How to enhance jsp and controllers of addons in storefront

[robert_baethe]

Hi,

we use serveral addons in our generated storefront. Jsps and contollers are copied from the addon to the storefront during build.

What is the best approach to modify these jsps and controllers? We do not want to modify the addon extension itselves but just to modify the copied files in the storefront. But during the build modfied files are overwritten by the originals again.

Thanks, Robert

When you create an addon using extgen it creates an extension under "custom" folder. You should update this extension under custom folder. Also after the addon is created you should comment out the default addon from localextension and instead give your addon name.
