What Is Content Engine Web Services (cews)?

Answer»

Communication with FileNet Content Engine (CE) can occur through the EJB transport or Content Engine Web Services (CEWS) transport.

Web services are commonly used by loosely coupled frameworks like service-oriented architecture for CONNECTING components. IBM FileNet Content Manager provides CEWS for accessing NEARLY all features available in the CE server.

A Web Services Description Language (WSDL) file is provided by FileNet to use a Web services interface. CEWS clients (stub classes) can be generated from these WSDL files.

As of release 4.5.0, CE supports three Web services endpoints. The difference is in their handling of content attachments. The SOAP endpoint (FNCEWS40SOAP) uses inline content and carries significant performance costs. It should therefore be AVOIDED. SUPPORT for the Direct Internet Message Encapsulation (DIME) endpoint (FNCEWS40DIME) is documented as deprecated and will eventually be removed. Therefore, all new code should be written for the Message Transmission OPTIMIZATION Mechanism (MTOM) endpoint (FNCEWS40MTOM), and existing DIME code should be migrated to MTOM as soon as possible.
