Package de.hybris.platform.b2b.util

Interface TimeRange

  • All Known Implementing Classes:
    DayRange, MonthRange, QuarterRange, WeekRange, YearRange
    public interface TimeRange

    The Interface provides Strategy methods (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strategy_pattern) to calculate border dates for time ranges. Any new Strategy have to be implemented using this interface. By default there are five Strategies provided by B2B extension:

    Adding new Strategy is a four steps process.

    • creating class implementing this interface
    • adding Spring configuration entry in resources/b2bcore-spring.xml like this: 
         <bean id="de.hybris.platform.b2b.scope.YourRange" name="YOUR_RANGE" class="de.hybris.platform.b2b.scope.YourRange" scope="singleton" />
    • adding new value to Hybris Enumeration type called B2BPeriodRange in resources/b2bcore-items.xml like this: 
         <value code="YOUR_RANGE" />
    • adding localized name of new Enumeration value in appropriate files stored in resources/localization/ directory to "Time ranges" section: 
        type.b2bperiodrange.your_range.name=Your range

    The last step is very important, so please be careful and add it immediately after creating new Enumeration value. Localized names have to be provided for all supported languages in your application.
