Further reading and resources

We present here a list of resources that may be interesting to integrators who need to learn more about various subjects.

In you’re interested in integrating with portlets, as Jahia natively supports them, we recommend you read our Portlet Guide.

The REST API is a very powerful technology to integrate either on forms as presented in this document, or to work with external applications such as native mobile applications, or to integrate dynamically with external systems. You can find out more about the REST API in both our Technical Overview as well as the REST API documentation.

If you’re interested in multi-channel rendering, especially for mobile devices, we recommend you read our Multi-Channel Rendering guide.

For Jahia customers only, interested in advanced configuration, such as support for application servers like Weblogic or Websphere, LDAP integration and looking for tips on how to achieve high performance, we also have a Configuration and Fine Tuning guide available. Please contact us at sales@jahia.com if you’re not yet a customer, or if you are, you may find the guide in the Customers Extranet documentation section.

You can find a lot more documentation, especially end-users guide, available in our community documentation section. Make sure you check out the JahiaPedia section carefully, as there are a lot of technical documents there, and there is a good chance you will find what you need in there.

If you need help, you can either purchase commercial support or use our community forum.

If you want to learn more about Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), as they are used throughout this document and a recommend best practice for Jahia layouts, you may find the specification and many more resources here:http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/

In order to build template sets or modules in general, you might also be interested in learning more about Maven. You may find the official website here: http://maven.apache.org/
