18.2 Simple Example for Automatic Property Extraction

Let us take a simple example to understand how Automatic Property Extraction can be used in Documentum. We will see how an XML Application is created, how it is attached to the content file, and eventually how it works.

1. 1. Refer to figure 18.2; create and import a template in Web Publisher (say First_XMLApp_Template.xml) and attach it to dm_document object type with Default Lifecycle.

   Figure 18.2: Creating template file for our first XML Application

   Following is the Template file First_XMLApp_Template.xml:

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
   <ROOTTAG>
   <TITLEOFPAGE/>
   <SHORTDESC/>
   </ROOTTAG>
   

2. 2. Create a Rules file (say First_XMLApp_TemplateRule.xml) for the template and associate the Template file with this Rules file. Following is the Rules file First_XMLApp_TemplateRule.xml:

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
   <rules>
   <tagcontent tag_name="TITLEOFPAGE">
   <textline charlength="200"...
