Content mappings
Content mappings are used to associate Web content pages with the Web content site structure in Web Content Manager system. When you select a folder to associate with a Web content page, a content mapping is created and maintained within the portal. Typically, the management of content mappings is automatically handled by the portal, but for those situations where you need to work more directly with content mappings, several mechanisms are available: the XML configuration interface, the Portal Scripting Interface, and the REST API for content mappings.
XML configuration interface and content mappings
With the XML configuration interface (xmlaccess command), you can perform batch updates of content mappings or export content mappings to import into another portal. Content mapping information is represented in the XML configuration schema by content-mapping-info elements.
Portal Scripting Interface and content mappings
With the Portal Scripting Interface, you can create scripts that you can use to automate the management of content mappings between Web content pages and folders in Web content system. Using the ContentMapping bean with the Portal Scripting Interface, you can add, modify, and remove content mappings.
If you are creating or extending an application and want to manage content mappings with that application, you can use portal remote APIs to retrieve a list of content mappings and then create, update, or delete mappings. Based on the Representational State Transfer (REST) architecture, these remote APIs represent information about content mappings as ATOM feeds, with actions being performed by sending HTTP requests to specific URLs.
