Hi,

using one of Alfrescos remote apis it will be possible to do what you what. The recommended API is the REST API for this. See /alfresco/service/index for
the available calls. I would not use an iframe approach, because of the UI drawbacks you mentioned. Using the API it will be easy to do transparent sign on etc. http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Web_Scripts#Authenticating.

java: Alfresco ships alfresco-remote-api.jar in its SDK.
