Commerce Entities

Encapsulates both properties and relationships

Can be extended to include new properties and new relationships

Supported by meta data that provides descriptive information about the Commerce Entity that can be retrieved via the API.

Operations

Provides CRUD capabilities on Commerce Entities

Consists of one or more Operation Sequences

May be extended

The response of the operation may be extended

Operation Sequences

Operation Sequences can be plugged/unplugged on a per-channel basis

Out-of-the-box Operation Sequences can be replaced by custom ones

Operation Sequences are reusable components that can be created and reused on other projects

Third parties may create new operations that may be purchased rather than custom built

var productQuery = new Query<CommerceEntity>(“Product”);

productQuery.Properties.Add(“Id”);

productQuery.Properties.Add(“DisplayName”);

productQuery.SearchCriteria.Model.Properties.Add(“Id”, “1243”);

productQuery.SearchCriteria.Model.Properties.Add(“CatalogId”,”Adventure

Works Catalog”);

Response response = OperationServiceAgent.ProcessRequest(requestContext,

productQuery.ToRequest())

UI Components built as ASP.NET 3.5 Web Parts, providing a number of significant advantages:

Web part connections can be used to marshal requests to Commerce Server

Web parts may be made aware of the zone on a page in which they can reside

Web parts may be personalized by an end user

Web parts can be arranged on a page by a business user in the browser using Windows SharePoint Services or Microsoft Office SharePoint Server

XSLT Templat

e

Product XML

XSL transforms stored in a template

Templates may be managed in a document library when the web part is used with SharePoint

Allows multiple templates to be built, tested and applied by a business user
