Commerce Enabled Portal provides two sample commerce-enabled portal applications for use with WebSphere Portal and WebSphere Commerce:
- Winstons is the sample consumer direct commerce-enabled portal starter store. The store archive name is WebsphereB2CDirectCommerceEnabledPortal.sar.
ToolTech is the sample B2B direct commerce-enabled portal starter store. The store archive name is WebsphereB2BDirectCommerceEnabledPortal.sar.
These commerce-enabled portal applications are provided in the form of a composite store archive (.sar) and are published when you configure Commerce Enabled Portal on WebSphere Commerce. When initially published on WebSphere Commerce, the Commerce Enabled Portals starter stores look similar to other WebSphere Commerce starter stores. After configuring Commerce Enabled Portal on WebSphere Portal, the commerce-enable portal starter stores become functional commerce-enabled portals.
Each sample portal application is composed of a generic portlet and several concrete portlets. Together this portlet application contains all necessary commerce functions to implement a consumer direct or B2B direct solution.
Each concrete portlet provided with the WebSphere Commerce points to a URL on the WebSphere Commerce Server. These URLs are either a view command or a control command and correspond to an existing WebSphere Commerce URL. The content of the portlets can be customized to use other functions available through WebSphere Commerce. For more information about the structure of portlets, see Commerce Enabled Portal portlets.
For a list of the portlets in each sample commerce-enabled portal, see the following:
Note that the Commerce Enabled Portal starter stores follow the same structure as the corresponding WebSphere Commerce non-portal starter stores. That is, the consumer direct Commerce Enabled Portal starter store uses many of the same JSP files and includes most of the same features as the consumer direct starter store. The B2B direct Commerce Enabled Portal starter store uses many of the same JSP files and most of the same features as the B2B direct starter store. For more information about the structure of the JSP files and other starter store conventions, see Starter store conventions. For more information about the non portal starter stores on which the Commerce Enabled Portal starter stores are based, see Consumer direct starter store and B2B direct starter store.
