Hybris CDC customize GigyaLoginAddon, GigyaFacades and GigyaServices

Question

I need to customize this OOTB extensions, in order to achieve this and create my own custom logic which are the steps that I must follow? Do I have to create through ant extgen a new extension based on Gigya template (if this exists) and there override the beans or can I just override the bean in my trainingfacades extension?

Answer 1

When you want to change a facade or service you can just extend the default implementation and override the public method you want to change. An example is the product service here:

public class TrainingGigyaServiceImpl extends DefaultGigyaService implements GigyaService
{
    // Override your methods here
}

Then define a unique bean for it and override the only the alias with your newly created bean id:

<alias name="trainingGigyaService" alias="gigyaService"/>

Make also sure you load the gigya* extensions before your training extension by adding it to the extensioninfo.xml

This process of overriding is also more elaborated on the SAP help page https://help.sap.com/viewer/aa417173fe4a4ba5a473c93eb730a417/v2105/en-US/034a7f51580e45b19d67c51cc3e6a6dc.html
