Release highlights

Javax to Jakarta migration

For many years, Java EE was developed under the stewardship of Oracle, and core packages used the javax.* namespace (e.g., javax.servlet, javax.persistence). In 2017, Oracle donated Java EE to the Eclipse Foundation, and the platform was rebranded as Jakarta EE.

However, Oracle retained the rights to the javax namespace as part of the Java trademark. This created a major roadblock: although Jakarta EE could evolve independently, it could not modify any API under javax.*.

To move forward with innovation, the Eclipse Jakarta EE Working Group made the decision to rename all relevant packages to the jakarta.* namespace. This change officially occurred starting with Jakarta EE 9, released in December 2020.

Key changes included:

javax.servlet --> jakarta.servlet
javax.persistence --> jakarta.persistence
javax.ws.rs --> jakarta.ws.rs
And many more.

As a result, many of the Open Source dependencies used by Self-Managed Commerce have released new artifacts that use the jakarta.* namespace, often with updated Maven coordinates. In order to consume these updates, Self-Managed Commerce needed to migrate all dependencies using the javax.* packages to new dependencies that use the jakarta.* packages at once, so that they can use the API interfaces defined by the new Jakarta EE version.

This allowed Self-Managed Commerce 8.7 to upgrade key dependencies such as Spring 5.x to Spring 6.x, OpenJPA 3.2.x to 4.x, and Tomcat 9.x to 10.x. Without making these changes, Self-Managed Commerce would be unable to consume the new versions of these dependencies which include important security fixes and new features.

For information about the impact of these changes on your custom code, see Upgrade Notes: Jakarta migration.

Promotions Calculator extension point

A new extension point has been added that can be used to externalize promotion calculations. This means that developers can delegate the calculation of promotions to a third-party service, or to a separate Self-Managed Commerce environment that exposes APIs for promotion calculations.

By default, the ElasticPathPromotionsCalculator extension will implement this extension point, which reads promotion rules from the database and uses Drools to evaluate conditions.

For more information, see Promotions Calculator extension point.

Notification Events extension point

A new extension point has been added that allows developers to control how notifications are sent to customers and business users. This extension point is the basis for all notification events, including email, text message, and push notifications.

When Self-Managed Commerce needs to notify a customer or business user, all registered notification event extensions are notified by invoking the send method. The context passed to this method includes details such as the notification type, recipients, and placeholder values. It is the responibility of the extension to both render and deliver the message to the recipients.

By default, the VelocitySMTPEmailSender extension will implement this extension point, which renders emails using Apache Velocity and uses SMTP to send out the emails. However, this extension can be replaced with integrations to third-party services such as SendGrid or Postmark, so that business users can modify email templates themselves without needing to involve the development team. Additionally, other extensions could be created to send notifications to customers via text message (using Twilio) or other push notification services.

For more information, see Notification Events extension point and Email Delivery.

Product Events extension point

A new extension point has been added that is notified when a product is created or updated. This is useful for notifying back-end systems when catalog changes occur in Self-Managed Commerce. Extensions will be notified no matter how the product was changed, including Import/Export imports, Data Sync, or changes made in Commerce Manager.

For more information, see Product Events extension point.

Full support for Trusted Header Authentication

Previously, Cortex had partial support for Trusted Header Authentication, which allows the use of headers to authenticate a shopper.

However, this functionality had two major limitations:

There was no support for creating a new customer record for an unrecognized X-Ep-User-Id header value.
There was no support for transitioning a PUBLIC shopper to a REGISTERED shopper.

These limitations were previously addressed by wiring in the Cortex Trusted Header Mode Accelerator, however, this functionality is now built into the platform.

For more information, see Trusted Header Authentication.

New in this release

In addition to the Release Highlights, this release contains the following updates:

Added support for `IS NULL` and `IS NOT NULL` in the EP Search Query Language

Added support for the IS NULL and IS NOT NULL operators when specifying a filter for an Import/Export export. This allows API clients to filter fields based on whether a value is set or not.

For more details, see EP Search Query Language.

JMX endpoints for logging

A new com.elasticpath.logging MBean server has been added to all Self-Managed Commerce services. This allows you to modify the log levels of running services in real time.

For more details, see Log level updates.

Added subquery support to `JpqlQueryBuilder`

The JpqlQueryBuilder class now supports generation of queries with subqueries. This is useful for using the results from one query as a filter for another query.

This feature is supported through the new void appendWhereInSubquery(final String fieldName, final JpqlQueryBuilder subQueryBuilder) method. This method adds a where clause to the query that ensures that the specified fieldName value is contained in the results of the subQueryBuilder result.

As an example, we can create a JPQL query that returns all customer records that are associated to a stores in the OPEN state:

// Create subquery that returns store codes for all stores in the OPEN state
JpqlQueryBuilder subQuery = new JpqlQueryBuilder(persistenceEngine, "StoreImpl", "store", "store.code");
subQuery.getDefaultWhereGroup().appendWhereEquals("store.storeState", StoreState.OPEN);

// Create query that returns all customer records that are associated to stores in the OPEN state
JpqlQueryBuilder query = new JpqlQueryBuilder(persistenceEngine, "CustomerImpl", "cust");
query.getDefaultWhereGroup().appendWhereInSubquery("cust.storeCode", subQuery);
query.getDefaultWhereGroup().appendWhereEquals("cust.sharedId", "test");

// Execute query
persistenceEngine.retrieve(query.buildQuery(), query.buildParameterList().toArray());

Local developers now use the Cargo plugin to start webapps

Starting webapps on a local developer machine now uses the Cargo plugin instead of the Tomcat plugin. Therefore, webapps are now started by running mvn clean package cargo:run from the appropriate webapp folder.

For more details, see Running Applications and Changes to webapp startup instructions for local development.

Added new Maven build parameter for quick builds

Developers can now use the -DskipSlowTests parameter with Maven to run a quick build with basic validation. This parameter is similar to -DskipAllTests, but also runs all static analysis checks and unit tests. Integration tests and Cucumber (and Selenium) tests are skipped. On a Mac M1, running mvn clean install -DskipSlowTests should take about 19 minutes to run.

For more details, see Building source code.

Enhancements to the Operations Specification

Added a new jvmRuntimeArguments field to the activemq section of the ops-spec.json file. This allows us to specify system properties to pass to the JVM when starting the ActiveMQ broker.

For more details, see Operations Specification.

Added build-time checks for multiple JARs providing the same classes

When a Java runtime classpath contains multiple JARs that provide the same fully qualified class name, the classloader will randomly choose one of the class implementations. This can lead to confusing intermittent issues such as MethodNotFound at runtime.

To prevent this, a new plugin has been addedto the build process called duplicate-finder-maven-plugin, which detects this situation and will fail the build if it finds multiple JARs providing the same class.

Along with this change, several conflicting dependencies have been resolved:

Multiple conflicting jars: jakarta.xml.bind:jakarta.xml.bind-api:2.3.3, javax.xml.bind:jaxb-api:2.3.1
- javax.xml.bind:jaxb-api was removed.
- jakarta.xml.bind:jakarta.xml.bind-api is now the primary JAR providing Java Architecture for XML Binding functionality.
Multiple conflicting jars: javax.servlet:javax.servlet-api:3.1.0, org.eclipse.jetty.toolchain:jetty-servlet-api:4.0.6
- org.eclipse.jetty.toolchain:jetty-servlet-api was removed.
- javax.servlet:javax.servlet-api is now the primary JAR providing servlet functionality.
Multiple conflicting jars: org.slf4j:jcl-over-slf4j:1.7.32, org.springframework:spring-jcl:5.3.39, commons-logging:commons-logging:1.1.1
- commons-logging:commons-logging was removed and banned.
- org.slf4j:jcl-over-slf4j is now the primary JAR providing commons logging functionality.
Multiple conflicting jars: aopalliance:aopalliance:1.0, org.glassfish.hk2.external:aopalliance-repackaged:3.1.1, org.springframework:spring-aop:5.3.39
- aopalliance:aopalliance was removed and banned.
- org.glassfish.hk2.external:aopalliance-repackaged is now the primary JAR providing Aspect-Oriented Programming functionality.
Multiple conflicting jars: jakarta.validation:jakarta.validation-api:2.0.2, javax.validation:validation-api:2.0.1.Final
- Core is only using javax.validation:validation-api (jakarta.validation-api was removed).
- Search Server is using both:
  - jakarta.validation-api version 3.0.2 which provides the jakarta.validation packages for SOLR.
  - javax.validation-api version 2.0.1 which provides the javax.validation packages.
Multiple conflicting jars: javax.el:javax.el-api:3.0.0, org.glassfish:jakarta.el:3.0.4
- jakarta.el:jakarta.el-api and javax.el:javax.el-api were removed and banned.
- org.glassfish:jakarta.el is now the only JAR providing expression language functionality.
Multiple conflicting jars: io.swagger.core.v3:swagger-annotations-jakarta:2.2.22, io.swagger.core.v3:swagger-annotations:2.1.13
- io.swagger.core.v3:swagger-annotations was removed and banned.

- com.sun.activation:javax.activation, javax.activation:activation, javax.activation:javax.activation-api, and jakarta.activation:jakarta.activation-api were removed and banned.
- com.sun.activation:jakarta.activation is now the only JAR providing activation functionality.

For more information, see Duplicate JAR finder.

Added new integration test for testing JPQL queries

A new integration test has been added to the ep-core-itests module to make it easier to test JPQL queries against a Self-Managed Commerce database.

For more information, see JPQL Query Test.

Added pagination support for wish list line items in Cortex

Added a new link to the wishlists.wishlist resource named lineitemspaginated. This returns the same elements as the existing lineitems link, but the results are paginated. The page size is defined by the COMMERCE/STORE/listPagination setting value.

For more information, see Read paginated wishlist line items.

Added a new setting to disable price faceting to improve search indexing performance

For customers with a large number of price lists, rebuilding the product search index may be very slow, since the price for each product in every price list must be determined and populated in the index. However, this functionality is only needed for a specific aspect of filtered navigation functionality which allows shoppers to filter their search results by price.

If this functionality is not needed, it can be disabled by setting the COMMERCE/STORE/FILTEREDNAVIGATION/priceFacetingEnabled setting to false. This has two effects:

The price faceting option is not shown when viewing facets on offer search results or category results.
Pricing is not calculated during product search indexing, and is not stored in the SOLR index.

If this setting is disabled, product search indexing may be significantly faster for some customers.

Multiple extension point framework improvements

See the Extension Point Framework release notes.

Fixed issues

Commerce Engine

Performance optimization for retrieving extensions for Extension Points

Profiling revealed that the XPFExtensionLookup#getMultipleExtensions and XPFExtensionLookup#getSingleExtension methods were a major performance bottleneck.

Within the call stack of these methods is a call to PluginManager#getExtensions. Although this call used a cache to avoid expensive extension instantiation costs, it still ended up doing classpath scanning to determine which classes support the passed extension point.

We were able to completely avoid doing this classpath scanning since we’ve already identified the available extensions within XPFInMemoryExtensionResolverImpl#init.

These changes resulted in approximately a 7% improvement in overall Cortex response times.

Corrected bundle availability logic

The previous availability logic for bundles was correct for fixed bundles but not always correct for dynamic bundles.

Previous behavior: If any constituent was OUT_OF_STOCK, then the entire bundle was considered OUT_OF_STOCK. New behavior: The bundle availability status is set to AVAILABLE when the number of available constituents is greater than or equal to the selection rule count, and OUT_OF_STOCK otherwise.

For example, given a scenario where the selection rule is 2, the bundle is assigned 5 constituents:

If 3 are out of stock, the bundle will show as AVAILABLE.
If 4 or more are out of stock, then the bundle availability will show as OUT_OF_STOCK.

Order shipment shipping discount is now persisted

The TORDERSHIPMENT table stores shipping subtotal (including discounts) in the SHIPPING_COST column. However, the shipping subtotal before discounts and the shipping discount were not stored separately.

To address this issue, a SHIPPING_DISCOUNT field has been added to track the shipping discount, and we use the previously ignored SHIPPING_SUBTOTAL field to track shipping subtotal before discounts.

To summarize:

Shipping subtotal before discounts: TORDERSHIPMENT.SHIPPING_COST
Shipping discount: TORDERSHIPMENT.SHIPPING_DISCOUNT
Shipping subtotal including discounts: TORDERSHIPMENT.SHIPPING_SUBTOTAL

note

Since it's not possible to retroactively derive these values, existing TORDERSHIPMENT records will contain null SHIPPING_DISCOUNT and SHIPPING_SUBTOTAL values. However, these fields will be populated for all newly created orders.

Added a new warning to the logs if application cache implementation is not being used

A new warning is now logged when a service using SwitchableProxyBinder is using the fallback implementation, which usually indicates that application-level caching is not working. This can happen if no OSGi or Spring beans registered a cache implementation binding with the SwitchableProxyBinder.

Example warning message:

WARN: Using fallback implementation of `com.elasticpath.service.pricing.PriceListAssignmentService`. This usually means that caching is disabled for this service. See https://documentation.elasticpath.com/commerce/docs/core/platform/cross-platform/ehcache.html#switchable-proxy-binder for more information.

For more information, see Switchable Proxy Binder: Determining if extensions are registered properly.

Added missing test modules to the Maven reactor

Previously, there were a number of modules that were not included in the Maven reactor. These modules are typically run tests that require a deployment to exist.

Since these modules are not included in the Maven reactor, they were not compiled or checked by the static analysis tools until the tests were actually run. This led to long delays in feedback about compilation, Checkstyle, and PMD errors.

Refactoring was much harder since IntelliJ wasn't aware of these classes. It also breaks the IntelliJ navigation to and from Cucumber features and their step definitions.

To address this issue, the following modules have been added to the Maven reactor:

ep-commerce/commerce-engine/core/ep-core-tool-itests
ep-commerce/extensions/cortex/ext-system-tests/cucumber
ep-commerce/extensions/catalog
ep-commerce/extensions/catalog/ext-system-tests
ep-commerce/extensions/catalog/system-tests
ep-commerce/extensions/system-tests/performance-tests/cucumber
ep-commerce/extensions/cm/ext-cm-modules/ext-system-tests
ep-commerce/extensions/cm/ext-cm-modules/system-tests/selenium

Cortex

Cortex OSGi console is no longer accessible by default

Previously, the OSGi console was accessible by default at the system/console path. Although this was secured with a username/password, the default credentials are very easy to guess, so this presented a security risk.

To mitigate this risk, the OSGi console is now blocked by default, unless the ep.management.port system property is set to the desired port. For production environments, we recommend setting this value to a port that is internally accessible for debugging production issues, but not externally accessible. Note that Tomcat must also be configured to listen on the specified port.

Commerce Manager

Added caching for `CartOrderService#getCartOrderGuidByShoppingCartGuid`

Normally, services handling shopper-controlled entities are not cached because they are changed frequently. However, the CartOrderService#getCartOrderGuidByShoppingCartGuid service is used to retrieve the cart order GUID for a shopping cart GUID, which will never change, so it's cachable. This change eliminates several unnecessary database queries during shopping cart operations.

Search Server

Re-index products when catalog promotions are added

Fixed functionality to ensure that affected products are re-indexed when catalog promotions are added, modified, or become active or inactive to ensure that the indexed price is correct.

Tests

Consolidated and cleaned up Cucumber test Cargo configurations

Reduced duplication and complexity in the configuration of the Cargo plugins for Cucumber tests. Many of the properties, dependencies, and Cargo plugin configuration parameters have been moved out of the individual Cucumber module POMs and into extensions/pom.xml and root pom.xml. The root pom.xml contains the shared dependencies and Cargo plugin configuration needed by all modules, while the extensions/pom.xml contains specific execution configurations for starting each Self-Managed Commerce service for use by the Cucumber tests.

Additionally, the Cargo configuration defined in the root pom.xml is reused by the webapp modules when local developers are starting the webapps with mvn clean package cargo:run.

Database

Added missing Liquibase checksums to changesets that were updated during the Liquibase upgrade.
Fixed preconditions in core-changelog-2020-08-cleanup-expired-failed-orders-job changeset to avoid potential upgrade error.
Removed checksum validation from core-changelog-2024-07-expired-data-point-values-job changeset due to required changes in earlier versions.

Database index consistency

In MySQL, if a foreign key constraint is added to a table and no index exists on the base column, the index is created automatically. However, in Oracle and PostgreSQL, if a foreign key constraint is added to a table and no index exists on the base column, the index is not created automatically.

As a result, some Self-Managed Commerce tables had implicit indexes on MySQL, but not on Oracle or PostgreSQL. To correct this, Liquibase changesets have been created to make the following changes:

On MySQL, these changes are applied to ensure that the index names are consistent with the index names in Oracle and PostgreSQL:

On the TAPPLIEDRULECOUPONCODE table, drop the TAPPLIEDRULECOUPONCODE_COUPON_GUID_FK foreign key constraint (to remove the implicit index), add the I_APPLIEDRULECOUPONCODE_COUPONGUID index, and re-add the TAPPLIEDRULECOUPONCODE_COUPON_GUID_FK foreign key constraint.
On the TCARTORDERPAYMENTINSTRUMENT table, drop the FK_CARTORDERPAYMENTINSTRUMENT_PI foreign key constraint (to remove the implicit index), add the I_CARTORDERPAYMENTINSTRUMENT_PAYMENTINSTRUMENTGUID index, and re-add the FK_CARTORDERPAYMENTINSTRUMENT_PI foreign key constraint.
On the TCSDYNAMICCONTENTSPACE table, drop the FK_DELSPACE_CONTENTSPACE foreign key constraint (to remove the implicit index), add the I_CSDYNAMICCONTENTSPACE_DCCONTENTSPACEUID index, and re-add the FK_DELSPACE_CONTENTSPACE foreign key constraint.
On the TCUSTOMERCONSENT table, drop the FK_CONSENT_CUSTOMER foreign key constraint (to remove the implicit index), add the I_CUSTOMERCONSENT_CUSTOMERGUID index, and re-add the FK_CONSENT_CUSTOMER foreign key constraint.
On the TCUSTOMERPAYMENTINSTRUMENT table, drop the FK_CUSTOMERPAYMENTINSTRUMENT_PI foreign key constraint (to remove the implicit index), add the I_CUSTOMERPAYMENTINSTRUMENT_PAYMENTINSTRUMENTGUID index, and re-add the FK_CUSTOMERPAYMENTINSTRUMENT_PI foreign key constraint.
On the TDATAPOLICYDATAPOINT table, drop the TDATAPOLICYDATAPOINT_IBFK_2 foreign key constraint (to remove the implicit index), add the I_DATAPOLICYDATAPOINT_DATAPOINTUID index, and re-add the TDATAPOLICYDATAPOINT_IBFK_2 foreign key constraint.
On the TORDERPAYMENT table, drop the FK_ORDERPAYMENT_PI foreign key constraint (to remove the implicit index), add the I_ORDERPAYMENT_PAYMENTINSTRUMENTGUID index, and re-add the FK_ORDERPAYMENT_PI foreign key constraint.
On the TORDERPAYMENT table, drop the FK_ORDERPAYMENT_PPC foreign key constraint (to remove the implicit index), add the I_ORDERPAYMENT_PAYMENTPROVIDERCONFIGUID index, and re-add the FK_ORDERPAYMENT_PPC foreign key constraint.
On the TORDERPAYMENTINSTRUMENT table, drop the FK_ORDERPAYMENTINSTRUMENT_PI foreign key constraint (to remove the implicit index), add the I_ORDERPAYMENTINSTRUMENT_PAYMENTINSTRUMENTGUID index, and re-add the FK_ORDERPAYMENTINSTRUMENT_PI foreign key constraint.
On the TSHOPPER table, drop the SHOPPER_STORECODE_FK foreign key constraint (to remove the implicit index), add the I_SHOPPER_STORECODE index, and re-add the SHOPPER_STORECODE_FK foreign key constraint.
On the TSTORECUSTOMERATTRIBUTE table, drop the SCA_ATTRIBUTE_KEY_FK foreign key constraint (to remove the implicit index), add the I_STORECUSTOMERATTRIBUTE_ATTRIBUTEKEY index, and re-add the SCA_ATTRIBUTE_KEY_FK foreign key constraint.
On the TTAGALLOWEDVALUE table, drop the FK_TAGALLOWEDVAL_TAGTYPE foreign key constraint (to remove the implicit index), add the I_TAGALLOWEDVALUE_TAGVALUETYPEGUID index, and re-add the FK_TAGALLOWEDVAL_TAGTYPE foreign key constraint.
On the TTAGVALUETYPEOPERATOR table, drop the FK_TAGOPERATOR_TAGVALUETYPE foreign key constraint (to remove the implicit index), add the I_TAGVALUETYPEOPERATOR_TAGOPERATORGUID index, and re-add the FK_TAGOPERATOR_TAGVALUETYPE foreign key constraint.

On PostgreSQL and Oracle, these changes are applied to ensure that all expected indexes are present:

On the TAPPLIEDRULECOUPONCODE table, add the I_APPLIEDRULECOUPONCODE_COUPONGUID index.
On the TCARTORDERPAYMENTINSTRUMENT table, add the I_CARTORDERPAYMENTINSTRUMENT_PAYMENTINSTRUMENTGUID index.
On the TCSDYNAMICCONTENTSPACE table, add the I_CSDYNAMICCONTENTSPACE_DCCONTENTSPACEUID index.
On the TCUSTOMERCONSENT table, add the I_CUSTOMERCONSENT_CUSTOMERGUID index.
On the TCUSTOMERPAYMENTINSTRUMENT table, add the I_CUSTOMERPAYMENTINSTRUMENT_PAYMENTINSTRUMENTGUID index.
On the TDATAPOLICYDATAPOINT table, add the I_DATAPOLICYDATAPOINT_DATAPOINTUID index.
On the TORDERPAYMENT table, add the I_ORDERPAYMENT_PAYMENTINSTRUMENTGUID index.
On the TORDERPAYMENT table, add the I_ORDERPAYMENT_PAYMENTPROVIDERCONFIGUID index.
On the TORDERPAYMENTINSTRUMENT table, add the I_ORDERPAYMENTINSTRUMENT_PAYMENTINSTRUMENTGUID index.
On the TSHOPPER table, add the I_SHOPPER_STORECODE index.
On the TSTORECUSTOMERATTRIBUTE table, add the I_STORECUSTOMERATTRIBUTE_ATTRIBUTEKEY index.
On the TTAGALLOWEDVALUE table, add the I_TAGALLOWEDVALUE_TAGVALUETYPEGUID index.
On the TTAGVALUETYPEOPERATOR table, add the I_TAGVALUETYPEOPERATOR_TAGOPERATORGUID index.
