I am starting a konakart e-commerce project and have little knowledge about it.
I plan on developing a separate web application that will communicate with konakart using the "java api" approach.
The biggest problem I have now it that I can't figure out how to go about extending konakart type system.
Lets assume I plan on selling vacations on my e-commerce site,
I am interested in finding out best approaches for the following questions:
1) I want to create a new entities (for example a Hotel entity)
2) I want to create relationships between konakarts existing types and my new types (for instance a relationship between hotel and product(the vacation))
3) I want to know how to extend konakarts existing types with new fields (for instance extend the promotion type with a new filed "stars" - eg: there will be 10% of for vacations in 5 star hotels)
I could create my custom objects store them in a separate DB and do all the merging & saving logic myself but I am wondering if there is some support in konakart for this kind of requirements (for instance similat to hybris type system).
