There is a high demand for companies to publish and promote their content on the web. To accommodate this demand Alfresco has provided a number of solutions covering editorial to web tier. As an example of this demand Ixxus was commissioned by a leading business information publisher to produce a microsite for ‘teaser’ content to increase subscriptions of their main site. To deliver this Ixxus utilized a number of features provided by Alfresco, such as services like the Transfer Service, the web scripts framework, and Surf. The majority of these features now make up the mainstay of Alfresco’s Web Quick Start WCM solution. The goal of this session is to demonstrate a real world example of how the combination of Alfresco, Surf and CMIS offers a great platform for developers to produce content-rich websites quickly. The session will cover: Using Spring Roo to construct a Surf application, Benefits of using Spring Surf, Using the Transfer Service, OpenCMIS in Surf, Varnish your Surf application, and What’s next
