Integrate Content Using the JCR Standard
In 
      today's IT deployments, structured and unstructured content is increasingly 
      managed through content management systems. Integrating content from these 
      systems usually requires custom coding against proprietary and complex APIs. 
      In the past, creating new applications that leveraged these content systems 
      has been costly and hard to maintain or upgrade.
      Oracle WebCenter Framework leverages the Java Content Repository (JCR) standard 
      and provides an easy alternative to purely coding against JCR APIs for achieving 
      integration. Oracle WebCenter Framework hides the complexity of the JCR 
      standard behind a generic framework, making integration a simple matter 
      of dragging and dropping the relevant controls into your application, and 
      binding them to the appropriate content data control. Adapters written in 
      compliance with the JCR standard provide access to different backend content 
      systems.
      Oracle WebCenter provides JCR adapters to access Oracle Content Server, 
      Oracle Portal, and the file system. Additionally, Oracle not only delivers 
      a set of adapters for third party content systems (such as EMC Documentum, 
      IBM Lotus Domino, and MS Sharepoint), but also supports third party adapters. 
      If you have content that is stored in a proprietary content system (for 
      example, digital media assets), you can create your own proprietary content 
      adapter that leverages the JCR standard, and use it with Oracle WebCenter 
      Framework.
