Which Documentum APIs should I use?

documentum

Solution

- WDK is for making websites.

- DMCL is an old api for communicating with Documentum, in last versions it's only present as an emulation layer, so it should be avoided.

- DFC is the preferred API to interact with Documentum, provides all functionality.

- DFS is for using Documentum from webservices.

- DQL is for querying, it's SQL-like.

DFC and WDK are Java, the others are probably usable from .Net

Problem

There seems to be a number of options for interfacing to Documentum; WDK, DMCL, DFC, DFS, DQL, etc. What else is there? When whould you use which interface? For .NET developers, for Java developers?
