JSP / Controller not found for custom component in Hybris addon

I’m running Hybris 6.6 and are building a new addon, that is basically a controller and corresponding JSP. During runtime however, Hybris isn’t finding the controller bean and searches for JSP in the storefront folder (it’s not there, since the JSP is in the storefront addon folder).

I created the addon using extgen, and then installed it in the storefront using also ant.

Steps:

I’ve debuged the code, and when Hybris tries to find if there is a controller via getBeanFactory().contains(controller) it returns false. If I look at the bean list that the bean factory returns, the bean for the controller is not there.

Any clues on what’s happening? I’ve even tried to create the controller bean explicitly on the -web-spring.xml but doesn’t change anything.

Thank you

Make sure

  • Your controller should extends GenericCMSAddOnComponentController or AbstractCMSAddOnComponentController for the compoent inside addon.

  • Annotate the Controller with

    @Controller(YourComponentController) @RequestMapping(value="/view/YourComponentController")

  • Add your jsp to *addon/web/webroot/*/view/*/cms/yourcomponentname.jsp. Refer getView method of AbstractCMSAddOnComponentController for the path

  • *-web-spring.xml should be in resource folder/path

  • component scan should be added for your controller in *-web-spring.xml

    <context:component-scan base-package="my.path.controllers"/>

  • *-web-spring.xml should be configured in additionalWebSpringConfigs properties. Refer your addon project.properties

    like myCustomstorefront.additionalWebSpringConfigs.MyAddonName=classpath:/XXX/web/spring/*-web-spring.xml

In addition to the excellent instructions by HybrisHelp, it's likely that others coming across this question need to add this to the *-web-spring.xml

scope-resolver="de.hybris.platform.spring.IgnoreTenantScopeMetadataResolver"

so it looks like 

<context:component-scan base-package="my.path.controllers" scope-resolver="de.hybris.platform.spring.IgnoreTenantScopeMetadataResolver" />

Only with this attribute, the controller was loaded for me.
