Customer Profile Services

Customers who have registered with your e-commerce site may, from time to time, change the information stored in their profile. For example, customers may want to send a shipment to a different address, or use a different credit card. To help you meet your customers' needs, the Registering Customers and Managing Customer services provide you with an implementation of these Customer Profile Services. This topic describes the pages that allow registered customers to modify various aspects of their customer profile.

This topic includes the following sections:

JavaServer Pages (JSPs)

The Registering Customers and Managing Customer services contain a number of JavaServer Pages (JSPs) that allow customers to view or update their stored profile. Remember, you can always use these templates for your Web site, or you can adapt them to meet your specific needs. This section describes each of these pages in detail.

Note: For a description of the complete set of JSPs used in the Commerce services Web application and a listing of their locations in the directory structure, see the "Summary of the JSP Templates" documentation.

viewprofile.jsp Template

The viewprofile.jsp template (shown in Figure 3-1) allows a registered customer to view his or her existing profile information. It displays the existing information in five categories: personal information, shipping addresses, credit cards, username and password, and demographic information. There are options in each category for updating, deleting, or adding information.

Sample Browser View

Figure 3-1 shows an annotated version of the viewprofile.jsp template. The black lines and callout text are explanations of the template components.

Figure 3-1 Annotated viewprofile.jsp Template

Location in the Directory Structure

You can find the viewprofile.jsp template file at the following location, where PORTAL_HOME is the directory in which you installed Commerce services:

%PORTAL_HOME\applications\wlcsApp\wlcs\
commerce\user\viewprofile.jsp (Windows)

%PORTAL_HOME/applications/wlcsApp/wlcs/
commerce/user/viewprofile.jsp (UNIX)

Tag Library Imports

The viewprofile.jsp template uses existing WebLogic Server JSP tags and WebLogic Personalization Server's User Management JSP tags. Therefore, the template includes the following JSP tag libraries:

<%@ taglib uri="weblogic.tld" prefix="wl" %>
<%@ taglib uri="webflow.tld" prefix="webflow" %>
<%@ taglib uri="um.tld" prefix="um" %>

Note: For more information on the WebLogic Server JSP tags or the WebLogic Personalization Server's User Management JSP tags, see "JSP Tag Reference" in the Guide to Building Personalized Applications documentation.

These files reside in the following directory for the Commerce services Web application:

PORTAL_HOME\applications\wlcsApp\wlcs\
WEB-INF (Windows)

PORTAL_HOME/applications/wlcsApp/wlcs/
WEB-INF (UNIX)

Java Package Imports

The viewprofile.jsp template uses Java classes in the following packages and therefore includes these import statements:

<%@ page import="javax.servlet.*" %>
<%@ page import="javax.servlet.http.*" %>
<%@ page import="com.beasys.commerce.webflow.HttpRequestConstants" %>
<%@ page import="com.beasys.commerce.webflow.PipelineSessionConstants" %>
<%@ page import="com.beasys.commerce.webflow.tags.WebFlowTagConstants" %>

<%@ page import="com.beasys.commerce.axiom.contact.*" %>
<%@ page import="com.beasys.commerce.ebusiness.customer.*" %>
<%@ page import="java.text.DateFormat"%>

Location in Default Webflow

If the customer is not logged in, the page prior to the viewprofile.jsp template is the customer login page (login.jsp). If the customer is already logged in, the page prior to the viewprofile.jsp template is any page from which the customer clicks the View Profile button. Based on what the customer decides to do after viewing their profile, the next page could be any of the following:

editprofile.jsp, which allows customers to edit their personal information, including their name, contact address, and phone numbers,
editdemographics.jsp, which allows customers to edit their demographic information,
profilenewaddress.jsp, which allows customers to add a new shipping address,
profileeditaddress.jsp, which allows customers to edit a shipping address,
profilenewcc.jsp, which allows customers to add a new credit card to the profile,
profileeditcc.jsp, which allows customers to edit information about an existing credit card, or
changepassword.jsp, which allows customers to change their account password.

Each page is described in other sections of this document.

This template is part of the sampleapp_user namespace in the Webflow.

Note: For more information about the default Webflow, see the Guide to Managing Presentation and Business Logic: Using Webflow and Pipeline.

Included JSP Templates

The following JSP templates are included in the viewprofile.jsp template:

admin.inc, which shows the name of the current template and contains links to its About information, the JSP Template Index, and the Administration Tools. The admin.inc template should be removed from the production pages before they are moved to your live server.
stylesheet.inc, which is a cascading stylesheet that defines global paragraph and text styles for the site. The import call is:
<%@ include file="/commerce/includes/stylesheet.inc" %>
header.inc, which creates the page header. It is standard across many of the JSP templates provided by the Commerce services. The import call is:
<%@ include file="/commerce/includes/header.inc" %>
leftside.inc, which creates the left column and secondary placeholder for advertising. It is standard across many of the JSP templates provided by Commerce services. The import call is:
<%@ include file="/commerce/includes/leftside.inc" %>
footer.inc, which creates the page footer. It is standard across many of the JSP templates provided by Commerce services. The import call is:
<%@ include file="/commerce/includes/footer.inc" %>

Events

The viewprofile.jsp template presents a customer with several buttons, each of which is considered an event. These events trigger a particular response in the default Webflow that allow customers to continue. While this response can be to load another JSP, it is usually the case that an Input Processor or Pipeline is invoked first. Table 3-1 provides information about these events and the business logic they invoke.

Table 3-1 viewprofile.jsp Events

Event	Web Flow Response(s)
button.updateBasicInfo	No business logic required. Loads editprofile.jsp.
button.addNewShippingAddress	No business logic required. Loads profilenewaddress.jsp.
button.updateShippingInfo	No business logic required. Loads profileeditaddress.jsp.
button.deleteShippingAddress	DeleteShippingAddressIP DeleteShippingAddressFromProfile Pipeline
button.updateDemograhpicInfo	No business logic required. Loads editdemographics.jsp.
button.addNewCreditCard	No business logic required. Loads profilenewcc.jsp.
button.updatePaymentInfo	No business logic required. Loads profileeditcc.jsp.
button.deletePaymentInfo	DeleteCreditCardIP DeleteCreditCard Pipeline
button.changePassword	No business logic required. Loads changepassword.jsp.

Table 3-2 briefly describes each of the Pipelines from Table 3-1. For more information about individual Pipeline Components, see Pipeline Components.

Table 3-2 viewprofile.jsp Associated Pipelines

Pipeline	Description
DeleteShippingAddressFromProfile	Contains UpdateShippingInfoPC and is transactional.
DeleteCreditCard	Contains UpdatePaymentInfoPC and is transactional.

Dynamic Data Display

One purpose of the viewprofile.jsp template is to display the profile information a customer had previously entered. This is accomplished on viewprofile.jsp using a combination of WebLogic Server JSP tags, the WebLogic Personalization Server's User Management JSP tags, and accessor methods/attributes.

First, the getProfile JSP tag is used to set the customer profile (context) in the session for which the customer information should be retrieved, as shown in Listing 3-1.

Listing 3-1 Setting the Customer Context

<um:getProfile profileKey="<%=request.getRemoteUser()%>" 
 profileType="WLCS_Customer" />

Note: For more information on the User Management JSP tags, see "Personalization Server JSP Tag Library Reference" in the Guide to Building Personalized Applications documentation.

Next, the getProperty JSP tag is used to obtain the customer's contact address, a collection of the customer's shipping addresses, and a collection of the customer's credit cards, which are then initialized with data from their corresponding objects. This is shown in Listing 3-2.

Listing 3-2 Obtaining the Customer's Profile Information

<um:getProperty propertySet="CustomerProperties" propertyName="contactAddress" id="contactAddressObject" />

<um:getProperty propertySet="CustomerProperties" propertyName="shippingAddressMap" id="shippingAddressMapObject" />

<um:getProperty propertySet="CustomerProperties" propertyName="creditCardsMap" id="creditCardsMapObject" />

<%

// Convert contactAddressObject and shippingAddressMapObject to the
// correct types.
    Address contactAddress = (Address) contactAddressObject;
    Map shippingAddressMap = (Map) shippingAddressMapObject;
    Map creditCardsMap = (Map) creditCardsMapObject;

    // initialize shippingAddressMap
    if(shippingAddressMap == null) {
        shippingAddressMap = new HashMap();    }

%>

The data stored within these objects can now be accessed by calling accessor methods/attributes within Java scriptlets. Table 3-3 provides more detailed information about the methods/attributes for both the contact and shipping addresses. Table 3-4 provides information about the methods/attributes for the customer's credit cards.

Table 3-3 contactAddress/shippingAddress Accessor Methods/Attributes

Method/Attribute	Description
getStreet1()	The first line in the customer's contact or shipping street address.
getStreet2()	The second line in the customer's contact or shipping street address.
getCity()	The city in the customer's contact or shipping address.
getCounty()	The county in the customer's contact or shipping address.
getState()	The state in the customer's contact or shipping address.
getPostalCode()	The zip/postal code in the customer's contact or shipping address.
getCountry()	The country in the customer's contact or shipping address.

Table 3-4 creditCard Accessor Methods/Attributes

Method/Attribute	Description
creditCard()	The credit card name, consisting of the credit card type and 4 digits (for example, VISA-4111).

Listing 3-3 illustrates how these accessor methods/attributes are used within Java scriptlets.

Note: For more information on the User Management JSP tags, see "Personalization Server JSP Tag Library Reference" in the Guide to Building Personalized Applications.

Next, the getProperty JSP tag is used to obtain the customer's contact address, which is then initialized with data from the customer object, as shown in Listing 3-6.

Listing 3-6 Obtaining the Customer's Contact Address

<um:getProperty propertySet="CustomerProperties" propertyName="contactAddress" id="contactAddressObject" />
<%
    Address contactAddress = (Address) contactAddressObject;
%>

The data stored within the contactAddress object can now be accessed by calling accessor methods/attributes within Java scriptlets. Table 3-7 provides more detailed information about the methods/attributes for the contact address.

Table 3-7 contactAddress Accessor Methods/Attributes

Method/Attribute	Description
getStreet1()	The first line in the customer's contact street address.

<%@ page import="javax.servlet.*" %>
<%@ page import="javax.servlet.http.*" %>
<%@ page import="com.beasys.commerce.webflow.tags.WebFlowTagConstants" %>
<%@ page import="com.beasys.commerce.axiom.contact.*" %>
<%@ page import="com.beasys.commerce.ebusiness.customer.*" %>
<%@ page import="com.beasys.commerce.webflow.HttpRequestConstants" %>

Location in Default Webflow

The page before the profileeditaddress.jsp template is the page that allows a customer to view their current profile (viewprofile.jsp). If there are no errors in the form submission, the next page in the default Webflow is viewprofile.jsp. If corrections do need to be made, the profileeditaddress.jsp template is reloaded with an appropriate error message.

This template is part of the sampleapp_user namespace in the Webflow.

Note: For more information about the default Webflow, see the Guide to Managing Presentation and Business Logic: Using Webflow and Pipeline.

Included JSP Templates

The following JSP templates are included in the profileeditaddress.jsp template:

admin.inc, which shows the name of the current template and contains links to its About information, the JSP Template Index, and the Administration Tools. The admin.inc template should be removed from the production pages before they are moved to your live server.
stylesheet.inc, which is a cascading stylesheet that defines global paragraph and text styles for the site. The import call is:
<%@ include file="/commerce/includes/stylesheet.inc" %>
header.inc, which creates the page header. It is standard across many of the JSP templates provided by Commerce services. The import call is:
<%@ include file="/commerce/includes/header.inc" %>
leftside.inc, which creates the left column and secondary placeholder for advertising. It is standard across many of the JSP templates provided by Commerce services. The import call is:
<%@ include file="/commerce/includes/leftside.inc" %>
editaddresstemplate.inc, which also uses the states.inc and the countries.inc templates.
footer.inc, which creates the page footer. It is standard across many of the JSP templates provided by Commerce services. The import call is:
<%@ include file="/commerce/includes/footer.inc" %>

About the Included editaddresstemplate.inc Template

The editaddresstemplate.inc template (included in all JSP templates that allow customers to edit a shipping address) provides a standardized format for both the form field presentation and error handling. The form fields are organized in a table, and upon form submission, the Input Processors associated with the editaddresstemplate.inc template will validate the form to ensure that all required fields contain values. If errors are detected, the editaddresstemplate.inc template will be redisplayed, with an error message at the top and the offending field labels shown in a red (as opposed to the original black) font. Previously entered correct information will still be displayed in the form.

Since the editaddresstemplate.inc template allows customers to edit an existing shipping address, the form fields on the page are also prefilled with information previously entered by the customer.

The behavior described above is accomplished on the editaddresstemplate.inc template using the getValidatedValue JSP tag and the accessor methods/attributes for defaultShippingAddress, as shown in Listing 3-9.

Listing 3-9 Use of the getValidatedValue JSP Tag and Accessor Methods/Attributes on editaddresstemplate.inc

<tr>

  <td width="26%"> <webflow:getValidatedValue fieldName="<%=HttpRequestConstants.CUSTOMER_SHIPPING_ADDRESS1%>" fieldDefaultValue="<%=defaultShippingAddress.getStreet1()%>" fieldValue="customerShippingAddress1" fieldStatus="status" validColor="black" invalidColor="red" unspecifiedColor="black" fieldColor="fontColor" />

  <div class="tabletext"><font color=<%= fontColor %>>Street address</font>
  </div>

  </td>

  <td width="74%">

   <input type="text" name="<%=HttpRequestConstants.CUSTOMER_SHIPPING_ADDRESS1%>" value="<%=customerShippingAddress1%>" maxlength="30">*</td>

</tr>

Notes: For more information about the getValidatedValue JSP tag, see the Guide to Managing Presentation and Business Logic: Using Webflow and Pipeline.

For a list of the available accessor methods/attributes for defaultShippingAddress, see Table 3-14.

Events

The profileeditaddress.jsp template presents customers with two button events that trigger a particular response in the default Webflow, thereby allowing customers to continue. While this response can be to load another JSP, it is usually the case that an Input Processor or Pipeline is invoked first. Table 3-12 provides information about these events and the business logic they invoke.

Table 3-12 profileeditaddress.jsp Events

Event	Webflow Response(s)
button.back	No business logic required. Loads viewprofile.jsp.
button.save	UpdateShippingInfoIP ProfileEditAddress Pipeline

Table 3-13 briefly describes each of the Pipelines from Table 3-12. For more information about individual Pipeline Components, see Pipeline Components.

Table 3-13 profileeditaddress.jsp Associated Pipelines

Pipeline	Description
ProfileEditAddress	Contains UpdateShippingInfoPC and is transactional.

Dynamic Data Display

One purpose of the profileeditaddress.jsp template is to prepare the address information a customer had previously entered, so the editaddresstemplate.inc template can display this information in the address form fields. This is accomplished on the profileeditaddress.jsp template using a combination of Webflow JSP tags, the User Management JSP tags, and accessor methods/attributes.

First, the getProfile JSP tag is used to set the customer profile (context) in the session for which the customer information should be retrieved, as shown in Listing 3-10.

Listing 3-10 Setting the Customer Context

<um:getProfile profileKey="<%=request.getRemoteUser()%>" 
 profileType="WLCS_Customer" />

Note: For more information on the User Management JSP tags, see "Personalization Server JSP Tag Library Reference" in the Guide to Building Personalized Applications.

Next, the getProperty JSP tag is used to obtain a list of the customer's shipping addresses, which are then initialized with data from the customer object, as shown in Listing 3-11.

Listing 3-11 Obtaining the Customer's Shipping Address

<um:getProperty propertySet="CustomerProperties" propertyName="shippingAddressMap" id="shippingAddressMapObject" />

<%

  Map shippingAddressMap = (Map) shippingAddressMapObject;
  String addressKey = request.getParameter(HttpRequestConstants.ADDRESS_KEY);
  Address defaultShippingAddress = (Address) shippingAddressMap.get(addressKey);

%>

The data stored within the defaultShippingAddress object can now be accessed by calling accessor methods/attributes within Java scriptlets. In this scenario, the scriplets are in the editaddresstemplate.inc. Table 3-14 provides more detailed information about the methods/attributes for the default shipping address.

Table 3-14 defaultShippingAddress Accessor Methods/Attributes

Method/Attribute	Description
getStreet1()	The first line in the customer's shipping street address.
getStreet2()	The second line in the customer's shipping street address.
getCity()	The city in the customer's shipping address.
getCounty()	The county in the customer's shipping address.
getState()	The state in the customer's shipping address.
getPostalCode()	The zip/postal code in the customer's shipping address.
getCountry()	The country in the customer's shipping address.

Form Field Specification

The primary purpose of the profileeditaddress.jsp template is to allow customers to edit their profile information using various HTML form fields. It is also used to pass needed information to the Webflow.

About the Included editcctemplate.inc Template

The editcctemplate.inc template (included in all JSP templates that allow customers to edit a credit card) provides a standardized format for both the form field presentation and error handling. The form fields are organized in a table, and upon form submission, the Input Processors associated with the editcctemplate.inc template will validate the form to ensure that all required fields contain values. If errors are detected, the editcctemplate.inc template will be redisplayed, with an error message at the top and the offending field labels shown in a red (as opposed to the original black) font. Previously entered correct information will still be displayed in the form.

Note: The profileeditcc.jsp template and the editcctemplate.inc do not allow the user to edit a credit card number. To change a credit card number, the credit card must be deleted and then added as a new card.

Since the editcctemplate.inc template allows customers to edit an existing shipping address, the form fields on the page are also prefilled with information previously entered by the customer.

The behavior described above is accomplished on the editcctemplate.inc template using the getValidatedValue JSP tag and the accessor methods/attributes for defaultCreditCard, as shown in Listing 3-12.

Listing 3-12 Use of the getValidatedValue JSP Tag and Accessor Methods/Attributes on editcctemplate.inc

Events

The profileeditcc.jsp template presents customers with two button events that trigger a particular response in the default Webflow, thereby allowing customers to continue. While this response can be to load another JSP, it is usually the case that an Input Processor or Pipeline is invoked first. Table 3-19 provides information about these events and the business logic they invoke.

Table 3-19 profileeditcc.jsp Events

Event	Webflow Response(s)
button.back	No business logic required. Loads viewprofile.jsp.

Table 3-20 profileeditcc.jsp Associated Pipelines

Pipeline	Description
UpdateCreditCard	Contains UpdatePaymentPC and is transactional.

Dynamic Data Display

One purpose of the profileeditcc.jsp template is to prepare the credit card information a customer had previously entered, so the editcctemplate.inc template can display this information in the payment information form fields. This is accomplished on the profileeditcc.jsp template using a combination the User Management JSP tags and accessor methods/attributes.

First, the getProfile JSP tag is used to set the customer profile (context) in the session for which the customer information should be retrieved, as shown in Listing 3-13.

Listing 3-13 Setting the Customer Context

<um:getProfile profileKey="<%=request.getRemoteUser()%>" 
 profileType="WLCS_Customer" />

Note: For more information on the User Management JSP tags, see" Personalization Server JSP Tag Library Reference" in the Guide to Building Personalized Applications.

Next, the getProperty JSP tag is used to obtain the customer's list of credit cards (and related billing information), which is then initialized with data from the customer object, as shown in Listing 3-14.

Listing 3-14 Obtaining the Customer's Credit Cards and Billing Information

<um:getProperty propertySet="CustomerProperties" propertyName="creditCardsMap" id="creditCardsMapObject" />

<%

Map creditCardsMap = (Map) creditCardsMapObject;
String creditCardKey = 
  request.getParameter(HttpRequestConstants.CREDITCARD_KEY);
CreditCard defaultCreditCard = null;
defaultCreditCard = (CreditCard) creditCardsMap.get(creditCardKey);
Address billingAddress = (Address) defaultCreditCard.getBillingAddress();

%>

The data stored within the defaultCreditCard and billingAddress objects can now be accessed by calling accessor methods/attributes within Java scriptlets. Table 3-21 provides more detailed information about the methods/attributes for the defaultCreditCard, while Table 3-22 provides more information about the accessor methods/attributes on billingAddress.

One purpose of the changepassword.jsp template is to display the customer's username. This is accomplished on the changepassword.jsp template using a simple Java scriptlet, as shown in Listing 3-15.

Listing 3-15 Displaying the Customer's Username

...

  <td width="73%" valign="top">>
    <div class="tabletext">
      <b><%=request.getRemoteUser()%></b>
    </div>
  </td>

...

Note: Customers cannot change their username, only their password. If the New Password and Confirm New Password form fields are not filled in correctly, the page is displayed with all fields empty (that is, no fields are dynamically prefilled upon reload).

Form Field Specification

The primary purpose of the changepassword.jsp template is to allow customers to make changes to their password using HTML form fields. It is also used to pass needed information to the Webflow.

The form fields used in the changepassword.jsp template, and a description for each of these form fields are listed in Table 3-26.

Table 3-26 changepassword.jsp Form Fields

Parameter Name	Type	Description
"event"	Hidden	Indicates which event has been triggered. It is used by the Webflow to determine what happens next.
"origin"	Hidden	The name of the current page (changepassword.jsp), used by the Webflow.
"namespace"	Hidden	The namespace for the JSP; sampleapp_user in this JSP.
HttpRequestConstants.PASSWORD	Password	The customer's existing password used to login.
HttpRequestConstants. NEW_PASSWORD	Password	The new password chosen by the customer for login.
HttpRequestConstants. CONFIRM_PASSWORD	Password	Confirmation of the new password chosen by the customer for login.

Note: Parameters that are literals in the JSP code are shown in quotes, while non-literals will require scriptlet syntax (such as
<%= HttpRequestConstants.CONFIRM_PASSWORD %>) for use in the JSP.

editdemographics.jsp Template

The editdemographics.jsp template (shown in Figure 3-8) allows a customer to change their demographic information, which will be stored as part of their profile.

Sample Browser View

Figure 3-8 and Figure 3-9 show annotated versions of the editdemographics.jsp template. Although there are two figures, together these screen shots form the single editdemographics.jsp template. The black lines and callout text are not part of the template; they are explanations of the template components.

Location in the Directory Structure

You can find the changepassword.jsp template file at the following location, where PORTAL_HOME is the directory in which you installed Commerce services:

PORTAL_HOME\applications\wlcsApp\wlcs\
commerce\user\editdemographics.jsp (Windows)

PORTAL_HOME/applications/wlcsApp/wlcs/
commerce/user/editdemographics.jsp (UNIX)

Tag Library Imports

The editdemographics.jsp template uses Webflow JSP tags and WebLogic Personalization Server's User Management JSP tags. Therefore, the template includes the following JSP tag libraries:

<%@ taglib uri="webflow.tld" prefix="webflow" %>
<%@ taglib uri="um.tld" prefix="um" %>
<%@ taglib uri="es.tld" prefix="es" %>

These files reside in the following directory for the Commerce services Web application:

PORTAL_HOME\applications\wlcsApp\wlcs\
WEB-INF (Windows)

PORTAL_HOME/applications/wlcsApp/wlcs/
WEB-INF (UNIX)

Java Package Imports

The editdemographics.jsp template uses Java classes in the following packages and therefore includes these import statements:

<%@ page import="javax.servlet.*" %>
<%@ page import="javax.servlet.http.*" %>
<%@ page import="com.beasys.commerce.webflow.HttpRequestConstants" %>
<%@ page import="com.beasys.commerce.axiom.contact.*" %>
<%@ page import="com.beasys.commerce.ebusiness.customer.*" %>
<%@ page import="java.util.*" %>

Location in Default Webflow

The page before the editdemographics.jsp template is the page on which a customer can view their current profile (viewprofile.jsp). If there are no errors in the form submission, the next page in the default Webflow is viewprofile.jsp. If corrections do need to be made, editdemographics.jsp is reloaded.

This template is part of the sampleapp_user namespace in the Webflow.

Note: For more information about the default Webflow, see the Guide to Managing Presentation and Business Logic: Using Webflow and Pipeline.

Included JSP Templates

The following JSP templates are included in the changepassword.jsp template:

admin.inc, which shows the name of the current template and contains links to its About information, the JSP Template Index, and the Administration Tools. The admin.inc template should be removed from the production pages before they are moved to your live server.
stylesheet.inc, which is a cascading stylesheet that defines global paragraph and text styles for the site. The import call is:
<%@ include file="/commerce/includes/stylesheet.inc" %>
header.inc, which creates the page header. It is standard across many of the JSP templates provided by Commerce services. The import call is:
<%@ include file="/commerce/includes/header.inc" %>
leftside.inc, which creates the left column and secondary placeholder for advertising. It is standard across many of the JSP templates provided by Commerce services. The import call is:
<%@ include file="/commerce/includes/leftside.inc" %>
newdemographictemplate.inc, which contains formatting for the demographic data. The template is described in About the Included newdemographictemplate.inc Template.
footer.inc, which creates the page footer. It is standard across many of the JSP templates provided by Commerce services. The import call is:
<%@ include file="/commerce/includes/footer.inc" %>

Events

The editdemographics.jsp template presents customers with two button events that trigger a particular response in the default Webflow, thereby allowing customers to continue. While this response can be to load another JSP, it is usually the case that an Input Processor or Pipeline is invoked first. Table 3-27 provides information about these events and the business logic they invoke.

Table 3-27 editdemographics.jsp Events

Event	Webflow Response(s)
button.back	No business logic required. Loads viewprofile.jsp.
button.save	UpdateDemographicInfoIP EditDemographicInfo Pipeline

Table 3-28 briefly describes each of the Pipelines from Table 3-27. For more information about individual Pipeline Components, see Pipeline Components.

Table 3-28 editdemographics.jsp Associated Pipelines

Pipeline	Description
EditDemographicInfo	Contains UpdateDemographicInfoPC and is transactional.

Dynamic Data Display

No dynamic data is presented on the editdemographics.jsp template.

Form Field Specification

The primary purpose of the editdemographics.jsp template is to allow customers to make changes to their demographic information using HTML form fields and radio buttons. It is also used to pass needed information to the Webflow.

The form fields used in the editdemographics.jsp template, most of which are imported from the newdemographictemplate.inc file, and a description for each of these form fields are listed in Table 3-29.

Note: If a form field is imported from another template, it is indicated in the description. Form fields without import information are in the editdemographics.jsp template.
