How to use modelservice in backoffice editorArea without cockpit data integration layer

[Former Member]

As far as I understand everything in the backoffice editorArea uses the Cockpit Data Integration Layer (https://help.hybris.com/1808/hcd/8b7e07aa866910149f57b60f4fece66c.html).

I wrote a custom EditorAreaSectionRenderer that renders a list of ProductFeatures within one ClassifciationClass.

I added a separate Save Button, that should save only those ProductFeatures by calling de.hybris.platform.classification.ClassificationService#setFeatures. However, the modelservice.save() does not work (I assume due to the Cockpit Data Integration Layer).

I need to save only those ProductFeatures of only one specific ClassificationClass because saving the whole Product has performance issues (we have a lot of ProductFeautes on one Product).

The Link above says "You do not have to use Cockpit Data Integration", but how is it possible to circumvent that layer?

can you please elaborate why modelservice.save() doesn't work? do you get error messages or what's the issue?
