| This topic got a lot of newsgroup time when Commerce Server 2000 first came
out. I think that what you describe as "the only other option" - to add to
basket and run an order processing pipeline (as opposed to a csf pipeline)
is the recommended way to go. The product pipeline, rather than the basket
pipeline is generally designed for this purpose. It's a slightly pared down
version of the basket pipeline, which should be a little more efficient.
I've implemented this type of approach on one site that I've developed and,
since you're going to execute the pipeline n times for n products on the
category page, you'll want to achieve as many efficiencies as you can. If,
for example, your setup for the pipeline execution includes setting values
in the targeting context profile, consider doing that once and reusing that
targeting context profile as you loop through the products executing the
product pipeline. Any logic you can pull out of the loop and execute once
will help with performance. As I said, I've implemented this approach and
performance has not been an issue in production.
