SOI and BOD service modules
SOI and BOD service modules are both used in the WebSphere Commerce Web 2.0 store, and the Management Center.
The following table shows which service module is used by different parts of WebSphere Commerce.
| SOI | BOD | |
|---|---|---|
| Presentation layer | WebSphere Commerce Struts framework | Management Center Web application |
| Business logic layer | WebSphere Commerce service commands | WebSphere Commerce BOD command framework |
| Get design pattern | Design pattern for Get service implementation (SOI) | Business Object Document Get processing pattern |
