The system consists of a Confluence server and an Alfresco server that talk to each other though remote web script calls.
Confluence plugins consist of java classes, which can authenticate with and further leverage and manipulate content within an Alfresco repository by calling remote webscripts housed within the repository.
Http requests get handled by the Java plugin, which makes web script calls to the web scripts in Alfresco that handle those calls. Those http calls are used to:
- Get list of files attached to a confluence page
- Attach files through Confluence UI and upload it into Alfresco
- Delete files from Alfresco
- Download files from Alfresco
