Developing a list of command and view URLs

As demonstrated in the consumer direct store shopping flow diagram, business processes, such as checkout and register, may require several pages. In order to combine these pages into a working business process or flow, rather than just a collection of pages, you must include commands and views in your pages.

Developing a list of URLs needed

Just as you developed a list of pages necessary to create the store, you also need to develop a list of the command and view URLs necessary to implement the business processes for your store. Using the shopping flow diagram for your store, and the list of default commands and views, identify the URLs necessary to complete each action.

Understanding which command and view URLs are used in the consumer direct stores may also help you determine what URLs you need in your store. The following illustration identifies the URLs for some of the actions in the consumer direct store shopping flow diagram.

Diagram of the URL structure: the URL starts with the fully qualified name of your WebSphere Commerce Server and the configuration path, followed by the URL name, Developing a list of command and view  and the ? character. End the URL with a list of parameters in the form of name value pairs. Separate each name value pair with the & character. For a detailed description of the parameters and their values, refer to the list entitled Parameter values.
