Cortex Java Client SDK Release Notes

3.0.1

Released: May 2023

Release Highlights

Added support for format=nolinks query parameter

Clients can now specify the format=nolinks parameter when making GET requests to Cortex. See Cortex Format Query Parameter for more information. The query parameter can be added using the @Format annotation as in the following example:

@Zoom(@Path("order"))
@FollowLocation
@Format({FormatOptionEnum.NOLINKS})
public class CartOrder {}

3.0.0

Released: September 2022

Release Highlights

Removed OSGi support

The Cortex Java Client library was switched from a bundle to a JAR and all OSGi and Sling dependencies were removed. This makes the JAR smaller and easier to use in non-OSGi scenarios.

This version is not intended for use in Adobe Experience Manager.

Improved Cortex response handling

When CortexClient receives a response, it now expects certain response types based on the HTTP status returned.

• If 2XX response received, expects the response to be a JSON document of the expected type.
• If 4XX response received, expects the response to be a structured error message or a collection of structured error messages in the "messages" field (the previous version did not handle both of these cases properly).
• If 5XX response received, expects the response to be a plain text string.

Third-party library upgrades

Several third party libraries were upgraded to address reported security vulnerabilities in these dependencies.
