Evaluating ECF 4.1... a few questions

Reply Quote

Hi,

I am currently evaluating Mediachase ECF 4.1 for a retail site implementation to replace Commerce Server 2002, and I have a few questions. Thanks in advance for your help.

Jon

API
1) Are "pluggable" API's provided? I want to be able to implement interfaces for several areas of the site... for example Sales Tax calculations and Promotions/Discounts? I don't see a promotion/discount interface defined in the manual.

2) Do you use the .NET 2.0 Membership/Role/Profile provider model? Is the data stored flat, or in ugly serialized fields like the default MS providers?

3) What do you use for data-access? Hand-coded DAL, OR/M ActiveRecord?

4) What is the provision for adding domain-specific business-logic? Where is it stored?

5) Do you use SQL stored-procedures?

Documentation
1) Is a complete Data Model available?

2) Is a complete developer API reference available, with examples for how to implement common scenarios?

3rd-party software
1) Do you use any other 3rd-party open source software, such as log4net, nHibernate, Lucene, Subsonic, URLRewritingNet?

Integration
1) We would need to do bidirectional integration with our back-end Peoplesoft system. What interfaces, services, events are provided that would enable this?

Recurring orders
1) Are customers able to specify the delivery frequency of recurring orders (eg. 4/6/8/12 weeks).

2) Are customers able to change the details of a recurring order? eg. add/edit/delete line-items, change the payment & delivery method, etc.

3) Is it possible for a site administrator to specify a subset of products available for recurring delivery? Is it possible for a developer to code this specification via an interface?

4) Is it possible to have a recurring order that also contains "one-time" line-items?
