Enhancements in Web Content Management (WCM) as part of WebSphere Portal 6

Web content management (WCM) has been enhanced to a great extent with WPS 6.0. A snapshot of its new and enhanced features is as given below.

• The concept of web content libraries has been introduced. These libraries could contain the content or any other technical assets.
• Enhanced Templating with extended features of defining basic validation and help text.
• In-line Edit that would allow the user to edit the WCM content via the rendering portlet without any need to switch to Web Content Management user interface.
• Search is very well integrated with WCM content
• Custom Launch Page can be used to manage the templates.
• The organization of web content structure has undergone a massive change.

As seen above, most of the new features and enhancements are more towards the administration and management of the content and the technical assets.
