Studio Developer Manual / Version 2110
Table Of ContentsCoreMedia Studio's Server application needs to be connected with the Content Management Server to access the repository and with the preview CAE to show the preview of the opened form. If you use CoreMedia Blueprint, everything is already configured properly for your local workspace. If you use a distributed environment you have to adapt the following properties:
Connecting with the Content Server
When you start the Studio server Spring Boot application
(apps/studio-server/spring-boot/studio-server-app
)
with mvn spring-boot:run during development, you can configure the connection by supplying the
arguments -Drepository.url=CONTENTSERVER_IOR
at the command line. Alternatively, you can configure
the connection in the application[-local].properties
file in the
src/main/resources
directory. Use the repository.url
property for the
host and port of your Content Server, respectively.
Refer to the [Developer Manual] to learn about building deployable artifacts.
Connecting with the Editorial Comments Database
In the same way you can configure the repository.url
you can configure the Editorial Comments Database.
When starting with mvn spring-boot:run you can append the argument
-Deditorial.comments.db.host=DB_HOST
or -Deditorial.comments.datasource.url=DATASOURCE_URL
if the complete datasource URL has to be rewritten.
The same is possible in the application[-local].properties
.
Connecting with the Preview CAE
When you start the Studio server application locally during development,
you can configure the connection to the preview
CAE in the application[-local].properties
file in the
src/main/resources
directory of studio-server-app
. Simply change the value
of the property studio.previewUrlPrefix
to the URL prefix of your
CAE.
The property studio.previewControllerPattern
contains the configurable preview
controller pattern. If it is empty or not defined, then Studio
will use the default preview controller pattern preview?id={0}
.
If you want to use simple numeric IDs instead, then you can configure in the
studio.properties
file as follows:
studio.previewControllerPattern=preview?id={1}
. The placeholder 0
and 1
are representing the CoreMedia ID and the numeric ID, respectively.
Note that Elastic Social users and user comments do not have
numeric IDs. Hence, you should configure preview?id={0}
. However, when using
preview?id={1}
, the placeholder 1
is replaced with the non-numeric
ID as well and the preview application has to handle this special case or will fail to
deliver.
