Remote Inline Editing

I believe that this may be a very obvious question, but I have not been able to make heads or tails of any documentation that seems to want to support my issue.

I have a spring/webflows/mvc app that I would like to render documents from Alfresco in. I also would like to allow users to do transparent editing of the content inline on the page. The documents in question are all very simple and just basic html. I think I could find a relatively easy way to do that using custom code against the remote or web services apis but I feel like there should be some easy way to reuse the alfresco edit-html-inline.jsp remotely (without resorting to iframes or some such).

Basically, at the end of the day, I just want to either display the content or the content with an "edit" button which then (ignoring error cases for now): 1) checks out the doc from Alfresco; 2) renders it in tinymce; 3) checks it in to alfresco (after "save") all from a webapp sitting on a different server from Alfresco.

Does anyone have any ideas (or am I in the wrong component/forum) about how I can accomplish this simply?

We are having a similar problem.  Does anyone have any experience or tips on how to let users remotely edit html content in a Spring application?

I still have not discovered an easy way to do this. Is this a stupid question? Right now I have built a tinymce editor page and am posting back the results through alfresco web services (but may switch to rest).

That's the way I'd do it - via REST. In fact, it's pretty much exactly the wiki/blog pages of Share; so that's how we did do it!

Thanks,
