What is the difference in expanding and adding to Hybris

Question

I believe that the default value Extensioncan encapsulate business logic, type definitions, configurations, and additions.

I know that is Add Onalso a type Extensionsthat extends normal extensions.

I also know that Add Ons Extend Functionality, without touching the CODE base.

Any inputs from Hybris experts are highly appreciated.

Answer 1

An extension is an encapsulated piece of Hybris Commerce Suite that can contain business logic, type definitions, a web application, or the configuration of a Hybris Management Console (hMC).

Hybris , , yempty, yaddon, ycockpit, ybackoffice ycommercewebservices.

Thus, Addon will be the best choice, because it is convenient and can fulfill any required role. (for example, it has * -items.xml for adding or changing Hybris types, you can write controllers for display windows, you can write your own services or facades or cms component). I hope you find this helpful.
