UI Building Blocks

The Responsive Header Footer provides HP.com customers with a single worldwide architecture and navigation system. By creating the navigation as a web service, HP is able to centrally manage and easily change the navigation model by country whenever new product lines are launched or retired from the product mix.

Technical Hightlights

• RESTful web service and framework for exposing Tridion Content As A Service (CaaS)
• Powered by JAX-RS – Jersey implementation on top of the DCP 2.0 and CWA
• Global Navigation – Consitent worldwide site architecture and navigation system
• Multiple output formats such as XHTML, XML, JSON, JSON-P are supported
• Automated content and style updates using 'latest' URL implementation

The Header and Footer web service can be integrated on both the server-side and client-side. The choice depends on the technology used to produce the page. Server-side integration is preferred because that type of technology – such as JSP, ASP, or similar – gives performance benefits and more room for improvement.
