Hi,
which way do you want to access the alfresco repository? If you're in the same java vm process, you could directly use the alfresco Foundation services API (a plain java api based on the alfresco spring service beans like nodeService and contentService).
If your aren't in the same java vm process you should use the WebServices API (SOAP) or the more lightweight WebScript API (RESTful Services) instead.
Use this page at your starting point: http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Developer_Guide
and perhaps take a look at jeff potts famous developer article series: http://ecmarchitect.com/alfresco-developer-series
