Still no (statement of) direction? No maps, of road or such? Trying to find your way? Maybe you have not noticed (and you would certainly not be alone) that the new WLP version has actual documentation also, with release notes galore? No wonder, as it is missing from the documentation index and from any search results. The way to get there is to go to the product page and click the unassuming documentation link. Of course, that’s where it’s supposed to be, right?
Anyhoo, here’s the list of new stuff and here’s the list of limitations and workarounds, they kindly also mention about the database issue when creating the domain using (the default) PointBase database (see 9224906). While there are a huge amount of things there to look at, one or two things you might want to take a look at. For example, Dynamic Visitor Tools (DVT) documentation link no longer talks about it being just a sample and not meant to be used in production, like in the previous versions where the documentation very specifically stated that point of view.
There is also an interesting Atom based REST API for accessing content, and while this seems to be tied to the Universal Content Management (UCM) / Stellent product, it is an fascinating direction to go to. One more thing is the Unified User Profile (UUP) REST API, which confusingly is not present in the REST API documentation, but you have to go digging for it in the User Management Guide. Still, it’s seems like a good API which allows for CRUD operations on the current user profile. Also, most of the updates are made using POSTs so you could use HTTPS for those (not that you would have too sensitive data in the user profiles, right?).
