pricing model (promotion) may only give 10 percent off if there's one red item and one blue item in the pricing context. Alone, neither of the items would get the discount. Together, they may. An ItemPricingEngine assumes that the objects in pPricingModels are RepositoryItems that describe a price modification.
