Accessing KM content from within a web application

[Former Member]

We are trying to migrate an application from a BEA webServer onto the webAS. The application relies heavily on the BEA content management system (CMS), this is to be replaced by the KM. We cannot rebuild the application using iViews etc as we have to retain the current look and feel, and hence we will have to call the KM content from the jsp code within the application. Does anyone know if this is possible and can give us an idea of what API's we call...(if the API’s exist and if this is the correct approach).

Many thanks

Hi James,

> call the KM content from the jsp code

That sounds not very well designed...

Anyhow, KM API is very intuitive. Just look around: https://media.sdn.sap.com/html/submitted_docs/nw_kmc/javadoc/index.html and if you have questions in detail, just ask.

Hope it helps

BEA have a content tag library for extracting content from the CMS within a JSP page. I think this is what James may be referring to.

Does the KM have equivalent taglibs? If so, can these be configured to access the KM running on a different J2EE instance (specifically one running on another machine).

Going to browse the API docs anyway, but if you have a short answer to this, please post.

Hi Gary,

short answer: KM has no taglibs at all.

Best regards
