Defining the Shopping Parameters

An API, getShoppingParameters() on the com.ptc.sc.services.plugins.CommerceDelegate interface is available to provide custom implementation for defining the shopping parameters. A shopping parameter is defined using the SCField conceptual model. For example, to define a shopping parameter named Customer a SCField can be constructed in the following way:

SCFieldList resultList = new SCFieldList();

//Define all the options for “customer” field
Map<String,String> customerValuesMap = new HashMap<String,String>();
customerValuesMap.put("customer1","Star Logistics");
customerValuesMap.put("customer2","PowerPlus Industries");

//Create the “customer” SCField
//SCField(<displayName>,<type>,<initialValue>,<internalName>,<aOptions>)
SCField customerField = new SCField("Customer", "combo", null, "customer",
customerValuesMap);
//Add it to the SCFieldList
resultList.addItem(customerField);

Additional parameters can be defined in the same way. For more information on SCField and SCFieldList see the JavaDoc.
