Embedding Alfresco in another web application

[enrico_it]

Hello,

I need to embed the alfresco core and services in another web application, completely different from the Alfresco Web Application.
This web application will use another version of Spring, Hibernate, Web Container and related technologies.
Do you think that this is possible? I have downloaded the SDK, and there are a lot of jar as dependencies.
What is the minimum set of dependencies to include?
Thank you very much for any tip.

Best regards,
Enrico

The alfresco core is fairly large and as you have seen the list of dependencies is long.     Alfresco can and has been embedded but its not as easy as it should be.

You might be better off writing your new application to use alfresco remotely.    The recommended approach is to use Web Scripts, although there's a bunch of other remote APIs available as well.

Aren't the web scripts availables only from the version 3?
Thank for your reply.

Web Scripts are available from Alfresco 2.1 onwards.

You may also like to look at the other remote APIs for older versions of Alfresco.
