The Content Management component of WebLogic Commerce Server (WLCS) 2.0 provides an easy-to-use content query and retrieval capability that can be integrated with personalization rules. This component can manage documents created and managed by third-party content management tools, such as Interwoven and Documentum, as well as simple HTML documents. This capability, used together with personalization rules, enables content personalization, whereby the rules match user attributes against document attributes.
The personalization advisor component of WLCS 2.0 classifies users or groups based on their attributes and matches the classification against content attributes, all based on declarative rules that can be changed dynamically at run time. For information on the personalization advisor, see Creating Personalized Applications with the Personalization Advisor. WLCS 2.0 uses the Unified User Profile to allow existing (legacy) customer data to be seamlessly combined with the profile data in WLCS. This is done transparently so that the user profile appears to have a uniform set of attributes, even though some attributes may reside in the legacy tables and others in the WLCS tables.
WLCS 2.0 can use any valid implementation of the weblogic.security.acl.AbstractListableRealm, such as those supplied with WLS (properties file, Windows NT, Unix, and LDAP). In addition, WLCS ships with a RDBMS-based realm implementation. What has changed from WLCS Release 1.7?
WLCS 2.0 includes the ability to create and manage users and groups independent of portals. A user may be known, identified during a login process, or anonymous. A user may be a member of none, one, or more groups. Groups may also contain other groups, providing the ability to create a hierarchy of groups. The User Manager allows an administrator to create, add, and remove users and groups. Administrators can also retrieve user and group names, IDs, and objects.
A portlet can now be personalized to be mandatory. A mandatory portlet is one that is always available and visible. The portlet can be made mandatory at the definition, portal personalization, and group personalization levels.
The Property Set Management tools allow you to create and manage sets of name/value pairs of typed properties. Property sets may be defined to describe user and group, session, request, and content properties.
WLCS 2.0 requires WLS 5.1. In addition, WLCS has been upgraded to use JDK 1.2.2 and EJB 1.1 on WLS 5.1. |
