The IBM® Content Cortex
family
of products provides an extensive collection of development and integration
tools. This section briefly describes these tools and provides links
to more information about them.
Content Services GraphQL API Content Platform Engine . The API schema definition of types and fields matches Content Engine Java API object model closely, with necessary and desirable extensions for natural GraphQL developer consumption.Content Engine Java API Content Engine . The Java API can be configured to run across either the Enterprise Java Beans (EJB) or Web Services Interoperability (WSI) protocols. When running across the EJB listener, the Java API leverages the full capability of the Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE) framework to propagate security and transaction context. The Java API also leverages a Java Authentication and Authorization Service (JAAS) context, if available.Content Engine .NET API Content Engine . The API accepts username and password credentials for authentication. The .NET API works only with the WSI Listener.Content Platform Engine Client Download Service Java API Content Platform Engine Client Download Service enables you to build version-compatibility checks and automatic updates into Java client applications that use any of the Content Platform Engine APIs. Using the Client Download Service, a client can compare and report on the compatibility between its APIs and the API versions on the Content Platform Engine . If incompatibilities exist, the client can download the latest API components from the server.Process Java API Process Engine . For example, you can use the Process Java API to build a custom step processor, which performs all the operations associated with a step in a workflow.Process Engine Rest Service Process Engine REST Service enables lightweight clients (typically, Javascript/Ajax-based applications) to access Process Engine resources over HTTP, using the HTTP query string format for both request and response data. JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) is used as the data-interchange format.Web Services IBM Content Cortex includes web services for both Content Engine and Process Engine . Both web services are compliant with WS-I Basic Profile 1.0 and WS-Security. Using these web services, you can access most of the same functionality that the Content Engine APIs provide, including all objects and most properties and methods. In addition, you can create and launch workflows as well as perform queue, step, and roster operations. Process Engine also provides process orchestration functionality based on Web Services and workflow standards (BPEL4WS), which you can call from an external client.Component Integrator Content Engine component (CE_Operations) that includes functions to get and set properties, file and unfile objects from folders, and publish a document.FileNet System Manager APIs Samples
