Key Components

AssetSourceAware

Interface exposing the following attributes needed to produce a content URL:

applicationId
tenantId
url
provider

EntityAsset

Abstract class implementing AssetSourceAware. EntityAsset objects represent a relationship between an Asset and an entity, containing additional attributes to support assets of different DefaultAssetTypes

AssetContentUrlResolver

This is the service responsible for building a fully resolved content URL path that can be used to directly fetch the binary data from an AssetSourceAware object.

BroadleafProviderContentUrlResolver

Out-of-box Broadleaf provides an AssetContentUrlResolver that is prepared to handle the following cases:

When the asset is using the BROADLEAF asset provider, it will prepend the contentUrlPrefix defined in AssetProviderProperties to the original URL.
When using any other provider, it will duplicate the original URL.

AssetContentUrlSerializer

This service is responsible for writing the URL JSON field and for introducing a new contentUrl property on the serialized output.
