How does Alfresco Explorer communicate with Alfresco?

Hi!

I need to know what is the primary API used in Alfresco at basic levels. I found out that the native Alfresco Explorer does everything ok, unlike some wrappers that are overwhelm with bugs and unusable features, and would like to use the same patterns and only then integrate it within another programming platform.

I'm guessing it's got something to do with REST.

Hi,

Alfresco is a stable product. 🙂
With alfresco you can reduce your expenses 🙂

Alfresco explorer uses the JSF as the frontend along with Spring and Hibernate/iBatis.

We can integrate alfresco with other systems using
1. WebScripts
2. CMIS


Thanks,

Back to the original question.  Alfresco explorer is a JSF application that uses the Alfresco Java API, also known as the "fundamental api".
