Integrating Content and Search Results with SharePoint
How we built a SharePoint Connector for Confluence - Part 1

Have you ever needed to integrate an external system with SharePoint, showing content from each system within the other? What if you needed to integrate search between SharePoint and an external system?

How do you keep the user experience seamless if the systems use different authentication mechanisms? Have you wondered if this can be done if the external system is written in Java? If you answered "yes" then read on. Along the way you'll learn some of the internals of SharePoint 2007 Web parts, Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) 2007 enterprise search, and Microsoft Single Sign-on (SSO). This two-part article discusses how three developers integrated Microsoft Office Share Point Server (MOSS) 2007 with Confluence1, an enterprise wiki, in about two months time. It discusses the work behind implementing the features2 for the SharePoint Connector for Confluence3 as shown in Figure 1. Part 1 of this article covers content embedding and Part 2 covers integrated search along with single sign-on.
