INTERCEPT AN ATG PIPELINE.

ATG pipeline allows developers to write modular code and inject the same in an execution path based on the
result from another processor in pipeline chain. Nucleus component /atg/commerce/PipelineManager implement
the commerce pipeline loading, execution and reloading logic. Commerce pipeline is defined in an xml file located
in /B2CCommerce/config/atg/commerce/commercepipeline.xml.

Steps to inject a processor link to commerce pipeline

1.Write your processor class. Custom Processor class should be an implementation of PipelineProcessor.

package com.ourownjava.atg.pipeline;
/**
* @author ourownjava.com
*/
import atg.nucleus.logging.ApplicationLoggingImpl;
import atg.service.pipeline.PipelineProcessor;
public class ProcCheckInventory extends ApplicationLoggingImpl implements
PipelineProcessor {
public int[] getRetCodes() {
return new int{1,2};
}
public int runProcess(final Object pParam, final PipelineResult pResult)
throws Exception {
// check inventory and return the status accordingly
return 1;
}
}

2.Identify the correct location to inject the new processor class in pipeline chain.
In this example we will inject new processor class as the second processor in the updateOrder chain.

3.Register the new processor class as a nucleus component.

#ProcCheckInventory.properties
#/info/atgblog/inventory/processor/ProcCheckInventory
$class=/info/atgblog/inventory/processor/ProcCheckInventory
$scope=glboal

4.Update the B2CCommerce/config/atg/commerce/commercepipeline.xml to add new processor class.

1 <pipelinechain name="updateOrder" transaction="TX_REQUIRED" headlink="updateOrderObject">
2
<pipelinelink name="updateOrderObject" transaction="TX_MANDATORY">
3
<processor jndi="/atg/commerce/order/processor/SaveOrderObject"/>
4
<transition returnvalue="1" link="checkInventoryObject"/>
5
</pipelinelink>
6
<pipelinelink name="checkInventoryObject" transaction="TX_MANDATORY">
7
<processor jndi="/info/atgblog/inventory/processor/ProcCheckInventory"/>
8
<transition returnvalue="1" link="updateCommerceItemObjects"/>
9
</pipelinelink>
10
<pipelinelink name="updateCommerceItemObjects" transaction="TX_MANDATORY">
11
<processor jndi="/atg/commerce/order/processor/SaveCommerceItemObjects"/>
12
<transition returnvalue="1" link="updateShippingGroupObjects"/>
13
</pipelinelink>
14 ...........
15 </pipelinechain>

5.Restart your ATG application server. You are done. You have added pipeline link in the commerce pipeline.
Alternatively commerce pipeline can be edited using acc pipeline editor.
