IBM FileNet P8, Version 5.2.1            

Compatibility Layer for the 3.5.x Content Java API

The Content Java API compatibility layer is a client-side API that allows you to maintain applications written using the 3.5.x Content Java API. The compatibility layer is designed to maximize support for the Content Java 3.5.x API. However, in a few cases, platform technologies diverged too greatly for an interface to be supported.

Beginning in the 5.0.0 release, the Content Java API Compatibility Layer is deprecated and support will be removed in a future release.

Installation
The Content Java API is provided only as a compatibility layer to support preexisting applications, and can be installed during Content Engine installation. While it is possible to install the compatibility layer anywhere, including a non-Content Engine system, the compatibility layer does require the 4.x Content Engine Java API.
Documentation
Documentation for the compatibility layer is only available as part of a .zip file (named FileNet® P8 Compatibility Layers for Content Engine APIs Help) on the IBM Information Management support page on www.ibm.com. You can download this .zip file from the IBM® FileNet P8 Platform publication library. The documentation consists of reference help (Javadocs) updated to reflect the compatibility layer, as well as the existing 3.5.x Developer's Guide (not updated for 4.x). For information on upgrading a 3.5.x Content Java API application to run in a 4.x environment, see the Content Java API upgrade information in the V4.5.1 documentation.
