Manifest file

Where could I find a description or example of the manifest file that is/should be generated by OpenDeploy according to the document on Portal integration with Jetspeed ? Is the API available online ?

In general, I believe the "manifest" file that OpenDeploy uses is "internal" to the product and not generally exported for other purposes (I could be wrong though).

Can you provide a pointer to the "document on Portal integration with Jetspeed" ? I'm not familliar with this document nor its location (devnet?, www?, somewhere else?)

Sure,
the reference is http://devnet.interwoven.com/site.fcgi/techlib/att/048791/1389/ContentServicesportal_integration.pdf
What I am interested in is to be able to have a portal access only what's available on the deployment server, without connecting back to TeamSite. From what I understand this could be done using the manifest file, maybe only through the com.interwoven.portals.* classes in iwsdk.jar ?

Thanks for the pointer. I'll see if I can find out any information about this from the developers...

Kjell, Fish,
The manifest files are being generated by the OOTB portal workflow, which includes OOTB DNR scripts and a chained deploy, like so:
1. Generate Content List
2. Deploy Content
3 (Generate manifest file)
4. Deploy manifest file
5. Munge manifest file with existing manifest file.
This is done for portal integrations (jetspeed, ibm) so that they can use the file metadata.

If you get your hands on the ContentServices 1.1 integration, it includes most of the source code for using the manifest file.
Of interest are the files in
com.interwoven.portals.jetspeed
and
com.interwoven.portals.content.

You will need to install the ContentServices developer pack and the Jetspeed Reference Implementation to get at these files and their javadocs.

Good luck,
