Migrating Contextual Image Delivery from a web application setup to a microservice setup

If you have Contextual Image Delivery installed on top of an in-process API setup, you must now migrate away from this setup, because in-process API is no longer supported. Instead, you install Contextual Image Delivery in its newer form, combining the new microservice (running on your Content Delivery server) with either a Web filter in your Java/JSP website or a proxy module in your .NET website. Also, remove the old JARs from your web application(s).

Procedure

  1. Follow the instructions in the installation documentation for Contextual Image Delivery to install the Contextual Image Delivery microservice.
  2. Access the library location of a web application that contains Contextual Image Delivery.
  3. Remove the following files:
    • cwd_image.jar
    • cwd_resource.jar
    • commons-codec.jar
    • httpclient.jar
    • httpcore.jar
    • cwd_cartridge.jar
    • cwd_engine.jar
  4. Restart the web application.
  5. Follow the instructions in the installation documentation for Contextual Image Delivery to add a Java Web filter or .NET proxy module to your web application.
  6. Repeat steps 2-5 for any web application that contains Contextual Image Delivery.
