Method and system for maintaining a configuration state

摘要

A system for configuring configurable products includes a stateless configuration engine. A user and a server are coupled to a network for transmitting and receiving information. The user includes a web browser, memory and a display. The user receives web pages from the server and enters information into the fields on the page. The user sends the web page and the entered information to the server. The server decodes the information on the web page and sends a next page to the user including hidden form fields that include the decoded information. The information is stored in the source code of the page displayed by the web browser located at the user.
