Parleys.com: Developing Enterprise Content Applications using Open-Source

Alfresco is the first open source enterprise content management system developed by the founder of Documentum and including core Java teams from Documentum and Interwoven. Alfresco is developed as a scalable, aspect-oriented repository developed using Spring, Hibernate, Lucene, jBPM, Chiba and MyFaces and supporting standards such as JSR-170, CIFS and WebDAV. Alfresco presents the first standards-based alternative to expensive commercial ECM platforms.

This presentation shows how typical enterprise content applications such as compliance extranets, specialist document management applications and intranet portals can be developed using open source software. The presentation covers how Java and JavaScript developers can extend the functionality of the content repository through aspect-oriented programming, build JSR-170 compliant applications that can scale to enterprise scope, build Xforms for capturing multi-channel web content, and build AJAX-enabled web applications. In addition, issues such as scalability, clustering, distribution and recovery will be addressed.
