New Config Option: caas.stax.maxAliasesForCollections

The number of allowed aliases can now be configured using the new config option, e.g. caas.stax.maxAliasesForCollections=100

Additional Headless Augmentation Calls without Commerce Connection

Augmentation data for products and categories can now be retrieved from the Headless Server without an underlying commerce connection. The former augmentation queries still exist, but the new ones are preferable since there is less risk of performance issues due to a slow commerce connection. In order to get inherited augmentation data along the commerce hierarchy, the new Augmentation API requires the caller to pass in the hierarchy/breadcrumb.

The new Augmentation API can be found below the ContentRoot:

  • ContentRoot.categoryAugmentationBySite

  • ContentRoot.categoryAugmentationBySegment

  • ContentRoot.productAugmentationBySite

  • ContentRoot.productAugmentationBySegment

If you want to use the new API, make sure your Livecontext Settings contain the following information: commerce.storeConfig.id commerce.catalogConfig.id commerce.vendor

In case of multi catalog projects a fallback commerce connection may still be necessary since catalog alias mapping needs to be resolved by the connected commerce system.

(CMS-19468)

Loading of JSLT and REST Mappings From Plugins

Headless Server supports loading resource files containing JSLT and REST mapping definitions from the content of plugins.

By loading these kind of resources from plugins rather than from within the Headless Server Docker image, the build, deployment and release management of the core application is decoupled from the development of these resource files.

Loading from plugins is optional. The deployment within the Headless Server App remains unchanged.
