Extending product function by using the Engineering Publishing Java API
IBM Engineering Lifecycle Optimization - Publishing (PUB) provides an API to the Engineering Publishing Core, which the client applications also use to publish documents.
The PUB
Java™ API can be used to create or load document specifications
and to execute them locally or remotely.
Note: The PUB packages
that expose these APIs also expose other APIs such as the one used by the Document Studio
application for creating and editing templates. Those APIs are not meant for public usage and must
not be used. Do not use classes from the com.ibm.rational.rpe.template
package.
Using PUB through
the Java API does not require a PUB
installation, but the API can be made to use a PUB
installation.
Tip: Make applications based on the PUB
Java API self-contained, so that changes to the PUB
installation, such as uninstall or upgrade, on the same computer do not affect your
application.
