Business logic
Name-value pair command framework
The name-value pair framework is the only command framework that existed in releases of WebSphere Commerce Version 6, prior to Feature Pack 3.0.1. This command framework uses name-value pairs as input to the business logic layer, and returns the responses as name-value pairs.
Command types
WebSphere Commerce commands are Java beans that contain the programming logic associated with handling a particular request. Commands perform a specific business process, such as adding a product to the shopping cart, processing an order, updating a customer's address book, or displaying a specific product page.
Controller command programming model
The abstract class and interface are both found in the com.ibm.commerce.command package.
