I want to create a thread interface that regularly queries a bespoke system. Depending on the response, workflow states and alfresco information is changed. I therefore need full access in Alfresco. I seem to get what I need using the FirstFoundation example. In practice this means running a seporate application alongside Alfresco. However, physically I dont need this seporation. Is there away to run threads in Alfresco context e.g a thread bean that is envoked in startup. Also, what is the overhead of having the two seporated ? (I guess this is a spring question)
Is there a preferred way to achive this in Alfresco ?
