Customizing XML Application Behavior with Java and Type based Business Objects (TBOs). Sometimes it's necessary to customize the operations supported by Documentum XML Applications to apply business logic and enforce object-specific business rules. Often this can be implemented only by developing additional code. This article discusses writing Java code that can be called from within an XML configuration file and implement a TBO to satisfy these needs. [EMC Documentum Developer Program - New Content]

Transformation Service (BOF 1.0 Service-based Object). This service provides an interface to apply an XSL stylesheet to an XML document.

In the example provided, the output is saved to an HTML file. UPDATED 31 March, 2005 [EMC Documentum Developer Program - New Content]

Documentum has announced that their new major release, 5.3, has shipped.

The most noteworthy bullets from the new release:

- Linux support across the stack
- Content Rendition Services re-architected and rolled up with other "transformation" products into Content Transformation Services
- Integration of eRoom into the Content Server including the ability to associate a discussion with any object
- Integration of records management retention policies into the core content server
- WDK usability changes (Note: They call them "enhancements" but I'll wait until I've seen them for myself before I use that word!)
