Alfresco Services

[sysarch]

I'm not a programmer so please bear with me in regard to this question.  How difficult would it be, utilizing the Alfresco web service, to provide queries on the respository from document content and metadata, for parsing and display in a user exposed web site?  I'm particularly interested in having a limited group entering documentation into the Alfresco web client and CIFS share, but having the pre-defined searches on content and categorization integrated into our other web sites at different points.

This is a very old thread, but in case it helps someone else, you can definitely query the repository from other web apps. The preferred way to do this these days is to use CMIS. There are CMIS client API's for several languages. You can start by looking at the Apache Chemistry project. If one doesn't suit your needs you can always build your own client-side classes that invoke CMIS via either Web Services or Atom Pub.
