Create command context in WebSphere Commerce

In classes where command context is not available or cannot be passed from the invoking command, the following code snippet can be used to create the command context.

com.ibm.commerce.foundation.server.services.businesscontext.ContextService bcs = com.ibm.commerce.foundation.server.services.businesscontext.ContextServiceFactory.getContextService();
com.ibm.commerce.command.CommandContext ctx = com.ibm.commerce.context.baseimpl.ContextHelper.createCommandContext(((com.ibm.commerce.component.contextserviceimpl.BusinessContextInternalService)bcs).getActivityToken());

And any command can be invoked

com.ibm.commerce.command.ControllerCommandcmd = (ControllerCommand)CommandFactory.createCommand(<<command name here>>,<<StoreId here>>);cmd.setCommandContext(ctx);
cmd.setRequestProperties(<<reqprops here >>);
cmd.execute();
