Hi mrogers,
Thank you for your reply.

I am using CMIS end-points where it is possible. I think this part is great.

What I am missing is some guidelines on how to properly plug my own web services into alfresco war and use Java API. Could you please provide some links where I could find this information (at least where I could find that old deprecated soap API, so I can get a better understanding of what I really need to do)?

I am using maven AMP projects (both repository and share) for developing Alfresco extensions. Does that change anything? Can I incorporate new web services into these projects?
