Extensibility of Commerce Hub Generic Client

The generic client can be extended by custom commerce beans, custom commerce services or a custom commerce connection implementation itself. For custom commerce beans, both a custom commerce bean type must be registered using com.coremedia.livecontext.ecommerce.common.CommerceBeanTypeRegistry and the custom commerce bean implementation class must be registered using com.coremedia.blueprint.base.livecontext.client.beans.ClientCommerceBeanFactoryMethodRegistry .

For custom commerce services and custom commerce connection implementations, the com.coremedia.livecontext.ecommerce.common.ForVendor is employed.

Tests demonstrating the extensibility reside in the blueprint module lc.ecommerce-api-tests .

Added Livecontext Link Service API

The package com.coremedia.livecontext.ecommerce.link  was added to the release artifact com.coremedia.livecontext:lc-ecommerce-api . It provides service interfaces LinkService  and PreviewUrlService which are both obtained from the current CommerceConnection instance. These services are used by the Blueprint classes com.coremedia.livecontext.fragment.links.CommerceLinkScheme and com.coremedia.livecontext.fragment.links.transformers.resolvers.CommerceLinkResolver . They take precedence over the link building mechanism provided by the vendor-specific Livecontext CAE implementations.
