


File are stored as LOB, indexed using
InterMedia
Automatic extraction of properties and
indexing of documents
Accessible using SMTP/IMAP4, SMB/CIFS,
HTTP (both file management and
administration)
Security based on the database,
ACLs can be used
Makes use of transactions, check-in/checkout, file versioning
API to extend iFS (from new content type
to renderer)
Beta 2 (C rewrite) was about to be
released (now out)

WebDB

WebDB version 3 seems to be
the version to go, manageability
has been increased:
– virtual users
– several applications in
one account
– authentication via LDAP (OID),
common for RDBMS+WebDB
– future release will store
documents in iFS
– “It’s not just for simple
applications anymore”

shares it repository with Designer
Several modelers : case, activity, type, component, package,
database designer
Several generators : instant Java, server model, server
generator, BC4J.
No merging with Designer
