public interface CatalogItem<T extends Item>

Implementations of this class represents an catalog item (@see de.hybris.platform.catalog.jalo.Keyword).

During synchronization these items are treated specially in the following cases:

• references

String	getCatalogItemID() Returns the unique id of this item.
CatalogVersion	getCatalogVersion(SessionContext ctx) Returns the enclosing catalog version of this item.
String	getCatalogVersionAttributeQualifier() Must provide the attribute qualifier of the attribute holding the catalog version which this item belongs to.

Method Detail

getIDAttributeQualifier

String getIDAttributeQualifier()

Must provide the attribute qualifier of the attribute holding the unique id of this item.

getCatalogVersionAttributeQualifier

String getCatalogVersionAttributeQualifier()

Must provide the attribute qualifier of the attribute holding the catalog version which this item belongs to.

getCatalogItemID

String getCatalogItemID()

Returns the unique id of this item. This id is unique within its enclosing catalog version only - other catalog versions may own items with the same id ( usually copies of this one ).

getCatalogVersion

CatalogVersion getCatalogVersion(SessionContext ctx)

Returns the enclosing catalog version of this item.

getCounterpartItem

T getCounterpartItem(CatalogVersion targetVersion)

Optionally finds potential copies of this item within a synchronization target version. This applies to catalog items which have not been synchronized before but nevertheless already exist in both version and must be matched to avoid duplicates.

Hint: Usually this can be easily implemented by searching for a item with he same id within the target version.
