I came across this site in alfresco discussing publish/subscribe notifications within alfresco and was wondering if there were any progress on it or someone had created an add-on
Only type of notification I've read thus far from the wiki or forums is email or using rss feeds. The CMIS specifications does not encompass this and afresco web services does not include any such methods.
We have several web applications that need to download content once a document has been uploaded and transformed in alfresco. I could develop an action to push the documents to the appropriate app, but that would require me to know every endpoint. At this point there are only 3 application but there are requirements to add additional ones in the future. Having a publisher/subscriber model would make the solution more scalable and easy maintenance in the future
This question was also asked on stackoverflow. I saw it there first, so you might go take a look. In a nutshell I'm suggesting you use a custom action to add a message to a queue.
