Four application integration filters come standard with XperienCentral:

• The WMInclude filter retrieves the content of an external web application.
• The WMReplacementsFilter executes a series of replacements in the content that the WMInclude filter has retrieved. These replacements strip away unnecessary HTML and convert other HTML so that it can be rendered in the XperienCentral front-end in your design template.
• The XSLFilter converts XML into HTML.
• Using the IncludeFileFilter, content from a file on disk can be displayed.

See Filters for complete information about the filters that can used in an external application integration.
