You can do this in different ways, for example you can extend Alfresco adding your own custom actions.
A custom action in Alfresco can be implemented in Java and you can add your Spring beans for reading contents from different sources and using the Alfresco API you can store/update contents in the repository using as a source an external database.
Using the ActionService you can execute the specific action. The ActionService is one of the services exposed by the Alfresco Foundation API.
Another possible solution is to implement a behavior related to specific contents that have an aspect. An aspect in Alfresco is a tag that allows you to decorate contents adding properties, associations and behaviors (Java trigger).
