This article provides a step-by-step process for creating a simple WebSphere® Portal Web Content Management project. It shows how a news article site can be created for a portal environment to display content managed via Web Content Management. The news site content includes news article content, associated images, URL links, and documents.
The IBM® Lotus® Workplace Web Content Management (hereafter called Web Content Management) technology, acquired from Presence Online/Aptrix, delivers end-to-end Web content management for Internet, intranet, extranet and portal sites. Web Content Management leverages content in back-end systems and reduces development and implementation time, placing content creation and management firmly in the hands of content experts for "author once, publish everywhere" control. It runs on both Domino and WebSphere Application Server and provides for the integration of WebSphere Portal and DB2® Content Manager. This makes this offering fit well with IBM middleware and allows you to leverage existing investments.
