Web services
Content Manager Enterprise Edition has a web service interface you can use to perform actions against a Content Manager Enterprise Edition system. You can use it in your applications; with other web service interfaces; and in complex business processes.
The main components in the Content Manager Enterprise Edition web service model include the requester, the web service server, and the XML beans layer. The Content Manager Enterprise Edition web service interface architecture is based on a messaging communications model, in which whole documents are exchanged between service clients and servers.
Web services requires WebSphere® Application Server, and supports various deployment target scenarios:
- Single server configuration (unmanaged node)
- The typical configuration for a WebSphere Application Server base package. Because there is only one node, the deployment of web service is launched on the same workstation where the node is installed.
- Network Deployment (managed node)
- A local or remote configuration that supports the Deployment Manager. This scenario requires one Deployment Manager node and one or more managed application server nodes. Web services can be deployed on one (and only one) application server node that has been federated to the Deployment Manager.
- Cluster
- A locale or remote configuration where web services is deployed on a cluster. A cluster can be the target of deploying web services.
