There is a filesystem API which you could implement to talk to a=20
database.  You could also pull in data from Web Services, which might=20
be backed by RDBMS.  HyperContent 2.0 will allow you to mount multiple=20=

repositories per project, making it easier to talk to multiple sources=20=

of information in a single project.

Under HyperContent 1.4, the current release, you cannot publish=20
directly to a portal channel: you can publish HTML, XHTML or XML to an=20=

intermediate site, and then publish that content into the portal using=20=

the appropriate channel type in uPortal.  HyperContent 2.0 will be=20
decoupled from uPortal, and will eventually support management of WSRP=20=

portlets which could be discovered by uPortal using UDDI.
