Class SettingsBean

java.lang.Object
  com.softslate.commerce.businessobjects.core.BaseBusinessObject

All Implemented Interfaces:

BusinessObject, BusinessProcessor, Settings, java.io.Serializable

public class SettingsBean
extends BaseBusinessProcessor
implements Settings, java.io.Serializable

Represents various settings used by the application. Settings for the application are stored in the sscSetting database table. The various settings represent everything from the default colors and fonts used by the display templates, to the names of the Java classes that implement various business object interfaces for the application.

An instance of SettingsBean is created in the Struts layer. It is initialized there through initialize(), which populates the map property with the results of a query on the sscSetting table. For each setting, an entry in the map is created with the setting code used as the key and its value as the key's value.

The SettingsBean instance created in the Struts layer is passed throughout the application to look up needed settings. The application's BusinessObjectFactory initializes each business object with the SettingsBean immediately after it creates it.
