Summary
Alfresco provides highly extensible architecture. It is easy to configure and extend the system. Alfresco provides an extension file, alfresco-global.properties, which is used to modify any configuration properties. There are extension directories, where the configuration XML files are placed to extend it.
Important components in Alfresco are embedded as different subsystems. Subsystems can also be extended by changing property files or via JMX.
In this chapter, we also learned about the important properties and files for the entire subsystem and repository configuration.
The next chapter will cover details about administration in Alfresco and Share. It will cover details about the Alfresco admin console and the workflow console.
