JR48043: CMVC 231248 - Customers using ranged facets will not have the facet name displayed on the store front

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• In an OOB environment, the CatalogNavigationView BOD does not
  return the name for ranged facets, which will cause the store
  front to not display a name for this facet. For example:
  
  Normal Facet:
  
   <_cat:FacetView>
          <_cat:Name>Material</_cat:Name>
          <_cat:Value>ads_f10501_ntk_cs</_cat:Value>
          <_cat:Entry>
            <_cat:Label>Cotton blend</_cat:Label>
  
  <_cat:Value>ads_f10501_ntk_cs%3A%22Cotton+blend%22</_cat:Value>
            <_cat:Count>17</_cat:Count>
            <_cat:ExtendedData
  name="uniqueId">-70000000000000013556711111611611111032981081011
  10100</_cat:ExtendedData>
            <_cat:ExtendedData
  name="SEQUENCE">23.0</_cat:ExtendedData>
          </_cat:Entry>
  
  Ranged Facet:
  
    <_cat:FacetView>
          <_cat:Value>price_USD</_cat:Value>
  <------------------------------------ No 'Name' Field
          <_cat:Entry>
            <_cat:Label>({* 100} 100)</_cat:Label>
            <_cat:Value>price_USD%3A%28{*+100}+100%29</_cat:Value>
            <_cat:Count>131</_cat:Count>
            <_cat:ExtendedData
  name="uniqueId">4012342324948481253249484841</_cat:ExtendedData>
          </_cat:Entry>
  
  The price facet has the name hardcoded in the LeftNavigation
  JSPs, but this is not the case with ranged facets implemented by
  customers.
