Resolving the problem
The WCM API provides methods which allow copying content items between WCM content libraries.
Example algorithm to copy content between WCM libraries
1. First get the user workspace.
2. Next get the source and target document libraries.
3. Set the source document library to be your current document library.
4. Build the site document iterator.
5. Get the site document id.
6. Copy the site using the copyToLibrary method. (note: This method copies non-hierarchical or root items to another library.)
7. Get the new site document id.
8. Build the sitearea document iterator.
9. Get the sitearea document id.
10. Copy the sitearea using the copySiteFrameworkDocument method. (note: This method copies hierarchical items (SiteArea, Content, or ContentLink) to another library.)
11. Get the new sitearea document id.
12. Build the content document iterator.
13. Get the content document id.
14. Copy the content using the copySiteFrameworkDocument method. (note: This method copies hierarchical items (SiteArea, Content, or ContentLink) to another library.)
15. Get the new content document id.
** Note:** This example assumes the content item and associated parents (site/sitearea) do not already exist in target library.
Example code to sites, site areas, and content items between WCM libraries
//define variables
DocumentLibrary sourceDocLib = null;
DocumentLibrary targetDocLib = null;
DocumentLibrary currentDocLib = null;

Content currentContent = null;
Document newSiteDoc = null;
DocumentId newSiteDocId = null;
Document newSiteAreaDoc = null;
DocumentId newSiteAreaDocId = null;
Document newContentDoc = null;
DocumentId newContentDocId = null;
//set the content library variables
sourceDocLib = ws.getDocumentLibrary("SupportLib");
targetDocLib = ws.getDocumentLibrary("TargetLib");
//standard out log message
System.out.println("Log: The source document library name: "
+ sourceDocLib.getName());
System.out.println("Log: The target document library name: "
+ targetDocLib.getName());
//set the current content library to the source library
ws.setCurrentDocumentLibrary(sourceDocLib);
//get the current content library
currentDocLib = ws.getCurrentDocumentLibrary();
//standard out log message
System.out.println("Log: The current document library name: "
+ currentDocLib.getName());
