If you use an array of objects, then each OrderItem can calculate it's own total (quantity * unitPrice = price), calculate it's own weight and return references to other objects (orderItem.getItem() would return the actual item in the store/catalog). Then, when you need to calculate your order total, you can loop through the OrderItems and sum up the total.
