Is it possible to access repository services from outside standard alfresco client ? I'm trying to access alfresco from another webapp (with tapestry), is it possible or should I use jcr-rmi from Jackrabbit ?
Of course it is possible, in your application, to use directly the native java API (see for example, the "repository" project in the alfresco-sdk). But we will include the Alfresco engine (in this case, you do not call a separate active server expect the DBMS).
