Support for external applications was removed from XperienCentral in version R29.3. |
The XperienCentral Integration API (Application Programming Interface) is intended to integrate external systems with XperienCentral. This section describes and illustrates the Integration APIs’ possibilities. A CMS is typically part of an elaborate IT architecture. This architecture consists of various backend and administrative systems in an intranet or extranet. In this type of situation, the CMS is used to present information from the organization to the outside world. Besides information contained in the CMS, this can also be information from existing backend systems and/or third-party systems. XperienCentral offers the Application integration module which allows the integration of external web applications in the CMS. The design of these applications can be adapted to the design used in XperienCentral.

This type of customization requires surprisingly little knowledge about the implementation of XperienCentral because all complicated tasks, such as recalling components or processing parameters and other configurations, are taken care of by XperienCentral. A junior Java programmer should be able to create customized components based on the integration API using the examples in this section and some training on how to use XperienCentral.
