Can Alfresco be used for content pushing, ie. having is content exported and served by a independant web server.

Yes definitely. Alfresco supports INBOUND, UPDATE and OUTBOUND rule triggers, which means that you can execute actions when those triggers occur on a document/folder. The actions can do all sorts of things such as move/copy items to a another folder (which could be shared on a webserver using the CIFS interface) or execute a script. Alfresco has FTP support also, so you could use rules to copy/move items to a folder that you have set a cron job or similar to FTP files out of a specific folder and so on.

Thanks,

Kevin

Thank you for your reply. Can you point me to articles/documents describing how this can be done?
