Search implementation WCM

tara_b — Tue, 04 May 2010 02:15:43 GMT

Hello,I am implementing a web application using Alfreso WCM Enterprise 3.2 to author content. My question is about the best way to implement a search feature for the web application. I've used the Search API before to implement a search on the Document Repository via Web Scripts it worked very well.

You can deploy content to a live AVM store which is searchable.
In 3.2 this is what the "avm" deployment target is for. You may also find documentation on "ASRs".

Going forward in 3.3, although the ASR approach will still work, and you are still able to do whatever fits best for your requirements and architecture, alfresco will be recommend deploying to a DM repository and then use the CMIS API to access your WCM content.

Thanks for your reply.

I have a single Alfresco instance; the same box that authors content will be used by the search feature. The wiki page on AVM Deployment Targets says that ASR can be used to deploy to the local server as well as remotely http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/AVM_Deployment_Target so thats good news for me.

I also need to move web app files from Alfresco to the web server, so I will set up a both an ASR and FSR for the web project.

Thanks for your help
