alfresco connect company database external

1. External database interface - Does Alfresco use point and click integration or is programming required to connect to the DB?
2. Can we use a 3rd party library like Google's zxi开发者_开发技巧ng barcode reader to integrate with Alfresco?

1. What do you mean by external database interface? If we're talking about using external databases, then it's just a matter of configuration.

2. It's generally not a problem to integrate 3rd party libraries. You just have to decide how to do that, e.g. using a custom Java backed web script or a custom action.

1. No point and click integration. It's build on Java, so you can write a custom Java class. The java class can be run scheduled, via a webscript, via workflow.
2. Of course, it's open source and fully build on Java, so integrate any 3d party solution into it. But you need to write everything yourself.

already exists a component for Alfresco Share which allow feature #1 with "zero code", in easy and flexible way. Is available in Alfresco Addons http://addons.alfresco.com/addons/alfresco-metadbconnector-component. Developed and maintained by VenziaIT (http://venzia.es). We hope this help to the community.
