Serving content through URL

Bhupi

Hi All,

I am fairly new to TeamSite (ahh!! another one) and I am thinking of using TeamSite to serve content using URLs (HTTP/S).

Requirement is to use TeamSite as a content repository to manage content such as property files, images, html fragments, etc. These content items are to be fetched as individual items. Actually, these are fetched by a web server and then within webserver actual web page is built using these content items (and a lot of other stuff). So, no web page building capabilities of TeamSite are required.
Webserver is going to fetch these content items by some identifier (call it as content id which gives the complete location of a content item) in the URL over HTTP.
TeamSite is going to be used to manage the content and serve it to web server. No web pages will be built in TeamSite.

Question:
Can this be done using TeamSite alone?
Do we require any TeamSite plugin like LiveSite, etc. to accomplish this?
How easy difficult it is? and is it recommended to use TeamSite this way?

Happy to add more details if required.

Cheers

Formally, the answers to your questions are:

Yes
No
Not very hard, details depend on the fetching mechanism you want to implement.
So called "TS Content Services" can support most of traditional approaches.

On more generic level though, it looks like you do not really need TS - at all.
(unless of course there are other requirements/constraints that you have not mentioned)
