Developing
You can extend the standard features of IBM Web Content Manager using the Web Content Manager API and JSP files.
- The IBM Web Content Manager API
You can use the Web Content Manager API to extend functions of Web Content Manager.
Converting an IBM API web content viewer to the JSR 286 API
Out-of-the-box the web content viewer is based on the JSR 286 API. However, if you have exported the web content viewer from another server or if you installed the older IBM API web content viewer, you can use the convert-wcm-rendering-portlet task to convert the IBM API web content viewer setttings and instances to the JSR 286 Web Content Viewer portlet.
Remote actions are used to trigger actions from the IBM Web Content Manager application.
You can configure an authoring portlet to use a launch page of own design instead of the default user interface.
A custom plugin is a reusable Java class that you create to perform a task. You can create custom plug-ins such as custom workflow actions, plug-ins to run when a page is rendered, plug-ins to store multi-locale text strings and plug-ins to run when a file is uploaded.
Displaying data from external sources
You display data from external sources using the same methods as you would when creating a website.
Create websites for different localities
Although websites that automatically display content for different localities or languages are not directly supported by IBM Web Content Manager, it is possible to maintain separate libraries within Web Content Manager for different localities.
Enable Java messaging services for web content
Web Content Manager provides support for the notification of events such as item state changes, or services starting and stopping. These notifications can be delivered as messages to the Java messaging service.
Work with IBM Web Content Integrator
The Web Content Integrator is a solution for integrating externally managed Web content with WebSphere Portal. Through the use of standard content syndication feed technologies based on RSS 2.0, the Web Content Integrator provides a loosely-coupled mechanism for transferring published content and metadata to the portal after they have been approved in the source system. Once the content and metadata have been transferred to the portal, it is possible to use the built-in content management features of WebSphere Portal to secure, personalize, and display the content to users.
With WebDAV for IBM WebSphere Portal, you can use standard OS tools to create, modify, and delete Web content rather than the standard authoring portlet.
