Creating the Shopping Cart—AddToOrder.java

We can take each of these items individually, because that's how they'll be experienced by the user. In this chapter, we'll add an item to the user's shopping cart.

(We'll take care of the rest of the order process in Chapter 6, “Adjusting Inventory: Using Namespaces and More About DOM.”) Let's add an “Add To Order” link to the product page, as in Listing 5.1.
