Content Manager OnDemand Web Enablement Kit

The Content Manager OnDemand Web Enablement Kit (ODWEK) provides a set of programming interfaces that can search and retrieve documents from Content Manager OnDemand servers.

ODWEK allows users to access data that is stored in Content Manager OnDemand with IBM® Content Navigator or a user-written program. An application that uses the Java API can verify permissions, manage hit lists and return data. For example, ODWEK verifies that the user information is valid on the Content Manager OnDemand server, such as permission to access the server and data stored in an application group. After the user submits a search, the ODWEK Java API returns a list of the documents that match the query. The user selects a document to view and IBM Content Navigator or the user-written program sends the document to the browser.

The diagram shows a workstation with a web browser that is being used to access data from a Content Manager OnDemand server.

ODWEK contains the following components:
  • The ODWEK Java Application Programming Interface (Java API). The Java API uses standard Content Manager OnDemand interfaces and protocols to access data stored in a Content Manager OnDemand server. No additional code is needed on the Content Manager OnDemand server to support ODWEK. The Java API provides a way to access Content Manager OnDemand data from a user-written program. The Java API also provides a way to access Content Manager OnDemand data from software such as IBM Content Navigator.
  • The HTML Line Data Viewer. The HTML Line Data Viewer lets users view SCS and line data documents from a web browser.
