Add a Content Item

As an administrator, you can add a new content item to the content management repository.

Note: When adding content to BEA's Virtual Content Repository, whether you are using the WebLogic Administration Portal Content Management tools or the Bulkloader, make sure you store your content for upload in a directory outside of the portal application if you deploy your application as an .ear file.
