Oracle Secure Enterprise Search Crawler Architecture

As the first step, Timothy studies the architecture of Oracle Secure Enterprise Search Crawler, before studying the architecture of Oracle Secure Enterprise Search Crawler plug-in.

Oracle Secure Enterprise Search provides uniform search capabilities over multiple repositories.Oracle SES uses a crawler to collect data from these sources. The crawler supports a number of built-in source types, such as Web, Table, File, Email, Mailing List, Lotus Notes, Database, MS Sharepoint, OracleAS Portal, HummingBird and so on, as well as a published, plug-in architecture for adding new types. Multiple Oracle SES instances may also share content through the federated source type.
