    - Generic type parameters
      Generic type parameters are used for implementing service interfaces. For more information on service interfaces, see AssetPicker/AssetPicker-DeveloperGuide/Content/service_implementations.html.
    - Service invocation
      The asset-integration-starter project contains a com.example.service.client.CustomServiceClient class to illustrate the service invocation.
    - Execution context
      Almost every method in service implementation contract receives an instance of com.hcl.unica.cms.model.request.ExecutionContext class.
      - User data source
        Use the ExecutionContext to obtain applicable user data source (credentials) by navigating through InstanceConfig object.:
    - Standard services and specialized types
      The plugin developer needs to implement RestService/HttpService or FunctionalService interface to create an individual service.
    - Standard exceptions
    - Loggers
      Asset Picker provides logging interface using the slf4j library. By adding dependency for the slf4j library, the plugins can use its API for adding loggers inside service implementations.

User data source

Use the ExecutionContext to obtain applicable user data source (credentials) by navigating through InstanceConfig object.:

executionContext.getInstanceConfig().getDataSourceCredentials()

The DataSourceCredentials object returned by the getDataSourceCredentials method contains the selected data source based on the strategy set up for User credentials in Platform configuration. Hence, plugins will not make any logical decision pertaining to the right selection of the user data source.

Similarly, the getUnicaToken method called on InstanceConfig object returns a UnicaToken object containing the Unica Token required for invoking APIs of Unica applications.
