Package com.softslate.commerce.businessobjects.order

Interface StatesAndCountries

All Superinterfaces:

BusinessObject

All Known Implementing Classes:

StatesAndCountriesBean

public interface StatesAndCountries
extends BusinessObject

Interface containing representations of the states and countries active in the store. The states and countries are listed for customers in the Struts layer as they enter in address information.

The database stores states in the sscState table, and countries in the sscCountry table. The Struts layer populates the two Collections when the application starts. The data is kept in the servlet's application scope and displayed to users filling in address information.

When the application needs to create an instance that implements StatesAndCountries, BusinessObjectFactory finds the name of the Java class to instantiate from the "statesAndCountriesImplementer" setting in the appComponents.properties file.

The default "statesAndCountriesImplementer" is StatesAndCountriesBean.
