CoreMedia Studio Improvements

Enhancements

Workflow API

  • The Workflow Server can be accessed from CoreMedia Studio by means of the ActionScript API through the newly added WorkflowRepository. See the [CoreMedia Studio Developer Manual] and the ASDoc of the Studio API for details.

CoreMedia Elastic Social Improvements

Elastic API

  • The configuration of the MongoDb now must use the Mongo Client URI, which was the preferred way anyway. See http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/connection-string/ for further information. The following previously available configuration options have been removed:

    • mongoDb.serverAddresses

    • mongoDb.writeConcern

    • mongoDb.userName

    • mongoDb.password

    The default value for the Mongo Client URI is mongodb://localhost:27017.

CoreMedia Blueprint Improvements

Single-Sign-On between CMS and Commerce

  • A Session will be managed for cms and commerce to simply handover from one system to another.

API changes

Changed API elements

  • Renamed class com.coremedia.blueprint.cae.web.taglib.ResponsiveImageFunctions to ImageFunctions and added new method uncroppedImageLink(CMPicture, ServletRequest, ServletResponse) .

  • Deprecated class com.coremedia.blueprint.cae.web.taglib.ImgLinkTag. Not used in freemarker.

Deployment and Virtualization

  • Added an attribute coremedia.probedog.timeout to the coremedia cookbook which allows to modify the timeout for all probedog runs. The default value is 300 as before.

    Replaced the custom ElasticSearch cookbook by the ElasticSearch community cookbook.

    Added an attribute coremedia.role.elasticsearch to the coremedia cookbook which is used to search for node running ElasticSearch in conjunction with the elasticsearch.cluster.name attribute. In previous releases, the nodes have been computed by searching for run lists containing the elasticsearch recipe.

    Added an recipe elasticsearch to the coremedia cookbook which wraps the default recipe of the elasticsearch cookbook and installs all necessary prerequisites.

    Added an attribute coremedia.serverimport.extra_options to pass additional options to serverimport.
