Communication between Arbortext and Web application

Iam using Arbortext Editor 5.3 since last few months. I got a requirement to enhance User interface with more features (ex: Shuttle component).

I've developed sample UI application using ADF(Application Developement Framework) as per our client requirement and is running on Weblogic server.

I just want to provide communication from Arbortext to web application. I need to pass some information back to Arbortext from web application.

It would be really helpful, if you can suggest on this.

Is there any way to provide communication with other systems?

Another thing, we have been starting Editor using batch files for a very
long time. If you are not already doing so, this might be the time to
start. Unfortunately, because we've been doing that for so long, I don't
remember whether and if so what about running two versions is eased by
using batch files. Just keep it in mind.

Also, if authors are likely to have both versions of Editor open at the
same time (as opposed to working for a day or a week in one version and
then switching to the other for a day or a week as projects switch in and
out of focus) then the other thing they will have to learn is that only the
first version of Editor started will receive edit or open commands from
Windows. That is, when an author double-clicks an XML file, that XML file
will open (or attempt to open) in the version of Editor that was started
first. Authors may need to be bothered by using File > Open or dragging and
dropping the XML onto the right version of Editor. Both Windows and your
content management system if you have one may also interact with this. We
are finding, for example, that a recent version of Documentum Webtop has
its own opinion of what applications should be given what filetypes and
seems to like Notepad for XML. Go figure.

Finally, it can be helpful in this case to add a (possibly non-functioning)
menu item indicating the environment. We do this for all of our
environments (mostly for my benefit, frankly, as most of our authors are
dedicated to a single environment) so I can verify that authors are finding
and reporting issues in the correct environment. It shows up in their
screen captures and I can ask them to find and read it if I'm supporting
them over the phone. Eventually they learn to recognize its absence as a
sign something didn't go right on startup.

Hi,

We have downloaded and installed Arbortext 6.0 from PTC site into local
machine. All the xmls are showing with arbortext icon. Seems to be, I am
reaching to target 🙂

Unfortunately, facing an issue while requesting license from PTC site.
Getting following error message while accessing License URL. Even I
raised a request with the help of contact us link. Some how, I didn't
get any response on this.

Without license, unable to open xml in Arbortext format. Can you help on
this.
