Package com.plumtree.remote.search Description

Provides interfaces for searching remote systems from the Plumtree Corporate Portal.

Search services provide access to external repositories without adding documents to the Knowledge Directory. Search services are especially useful for content that changes frequently or is only accessed by a small number of portal users. Search services are a way to make content accessible to portal users without adding documents to your portal Knowledge Directory.

In version 5.0, search functionality is implemented using remote services. Using the EDK, you can create remote search services that access a range of back-end systems.

See Search Example

To view the SOAP endpoint to enter in the Profile Web Service Settings of the Profile Web Service, open a browser and point it to http://<my_server>:<my_port>/<war_name>/services. For example, http://express-job1.devnet.plumtree.com:8080/HelloWorldSearch/services. The page should display "And now...Some Services." with a list of all defined services. The default endpoint for Search URL is http://<my_server>:<my_port>/<war_name>/services/SearchProviderSoapBinding, and for Service Configuration URL (if used) is http://<my_server>:<my_port>/<war_name>/services/SciProviderSoapBinding. If the DeployServlet was used to create the services, you will see the services with a developer-supplied prefix.
