There are several ways available to integrate content from UCM in Web Applications. The best known one is probably through the WebCenter Document Services (taskflows that can directly be embedded in ADF weg pages), using the Content Repository connection and Data Control. This approach requires a WebCenter License. Another ways is purely programmatic, through the RIDC API. This way is demonstrated by Andrejus in his article http://andrejusb.blogspot.com/2010/12/oracle-ucm-11g-remote-intradoc-client.html. The RIDC way requires a little more work to integrate into the web application. The RIDC API is also available through web services.

Another way that is based on the Open WCM tags makes it very to integrate content in web pages – an not just the content itself: also the functionality to edit the content from within the context of the run-time web pages.

This article describes how to use the Open WCM tags to embed resources that are maintained in the UCM Content Server in ADF Faces applications.
