Interwoven CMS to AEM CMS

[rish_roy]

Hi All,

I am new to AEM CMS and currently working in Interwoven Teamsite CMS. I just want to know like in Interwoven CMS we can create content template (dct) and using presentation template (xslt) we can generate o/p file like : html, xml, json etc and deploy these files using worklfow. 

Can we do something like this in AEM ? As I want I have seen till now is we can create template for page in which we can consume components as we do in Interwoven Sitepublisher.

Please let me know if more information is required.

thanks

Hi Rish,

The way Interwoven and AEM works is different. 

However, all the node structure would be represented by an XML. If you import the project on and IDE like eclipse or IntelliJ you will see the components and templates are represented as XML. So technically speaking you can do it but thats not the usual way of working with AEM.

Thanks for Response Lokesh,

There are few queries I have for AEM if you can help me with that :

1. Right now in Interwoven we can create content template form where user fills the form and generate the output file as required like : html or xml or json etc using formpublisher , do we have something like this in AEM or we can only create template/components for sites as we do in Interwoven Sitepublisher ?

2. We can only create website using AEM as we do using Interwoven SitePublisher or we have something like Interwoven formpublisher like functionality in AEM ?

3. I know AEM is complete java, any chance of supporting .net ?

thanks

KS:- Please have a look at this documentation to show you how easy it is to create a website in AEM

KS:- No, it is not possible directly. Using AEM as a back end and a .NET app as the client is really the only way you can use .NET and AEM. A .NET app can modify the AEM JCR using Restful requests. OR AEM can call REST APIs created in .net. But creation of custom services/Component in AEM can only be done by JAVA. 

See this community article: http://scottsdigitalcommunity.blogspot.ca/2013/06/submitting-data-to-adobe-cq-jcr-using.html. We have had other community members ask how to do this task. 

I hope this would help you.
