1 like141 views
This document discusses the integration of Alfresco and Liferay to enhance content publishing and document lifecycle management within digital experience platforms. The solution includes a Liferay portlet that provides logical views of the Alfresco repository, featuring document browsing, search, and CRUD operations via the CMIS API. Future developments are planned to expand capabilities including document previews and Alfresco share actions.
