How to extend service class (OOTB) from backoffice?

[former_member632070]

I am trying to override an OOTB class provided by hybris from my custom extension. My extension works fine. I am just trying to extend a hybris provided class that is part of the standard 'backoffice' extension. In my custom class I am able to extend and import the class I'm to extend successfully. Also in the IDE (ee) there are no errors. But when I go to build the project with 'ant all' or 'ant clean all' I get compile error that:

 The import com.hybris.backoffice.cockpitng cannot be resolved

I have also included the required extension in the extensioninfo.xml of my own custom extension.

 <requires-extension name="backoffice"/>

Am I missing something else?

Hi TS, what is the OOTB class you are trying to override?

Thanks,

Hi TS,

Bean declaration for com.hybris.backoffice.cockpitng.user.BackofficeCockpitUserService is available in backoffice-web-spring.xml

So you need to add your bean configuration in your-ext-web-spring.xml in addition to above steps.

Thanks,

Venki

I am trying to do something similar(version 6.5.0.2). I want to override one of the method of the bean 'platformObjectFacadeStrategy' declared in 'backoffice-web-spring.xml'.

I get the below issue during server startup.: Error initializing global application context! o.s.b.f.BeanDefinitionStoreException: Invalid bean definition with name 'myPlatformObjectFacadeStrategy' defined in class path resource [mybackoffice-spring.xml]: Could not resolve parent bean definition 'defaultPlatformObjectFacadeStrategy'; No bean named 'defaultPlatformObjectFacadeStrategy' is defined.

Yes. Thanks for the details. I also did this and I was able to include my own implementation for given bean. I was able to resolve the issue. I also had to include my class in project specific src folder (backoffice/src) that was setup in the project.

Hi,

make sure to place your code under backoffice/src. Otherwise it will not see the cockpitng classes.

Hi Wojtek,

Yes you are right but what if i want to use this outside backoffice/src. Is there any way to do so?

Hi,

I think that this documentation : https://help.hybris.com/6.4.0/hcd/94ac56a0aa9f486490bbe1251d994457.html will be helpful 🙂 You should use cng:extenders to this.
