    - Generic type parameters
      Generic type parameters are used for implementing service interfaces. For more information on service interfaces, see ContentIntegration/DeveloperGuide/service_implementations.html.
    - Service invocation
      The asset-integration-starter project contains a com.example.service.client.CustomServiceClient class to illustrate the service invocation.
    - Execution context
      Almost every method in service implementation contract receives an instance of com.hcl.unica.system.model.request.ExecutionContext class.
    - Standard services and specialized types
      The plugin developer needs to implement RestService/HttpService or FunctionalService interface to create an individual service.
      - Invocation of standard services
        Once declared in service declaration file, and implemented using either RESTful or Functional approach, Content Integration Framework invokes the standard services in following scenarios:
      - Specialized types
    - Standard exceptions
    - Loggers
      Content Integration Framework provides logging interface using the slf4j library. By adding dependency for the slf4j library, the plugins can use its API for adding loggers inside service implementations.
  - Setting up the development environment
    Set up the development environment in Eclipse IDE for writing your plugins. Use any Java EE IDE of your choice and make the required configurations mentioned in this topic. You need certain artifacts from <ASSET_PICKER_HOME> to complete the environment setup. This topic will provide information about project building and packaging using Apache Maven so ensure that you have Apache Maven installed.
  - Verification and troubleshooting
    To verify end-to-end integration, place the JAR file, containing the plugin implementation, in the class path of the application server where the Content Integration is deployed. Additionally, configure the corresponding content repository in <ASSET_PICKER_HOME>/conf/systems.properties file (you can refer to the sample-systems.properties file within the <ASSET_PICKER_HOME>/dev-kits/asset-integration-starter project).

Standard services and specialized types

The plugin developer needs to implement RestService/HttpService or FunctionalService interface to create an individual service.

The Content Integration Framework leverages this design and defines certain standard service classes for Simple Search (simple-search), List Content Categories (list-content-categories), List Folders (list-folders), List Contents (list-contents), Get Content Details (get-content-details), Get Object Schema (get-object-schema) and Get Cognitive Analysis (get-cognitive-analysis) services. The standard-integrations.jar provided as part of Content Integration SDK provides specialized versions of RestService and FunctionalService for each of these standard services to facilitate their implementation using RESTful or Functional approach.
