Using Assets Locally
To use local assets for development:
In your
settings.xml
, configure theep.local.asset.path
property to point to the assets source folder as described in Configure Mavensettings.xml
.Re-populate your local database
This updates the
COMMERCE/STORE/ASSETS/assetLocation
setting value in the database.
Deploying Assets for Production
When you build a deployment package using the extensions/packager
module, an ext-assets.zip
package is included in the the deployment package.
Assets are typically deployed to a local file system directory on each VM running Elastic Path servers. The asset location is specified by the either COMMERCE/STORE/ASSETS/assetLocation
setting value in the database or by the -Dep.asset.location
Java system property on the command line.
