3 New & Noteworthy
With Intershop Commerce Management (ICM) 7.8 we are supporting microservices for the Application Server tier for the first time. This means that Intershop provides a blue-print for building and deploying microservices which can be used from the Application Servers. Our first feature implemented with microservices is Recurring Order. This feature consists of a RecurringOrder and a Scheduling microservice.
4 Limitations
In conjunction with microservices there are some shortcomings with respect to deployment and services:
- If you are running Eureka server as a Windows service you might experience a problem stopping the Netflix Eureka via Windows service. Temporary Solution: kill the process.
- Microservices can be only deployed per Application Server. Host type
Microservicesvia Gradle deployment is not working currently. - Installing a service via systemctl as systemd under Linux seems to fail occasionally. Temporary Solution: use init.d instead.
- It is necessary that the following eureka attributes within the eureka extension in the settings.gradle end with an '/'
- serverUrlPath
- serviceUrls.default
- If you are deploying the microservices under linux and derby is used as datasbase, the configProperties['javax.persistence.jdbc.url'] must contain an absolute path
- e.g., configProperties['javax.persistence.jdbc.url'] = 'jdbc:derby:<SERVER_HOME>/local/microservices/runtime/testdb;create=true'
