Overview of Content Selectors

A Content Selector is a mechanism that, under a certain set of conditions, queries the content management system for documents. The Content Selector returns an array of content and content metadata. This allows you to define the conditions under which specific content can be viewed by a visitor to a Web site.

State content displays regardless of a user query. No user query update is required in the WebLogic Administration Portal in order to conduct a content preview. This rule usually only returns one content item to the same specific user.

Dynamic content displays based upon a user query. Different users will see different content. The user query field must be updated with a specific username in order to conduct a content preview in the WebLogic Administration Portal.

Content selectors are key in delivering personalized content to visitors. Developers can define and place Content Selectors in a JSP in WebLogic Workshop. Administrators then use the WebLogic Administration Portal to set parameters for the Content Selectors to change both whom is targeted by the content and what content is delivered.
