Examples

WebSphere Commerce provides a flexible, generic framework that can be used to implement different kinds of calculations and apply them to the applicable business objects. The framework can handle a wide variety of business and legal requirements without programming. WebSphere Commerce provides a number of overridable method implementations from which you can select to do the calculations. If business or legal requirements require a programming change, many such changes can be limited to programming additional overridable method implementations without having to make any changes to existing programming. This framework is referred to as the calculation framework.
