Major update on the blog about Hybris: article on Cockpit Framework Expert Customization.
Part of the Hybris “admin panels” are built on ZK Framework 3.6, precisely on a framework built on top of this ZK. All this is very old and poorly documented. Nearly in all projects, any modification in this area is a pain for developers. There are few specialists. Those who are available do not know the subject thoroughly. SAP itself fully understands the dead-end chosen many years ago and is gradually replacing it with the new framework, Cockpit NG (next generation), which also uses ZK, but now version 8 (the old one is built on 3.6, released seven years ago!). So, this article is about the old framework. We have to use it in every project, no matter how hard we try to avoid it. Many tasks cannot be done otherwise.
There is a lot of information; there will be several articles. Today – the first part.
