I want to build a JavaEE GED application using alfresco and activiti Workflow engine which manages and monitors the mail of an organization (Letter, Fax, mail etc.). Since I am new with alfresco I want to know the best way to communicate with alfresco in my case : the use of CMIS or web scripts (I'm building a third-party application ) .

  • you have two solution to do something like this [Rest API](http://docs.alfresco.com/community/concepts/alfresco-sdk-tutorials-using-rest-api-explorer.html) and [Apache Chimestery](https://chemistry.apache.org/java/opencmis.html) tell me if you need more informations – Yagami Light Feb 27 '17 at 20:48
  • ok,thank you Mr Yagami just one question why you didn't advice me to just use web scripts – Wassim Makni Feb 27 '17 at 21:02
  • because in your case (using your technology) it will be better for you to use Apache Chimestery and i will help you to build such a thing like that – Yagami Light Feb 27 '17 at 22:10
  • I've done something like that (it's pretty the same) and i can give you advice about it and answer about so many question : i will wright an answer explaining why if you want – Yagami Light Feb 27 '17 at 22:15

I can suggest two solutions using Using the REST API or CMIS with a library like Apache Chemistry

Apache Chemistry is very well documented and you can find good pointers on the official website for pretty much any thing you would want to do !

If you want to get a session from your Alfresco Repository for example follow this post : How to retrieve 'repository root' id/children from CMIS repository?

Alternatively, you can find a lot of resources around for interacting with alfresco using REST (either the new REST API, or old restful endpoints). Check the platform integrations portal from the official docs, it would be a very good starting point.
