Hello,
With Alfresco WCM, you have the freedom to create any kind of web site within a web project. You can literally just drop in a WAR file if you'd like. Alfresco provides SVN-like interaction with your web projects via several interfaces including CIFS, FTP, HTTP and increasingly, REST.
WSF is a "quick-start" project created by the community. If you don't already have a web site or know how to build one, WSF provides a pattern that you might follow to get started. It is not a recommended pattern, per se. It's just one of many that you might elect to use.
In late October, Alfresco will provide Web Studio to the community which will give users a web site creation tool. This is intended for users who really want to get something up quickly with little or no coding. It will provide a relatively lightweight site that users Alfresco Surf on the back end.
We'll add more bells and whistles to Web Studio as time goes on to allow users to build more powerful sites over time. But I imagine out of the gate it will probably address some of your needs.

Hi There I've spent the past couple of days setting up and configuring Alfresco, it's got some great out of the box features and is incredibly quick to get up and running with.
That said there are some fairly big grey areas for me, the most important question is how to use WCM to my advantage.
Having followed the examples in the Getting Started Guide I imported the sample site.
I've also created some extra web forms supplied with WCM, namely the article and profile samples and have created content from these successfully.
From what I can gather, I can deploy this web project to a File System Receiver like an Apache docroot, then I'd have a flat site updated via the WCM, nice and simple, although not very dynamic, I'm just pushing content and there's little provision for pages like an index of content (a news listing page), maybe I'm missing something obvious, it's only been a couple of days research…
Then for dynamic stuff there's web scripts, I could have another java or any other flavour application calling web scripts and processing the response from the script service. This addresses the dynamic page problem nicely (although I am having trouble querying the content I've created - probably user error here but any info would be a help).
What I can't really find is the commonality of these two approaches, maybe I just need someone to tell me how they do it, I have looked through the relevant section on these forums but to no avail. My current thinking is I still need to develop a java app to interact with web scripts and produce the dynamic parts of the site, and publish the rest via FSR deployment.
Can anyone tell me if I'm anywhere near right on this or am I missing something crucial?
Cheers
Steve

Hi,
I think you can use webscripts to do everything you mentioned here. You may check
http://forge.alfresco.com/frs/?group_id=142&release_id=268 and download opsoro.zip.
Extract opsoro_WebApp.zip and add opsoro folder to your webapps folder and update your
alfresco with opsoro_AMP.amp, I think this should fit your requirement.

http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Alfresco_Dynamic_Website_Installation for dynamic web site installation.
There they mention to download adw.amp and websitetools.amp files. But i am not getting adw.amp file instead i got websitetools.amp and wcm.site.alfresco.amp file. from Where should I get awd.amp file?
