Documentum announced that the company’s Web Development Kit (WDK) now runs on BEA WebLogic. Companies with existing investments in both technologies can deploy new content-rich Web applications and dynamic content management services with a lower total cost of ownership. Documentum WDK consists of a development environment and nearly 60 pre-built, reusable components that incorporate the most common Documentum functions. WDK-based applications are J2EE compliant, which allows them to be deployed alongside or integrated with any application built on the J2EE platform.

This out-of-the-box integration connects BEA WebLogic Personalization Server and Documentum 4i WCM Edition. www.documentum.com.
