This chapter covers the following topics:
Services are used by applications that work with the VCR service provider interface, which is used by the Oracle WebLogic Portal as a way to expose content from different repositories. The Content Server application supports VCR functionality.
Note:
VCR services are supported only when used with Contribution Folders (provided by the Folders_g component). VCR services are not supported with Folders (provided by the FrameworkFolders component). For information about Contribution Folders services, see Contribution Folders Services.
Information about what is a WebCenter Content service and how services can be used is provided in Using Services. Information about basic services structure, attributes, actions, and a service example is provided in Customizing Services. You should be familiar with this information before customizing current services or creating new services
