Could you list some advantages of using this XML Connector Framework?

 

 

 

 

Oh, sure. Using this connector to crawl a repository provides the following benefits:

  • Easier Integration : Any repository can be integrated with SES without developing a specific SES connector for the repository. The repository has to only project its contents to be crawled and indexed in the form of a XML document conforming to a specific schema provided by SES.
  • Repository Transparency : The connector can be transparent to any changes to the repository as long as the XML interface conforms to the schema provided by SES.
  • Connector Upgrade : The connector can evolve independent of the repositories. Using this connector to crawl repositories will assure that the benefits of enhancements in the connector are delivered to all repository crawls.
