> Add a new Alfresco WebScript API Repository Connector
> -----------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: CONNECTORS-602
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONNECTORS-602
> Project: ManifoldCF
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Alfresco connector
> Affects Versions: ManifoldCF 1.0.1
> Reporter: Piergiorgio Lucidi
> Assignee: Piergiorgio Lucidi
> Fix For: ManifoldCF 1.2
>
> Original Estimate: 120h
> Remaining Estimate: 120h

> Taking a look at the Alfresco roadmap, it seems that during the next 18
> months the CML SOAP API will not be supported anymore:
> [http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Product_Roadmap#End-of-life_3]
> The history of this connector is not happy, during the first step I asked to
> some Alfresco guys about the life of the SOAP API and I was assured that it
> would not be finished.
> Anyway this is not the best API exposed by Alfresco, for many reasons
> developers should use the REST API as their first choice.
> The SOAP API was the only one API that allows to invoke Lucene queries
> without implementing new customizations/extensions on Alfresco.
> Now we have an official confirmation that the life of this SOAP API ends
> during the end of this year and the begin of the next one.
> My idea is to do a brainstorming with some Alfresco guys to understand
> together which APIs we should use to reimplement the connector.
> I would like to use the current HTTP services without installing nothing on
> the Alfresco side. But I have to check with them if this solution is feasible.
> I hope to have good news soon.
