    Online Store Application - The shoppingCart.jsp Page


    (Page 11 of 11 )

    The shoppingCart.jsp page displays the contents of the ShoppingCartBean for a particular user. It is shown in Listing 14-24.

    Listing 14-24  The shoppingCart.jsp Page

    </h:form>
    </f:use_faces>

    </body>
    </html>


    The main part of the shoppingCart.jsp page (printed in bold) is a UIPanel component with a header facet and a footer facet. The dynamic part uses a panel_data tag, which gets its data from the shoppingItems property of the ShoppingCartBean. It has three columns that display the product name, quantity, and price, respectively:

    <h:panel_data var="item" valueRef="ShoppingCartBean.shoppingItems">
      <h:output_text valueRef="item.productName"/> 
      <h:output_number valueRef="item.quantity"/> 
      <h:output_number valueRef="item.price"/>
    </h:panel_data>

    The total purchase value is displayed at the footer. The value comes from the total property of the ShoppingCartBean:

    <f:facet name="footer">
      <h:panel_group>
        <h:output_text value="&nbsp;"/>
        <h:output_text value="Total"/>
        <h:output_number valueRef="ShoppingCartBean.total"/>
    </h:panel_group>
      </f:facet>

    Below the UIPanel component is a UICommand component that the user can click to check out:

    <h:command_button action="checkOut"
      commandName="checkOut" label="Check Out"> 
      <f:action_listener type="buydirect.AppActionListener"/>
    <h:command_button>

    The checkOut.jsp Page

    The checkOut.jsp page displays five input fields for delivery details and payment details. The checkOut.jsp page is shown in Listing 14-25.

    </h:form>
    </f:use_faces>

    </body>
    </html>


    Notice that for each UIInput component, a required_validator tag is used to make the component a mandatory field. At the end of the page is a UICommand button that the user can click to begin processing the order.

    <h:command_button action="order" commandName="order" label="Pay">
      <f:action_listener type="buydirect.AppActionListener"/> </h:command_button>

    The order.jsp Page

    The order.jsp page displays a thank you note after the purchase order is processed. The order.jsp page is shown in Listing 14-26.

    Summary

    This chapter described how to build the BuyDirect online store application. The application uses various components in JSF, such as the UI components and validators, and has a number of managed beans.

    The application is not a complete solution for an online store. However, it provides basic functionality that encompasses many features found in a commercial online store application. You could easily expand it to include capabilities for modifying the shopping cart and managing the store, for example.
