The remote Collaboration API (com.plumtree.remote.prc.collaboration) provides programmatic access to many of the objects stored within AquaLogic Interaction (ALI) Collaboration. You can use this remote programming interface to embed collaborative components and functions into any Web application delivered through the ALI framework.
The PRC's remote SOAP-based interface to the ALI Collaboration system provides two key benefits:
Programmatic access to query, create, and modify Collaboration objects and data.
Ability to use collaboration components and data outside the constructs of ALI Collaboration (i.e., in portlets and applications).
The pages that follow provide additional information and detailed instructions on using the PRC Collaboration API.
Projects are the main unit of collaboration and serve as the container for all other collaboration objects. Using the collaboration API, you can query, create and modify collaboration projects, and manage security and subscriptions.
Tasks and Task Lists are used to manage scheduling and workflow. The collaboration API allows you to query, create, and modify tasks and task lists, as well as manage workflow and task dependencies.
Documents and Folders make up a large part of the content in many portals. The collaboration API provides full access to documents and folders, allowing you to query, create, or modify these objects.
Discussions facilitate communication between team members. The collaboration API allows you to manage discussions remotely and embed discussion functionality in your remote applications.
Security affects all aspects of collaboration. This page provides an in-depth explanation of security functionality in the collaboration API.
Collaboration Subscriptions provide users with e-mail notifications when an activity occurs, such as deleting a document or adding a discussion. You can subscribe users to a project, or to individual project components.
URLs to Collaboration Objects allows you to actively reference Collaboration components in your remote portlets and applications.
