Hi all,
In our organization we are facing the needle to make automatic checkout/checkin on client machines, that is: the client clicks a link which downloads a document which is opened by the default editor ( i.e ms word ). Then when the edition is done, and the client program ( ms word ) closed, the content is checked in automatically on the repository. The only solution we've arrived to is to use a java web start client which wraps the ms-word edition phase and communicates to the repository via web-services. Due to the fact that alfresco is on the back end and only accesible from the front-end, we should at the same time create a web-service in the front to get the java web start component requests. So we need to develop a JWS component and a Web-service.. which is too much since i'm very lazy!
so..
Has someone faced this situation ? Has anyone a better and less error-prone idea to resolve this ?
Thanks.
