I found a webinar "Why &amp; How to Embed Alfresco" that states Community edition cannot be embedded. Nevertheless I am not sure for which version this webinar is relevant to.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>2) Why I think that I need to embed Alfresco? </SPAN><BR /><SPAN>My intention to embed Alfresco Community Edition in an application is motivated by the willing to use directly JCR API calls from the application to Alfresco. Since I expect my Spring application to be collocated with the Alfresco Community Edition (embedding it) I think the best communication channel is using direct Java/JCR API calls?</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>I can see that there are some additional solutions like using Web Services (WS), but it seems to me WS is not appropriate for the scenario I am trying to create. Both the application and Alfresco are written in Java and both are collocated.</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Additionally, I want to use standard APIs and specifications (but not Alfresco specific ones) to communicate with Alfresco. Thus later when I add additional/different ECM I will be able to reuse my existing functionality.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Thank you in advance!</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Regards,</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Dobri</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Wed, 20 Apr 2011 14:14:09 GMT dkitipov 2011-04-20T14:14:09Z Is it possible to embed Alfresco Community Edition v3.4 https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/is-it-possible-to-embed-alfresco-community-edition-v3-4/m-p/255883#M209013 Hi everybody,What I am trying to research is:1) if it is possible to embed Alfresco Community Edition v3.4 into an existing application.

I thought this is only for test purposes and that I should download something like Alfresco for embedding or so to do a real one?</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Can you refer me to a documentation that gives some guidance how to embed Alfresco Community Edition (I will call it ACE) into an existing application? Should I use the artifacts from the SDK directly or I should download a dedicated version of&nbsp; ACE used for embedding.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Last. Do you recommend using CMIS instead of JCR?</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Thanks for your answers in advance. I am trying to evaluate Alfresco for a project.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Wed, 20 Apr 2011 15:04:42 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/is-it-possible-to-embed-alfresco-community-edition-v3-4/m-p/255885#M209015 dkitipov 2011-04-20T15:04:42Z
