The IBM Web Content Manager API

We can use the Web Content Manager API to extend functions of Web Content Manager.

• We can use the Web Content Manager API to:

• create items

• delete items

• move items

• copy items

• retrieve items

• approve items in a workflow

• search for items

The Javadoc documentation can be reviewed for a complete set of the features available using the API. The Javadoc HTML files are located under the PROFILE_ROOT\installedApps\nodename\wcm.ear\ilwwcm.war\webinterface\ folder.

• Use the API
  The workspace is the heart of the IBM Web Content Manager API. Items are created, saved, deleted and searched for in the workspace item. A workspace is basically an interface to Web Content Manager associated with a user. Using a workspace item, the user can perform operations as that user.
