Is it possible to "virtualize" a presentation tier that is not Alfresco based? I see in the sample application that you are able to publish the full WEB-INF directory so it looks like you could publish an entire web application onto a remote server.

Is there any documentation for how publishing works? BTW, when I try to preview the alfresco demo site, I get an empty page. Here it the URL that it is trying to serve: http://www-alfresco-com--staging.avm.127-0-0-1.ip.alfrescodemo.net:8180/ROOT/index.jsp

Absolutely! An Alfresco Web Project is can manage and virtualize any number of web apps - whether those are using Alfresco services or content or not. In the GA version (working source currently available for
download from our forge site), you'll actually be able to create / delete
web apps within a web project and virtualize even the most complex
of sites.

For deployment, we will be providing an integrated deployment engine
that will replicate assets either to a remote file-server (statically generated
site, non-Alfresco dependent web app) or an Alfresco run-time instance (which will auto-mount the deployed version of the website for all assets to be directly served from Alfresco in run-time - not just content, but also code).

At this point, if you're looking at digger deeper in repository capabilities and config options, I would recommend downloading and compiliing the latest source. There have been enough differences between the Preview and the pending GA codebase that unless you're doing a quick product tour, the Preview release is no longer the best option for you to be digging into.

Let me know if further questions.
