Class BusinessType

java.lang.Object

com.broadleafcommerce.catalog.domain.product.type.BusinessType

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable

public class BusinessType
extends Object
implements Serializable

Represents a derivative of the Broadleaf Product Types that allows business users to group products by shared attributes. The type may drive some additional logic but mainly allows automatically populating new fields onto Products based on a template. These fields are effectively the same as Custom Fields (a.k.a. Augmentations) but are created and managed for specific types of products rather than just for specific forms or views.

Business Types can also derive from other Business Types to allow simply polymorphism. By default, all fields are stored in Product.getAttributes().
