Replacing task commands called by a controller command
Replacing task commands allows you to modify how a particular step in the business process is performed. A controller command often calls several task commands that perform individual tasks. Collectively, these tasks make up the business process represented by the controller command. You may need to change the way in which a particular step in the process is performed, rather than adding new business logic to the beginning or end of the controller command. In this case, you must replace the implementation of the task command that you want to override, with the implementation of a new task command that performs the task in your desired manner.
About this task
As a result of the design of the WebSphere Commerce programming model, you do not need to
create a new controller command implementation class to replace the task command. The controller
command instantiates the task command by calling the command factory's
createCommand
method. The command factory uses the task command's interface name
and then determines the correct implementation class, based upon the command registry. As such, to
replace the task command that gets instantiated, you must create a new task command implementation
class and then update the command registry so that the original task command interface name is
associated with the new task command implementation class. Refer to Customizing existing task commands for more information.
