In partnership with Digicon Pty Ltd, ASERT has developed a J2EE Content Management Environment for documents. This environment is used for rapidly developing Content-Aware enterprise applications.

Features

Key features of CmeDocs include:

• A powerful Repository Engine which provides an abstraction layer to all your content and documents - allowing any content to be easily accessed through a uniform mechanism
  • currently supports EJB, JDBC, XML, hibernate and native file-based content stores and plug-ins for other store types are available or can be readily created

    

• Powerful Import/Export features with support for various kinds of Office documents, PDF, html, XML and raw data
  • Powerful filter plug-ins can be applied during import or export to modify content or extraction information such as metadata, e.g. metadata can be extracted from colored content, html meta tags, rdf, word and pdf documents
• Fully J2EE compliant
  • so that it runs on your existing J2EE 1.3 or 1.4 compliant application server or portal infrastructure
• Repository Manager
  • supports a range of functions which your content administrator can use to manage your content, its structure and supporting files

    

• Powerful structuring rules for content and metadata
  • allow documents to support Dublic-core, AGLS and other metadata standards and allows metadata to be managed over time
• In-line html editing capabilities
  • Allow your internal, B2C and B2B applications to support content creation with zero footprint on client machines

    

• Extensive tag library support
  • Tag libraries support content and metadatacreation, versioning, storage, extraction& fragmentation, import/export, filters, querying/searching, content display helpers for reports and on-line charts
• Web Service capabilities
  • supports content and metadatacreation, versioning,storage, extraction& fragmentation, import/export, filters, querying/searching, content display helpers for reports and on-line charts
• Growing library of pre-created CmeDocs Content-Aware applications
  • Sample Applications include FAQ, What'sNew
  • Communications Manager (Optional) supports Call Centre business processes
  • Subscriber Manager (Optional) supports Self-Managed or Organisational-Managed distribution of changing content and documents

Benefits

• Integrated content stores allow searching across many different sources of content reducing wasted time finding information or learning multiple search tools
• Powerful metadata extraction tools reduce training and change management costs for content creators who don't need to become metadata experts
• Powerful tag libraries features reduce web application development time for web designers and allow them to develop web forms and other applications without being J2EE gurus
• Common APIs and plugin mechanisms reduce system integration activities when plugging in additional content types
• Standards-based tools and APIs reduce vendor lock-in and leverage the now large pool of J2EE developers
• Powerful management tools reduce many tasks which previously required expensive and time-consuming programming to administrative tasks
• Reduced time to deliver Content-Aware applications because of pre-built applications and powerful underlying framework
• Realistic licensing costs result in much faster ROI

Integration

• BEA WebLogic Integration
  • WebLogic Server 6.1 thru 9
  • Custom Security Realm supports RDBMS & LDAP simultaneously with WebLogic 6.1 (not required for later versions)
  • Can be used to write Content-Aware WebLogic Portal Applications
  • Web Service Features can be used in conjunction with WebLogic Workshop
  • Can be used in conjunction with Liquid Data for XML
• Search API supports plug-ins such as the open source Jakarta Lucene search engine
• Tag Libraries supported in Dreamweaver MX/MX 2004
• Ability to connect via J2CA to legacy applications
• Fully supportive of Web Service content access
• Supports JAAS security or J2EE-based workflow engines
