Removal: Special Commerce Hub API for Preview URLs

Most of the changes took place within the commerce adapter workspaces. On the CMS side the PreviewUrlService has been deleted and there are changes in the CommerceStudioLinks.

Removal: Obsolete Base Classes from LiveContext Test Modules

With the introduction of the Commerce Hub, the connections to commerce systems have been moved away from the central CMS services to the commerce adapters.

Removal: Hoverfly Extension Classes from LiveContext Test Modules

With the introduction of the Commerce Hub, the connections to commerce systems have been moved away from the central CMS services to the commerce adapters. The tests that require commerce connections (whose requests and responses can be recorded and replayed with Hoverfly) have been moved, too, making the Hoverfly extension classes in LiveContext test modules obsolete, hence they have now been removed.

Removal: Deprecations from LiveContext API

The old LiveContext API is used to access the Commerce Hub / generic commerce client from Studio and other clients. Some deprecations have now been deleted that are not needed anymore or that are not supported by the Commerce Hub. They are in detail: the AvailabilityService (not supported by the CommerceHub, should be requested directly from the commerce system), UserServer and UserSessionService (not needed anymore, the whole part of session sync between the CMS and the commerce system is gone, only the login/logout can be done via the commerce adapter), the AssetUrlProvider (is also not needed anymore).

Removed methods com.coremedia.livecontext.ecommerce.common.CommerceConnection#getServiceForVendor and com.coremedia.livecontext.ecommerce.common.CommerceConnection#getQualifiedServiceForVendor . Use class com.coremedia.blueprint.base.livecontext.ecommerce.common.CommerceServicesForVendor instead.

Simplified Registration of Custom Commerce Bean Types

The class com.coremedia.livecontext.ecommerce.common.CommerceBeanTypeRegistry was removed and com.coremedia.livecontext.ecommerce.common.CommerceBeanType was converted from an interface to an implementation class. Instead of registering enum classes defining custom commerce bean types you may now define custom commerce bean types on demand by calling com.coremedia.livecontext.ecommerce.common.CommerceBeanType#of(String) . This solves the issue of class loading order which occasionally lead to missing custom commerce bean types at runtime.

Follow Section, “Simplified Registration of Custom Commerce Bean Types” for upgrade information.

Removal: CommerceConnection#getClone Method

Removed com.coremedia.livecontext.ecommerce.common.CommerceConnection#getClone . Commerce Connection instances must not be modified after creation.
