How to use cmsoccaddon and modify its controller to meet our requirement.

[kundan1986]

Dear Expert,

I want to use functionality of an existing cmsoccaddon but also want to modify it's controller a little bit.

i have installed this addon using below command:

ant addoninstall -Daddonnames=cmsoccaddon -DaddonStorefront.ycommercewebservices=<your_custom_commerce_webservices>

But i am not able to make any modification in our your _custom_commerce_webservices extension, as every time we do the build our changes is overridden by the OOTB controller.

Thanks,

Kundan

Hi there,

Everytime you run ant clean all addons are uninstalled from your storefront / custom extensions and installed again, there two ways to implement what you are trying to do :

• If the changes are too small you can try the @RequestMappingOverride annotation Example
• Override the whole cmsoccaddon and use your own instead .. (It does the job but not my favorite)

Hi Hamza,

Hi there,

1. Go to extensioninfo.xml in the cmsoccaddon and add the following line <meta key="extgen-template-extension" value="true"/>
2. then add a file with the name extgen.properties with the following content

YEXTNAME_TOKEN=cmsoccaddon
YPACKAGE_TOKEN=cmsoccaddonpackage
YMANAGER_TOKEN=CmsoccaddonManager
YCLASSPREFIX_TOKEN=Cmsoccaddon
YGENERATED_TOKEN=Generated

Finally execute ant extgen you should you find the cmsoccaddon listed along side the other template extensions 🙂
