Refresh bundle JSP for Websphere commerce 8

As we do in general practice to hit refreshBundles.jsp to clear out resource bundle cache without restarting the server. Recently, I figured out that it no more works with IBM 8 and throws error message like "no such method exists: cache"

Actually, the field "cache" is now replaced with "cacheList". Moreover, its type is now ConcurrentHashMap instead of WeakHashMap.

Change the Java logic of your JSP as below:


<%
Class klass =
     Class.forName("java.util.PropertyResourceBundle").getSuperclass();
Field field = klass.getDeclaredField("cacheList");

//Test block check for all the declared fields. Comment out the loop below.
for (Field classField : klass.getDeclaredFields()) {
System.out.println(classField.getName());
}

field.setAccessible(true);

ConcurrentHashMap cache = (ConcurrentHashMap)field.get(null);
cache.clear();

field.setAccessible(false);
%>

Websphere Commerce "too many boolean clauses" problem

Sometimes in large scale applications, Store encountered error message is shown on Product Listing page. Root cause: On PLP, sometimes we need to show some information which can be derived from associate SKUs, like color swatches etc. While getting these information from Index, SOLR needs to build the query with product SKU information. When a product is too many SKUs, the parsing fails and we do see error message like below: SolrCore      E org.apache.solr.common.SolrException log org.apache.solr.common.SolrException: org.apache.lucene.queryParser.ParseException: Cannot parse 'catentry_id:(87765 "87766" "87767" "87768" ... ...)':  too many boolean clauses Solution: SOLR has a default maxBoolean configuration which is 3072. Look for the < maxBooleanClauses >  attribute in solrconfig.xml and increase it to appropriate value to handle your catalog structure.

Websphere Commerce Creating a custom SOLR core

This page describes how we can create custom SOLR cores in commerce. Let's think of a e commerce site where we retailers can log in and can register there shops. We want to index Shops so that user can search for different shops. SOLR Core Naming Convention A custom SOLR core has to be named according to OOTB convention  MC_10001_<coreName>_en_US . The core name should be a single word without any underscores in it. An entry in solr.xml will look like as below < core   instanceDir = "MC_10001\en_US\Shops\"   name = "MC_10001_Shops_en_US"   /> Registering custom core with Search server Create a new folder along with the other SOLR cores,  "Shops " at /search/solr/home/MC_10001/en_US/ Shops  should have a " conf " folder for configuration XMLs . Define SQL in /conf/wc-data-config.xml and map the database fields with SOLR fields. Define SOLR fields in schema.xml We need to register our custom SO...

Auto Suggestion in Websphere Commerce Search

There are two types of auto suggestions..  1) Suggest keywords based on Search term. 2) Suggest actual Entity based on Search term. The Auto-Suggestion feature is now handled via Search Rest calls in FEP8. Technically it is Term Search for Spellcheck fields. So the whole thing can be summarized as below mentioned steps: /conf/solrconfig.xml Configure request handler for  /terms  URL Configure  wc_textSuggest  and  wc_spellCheck  configuration /conf/schema.xml Define SOLR fields that are too be shown as Auto Suggested keywords when searched for Terms Define Spell check fields which are to be spell corrected for showing suggestions SOLR Configuration Changes   As auto suggested keywords are nothing but different Terms that are being Indexed at the time of commit, we need to define a handler in solrconfig.xml. <!--          WebSphere Commerce terms request han...
