Tutorial #004: Bloomreach XM Built-in Development Tools

We're going to have a look at the web apps that come with a Bloomreach XM instance.

When starting your Bloomreach XM instance you can find a number of web applications running at different paths on the Tomcat webserver started on port 8080 by default:

• http://localhost:8008/cms -- the main CMS where you will define your Document Types
• http://localhost:8008/cms/console -- a view of the JCR (Java Content Repository) tree structure that underpins the storage of documents.
• http://localhost:8080/cms/repository -- a 90s looking interface that lets you do a few things the console doesn't cater for, like simple queries and UUID lookup. 
• http://localhost:8080/essentials -- the Bloomreach plugin framework.
