Hello,I develop an J2EE application. This application has its own business.This application can call Alfresco Repository (use of all needed repository services access via JARs).

There are lots of caching issues you are going to fall foul of with your current approach.

You will probably need to cluster your two instances of alfresco. And I'm not sure if shared indexes are supported yet, so you may also need to have two separate index instances.

It would be much better for your J2EE app to use one of Alfresco's remote interfaces rather than trying to run a separate local instance of alfresco.

Thanks you…
Concerning the index, I prefer to don't use a double shared instance.
The target of the Alfresco Web interface instance is to have an administrative tool. Any change by this interface must be detected (in the same time !!) by my J2EE application !
I will continu to search informations concerning the 'cache' issue…

It is strange that nobody else worked with this type of architecture.
For example, a lot of J2EE application dealing with Alfresco (via JCR repository), to the same repository, because all J2EE application must be aware about all data, in the same time…
