Building web applications by using the ODWEK Java APIs

Although there are a variety of Java application types that can be created by using the ODWEK Java APIs, there are some important guidelines to consider when developing web applications.

The Content Manager OnDemand Web Enablement Kit (ODWEK) Java APIs provide a rich development environment for Java developers who need client access to Content Manager OnDemand servers. This application interface provides a direct mapping between server concepts and Java objects. These Java objects provide access to Servers, Folders, Criteria, and Hits, making it easy for web application developers to logon, search, and retrieve Content Manager OnDemand content.

This section contains best practice considerations to maximize your ODWEK application performance, usability, and security. Web application development is a broad subject. This information focuses on concepts of mid-tier development that utilize servlet technology with regard to architecture of the ODWEK Java APIs. These concepts can be applied to other mid-tier web implementations as developing a servlet is not a requirement.
