Black Ice Software's latest release of the IceViewer includes a new feature called the Content Engine. The Content Engine helps Developers and System Administrators integrate the IceViewer into their application and connect the IceViewer to their preferred document management system with ease.

The Content Engine is the new heart of the IceViewer. The Content Engine serves every request that requires opening or saving a document. If you open, upload, or save documents, the IceViewer Content Engine will handle the work for you.

The IceViewer can be configured with multiple Content Engines. Every engine serves a type of storage or document management system, providing endless possibilities for Developers and System Integrators to create their engines and connect to any document management system, no matter how customized it is.

The IceViewer has two built-in Content-Engines, FileEngine and DatabaseEngine.

• The FileEngine allows users to open documents stored on the local disk, such as folders or shared network locations.
• The DatabaseEngine allows users to pull documents from a database, which means the documents will never be saved to the local hard drive.

The IceViewer Content Engine also includes Events. The Events allow Developers and System Administrators to subscribe to a set of events for audit purposes, such as seeing if a document was accessed or modified. The Content Engine can issue Events when a document is Accessed, Saved, Printed, Downloaded, Uploaded, or Deleted.
