How to remove a populator added to modifyPopulatorList in OOTB code

[former_member630762]

Hi experts,

When trying to remove a populator which has been added by modifyPopulatorList, its not working. In an ootb spring .xml, we have the below configuration. Now I would like to remove the searchResultSubscriptionProductPopulator from the converter list. How can I achieve this. We do not want this populator to be called. Please help here.

 <bean parent="modifyPopulatorList">
         <property name="list" ref="commerceSearchResultProductConverter"/>
         <property name="add" ref="searchResultSubscriptionProductPopulator"/>
     </bean>

Hi - the following configuration should work:

 <!-- Remove the searchResultSubscriptionProductPopulator from the commerceSearchResultProductConverter -->    
 <bean parent="modifyPopulatorList">
     <property name="list" ref="commerceSearchResultProductConverter"/>
     <property name="remove" ref="searchResultSubscriptionProductPopulator"/>
 </bean>

Please check hybris/bin/platform/ext/platformservices/resources/platformservices/test/modify-populators-test-spring.xml for examples. You can also try executing ModifyPopulatorListBeanPostProcessorTest.java to test it.

Thanks for the reply.. But I am not supposed to change the OOTB spring.xml right?.. thinking of having this remove code snip in my custom facades-spring.xml.. SHould it suffice ?

You don't have to change the OOTB spring.xml. You have to declare it in your custom spring.xml.

Thank you.. This worked.

I have one doubt here. So is there any fucntionality in OOTB that is making use of the subscriptionPopulator I just removed from the converter list.. We are not using it in our custom functionality anywhere.

Hi Viveksaipavan,

Yes, just use "remove" snippet in your custom spring.xml file, like below.

 <property name="remove" ref="searchResultSubscriptionProductPopulator"/>

Thanks..!!
