Content Center Java Tag Library Details?

Bill Klish

TeamSite 6.1 SP1
Windows 2003
Solaris 2.8

We have written some custom Java components to extend the content center web application. Aside from us digging through the Interwoven JSPs located underneath iw-home/httpd/webapps/content_center to see what Tag libraries are used to assemble the pages, are there java docs available on the classes behind the tag libraries? We are trying to ensure that our extensions appear to be part of the interface and will continue to look that way with any future upgrades.

Does this exist, or is opening up all of the JSP pages the best way to find the information out?

Interwoven does not expose or support our tag libraries for customer use at this time. If it's of any comfort, we recognize this need and are working on a supportable solution (don't have a delivery time frame yet). In the meantime, I encourage you to NOT use our internal tag libraries because they definitely WILL CHANGE from release to release (even service packs).

As a developer, hopefully you appreciate that exposing a 1st generation design as a public interface is risky because you are beholden to support it for a long time. We felt that it would be extremely risky to expose the tag libs that we developed for TeamSite 6 without getting a chance to refine the design and refactor the interfaces.
