Package com.softslate.commerce.businessobjects.core Description

Provides basic interfaces and classes used by all the other packages in the business object layer.

The BusinessObject interface is extended by all other interfaces in the business object layer, in much the same way BaseBusinessObject is subclassed by all the implementations in the business object layer. These two entities provide a common set of methods business objects in the system use to communicate with the rest of the application.

The SettingsBean class provides an interface to the various settings stored in the system. And the UserBean class represents the properties of a given user in the system. It is used throughout the application to store a given user's state.
