public interface PricingEngine
OrderPricingEngine extends
PricingEngine and has the job of calculating prices for orders which it is passed.
It's clear from looking at this interface that it's largely a marker interface; there's
only one method in it. This is because it's impossible to tell exactly what information
will be necessary for a given PricingEngine implementation to calculate a price for
its class of object. For example, the ItemPricingEngine implementation needs
one set of input parameters, whereas the OrderPricingEngine needs a different set.
The one thing all PricingEngine implementations have in common is the ability
to process pricing models, which by default are repository items that define a modification
to a price. The method getPricingModels extracts a Collection
of pricing models from an input profile.| Modifier and Type | Field and Description |
