- A external System put periodically two related documents on the CIFS folder: the one document contains a few properties (key/value)-pairs like a java property file or   .ini file under Windows and these properties correspond to the properties of the custom content model i have deployed previously , whreas the other document is a PDF file.

Now, i want to extract the value of each property from the first document and add them to the related (custom content model)-property of the second (PDF) file each time a pair of documents (metada file and related PDF) is entered the CIFS folder. After a PDF document has all required properties set, the related metadata document must be delete automaticaly from the CIFS Folder.

which Alfresco API or mechanism is the best  for such scenario (actions behaviors …?). the actions must run in background

any one can help me please. is urgent.

thanks.

I've done something similar with an XML instead.

I think you should make an action:

An action that executed on a PDF custom type node checks if there is a "ini" file corresponding to the PDF (for example you could use the same name for both the PDF and the INI) and if so it parses it and updates the values of the PDF. After that it should delete the INI file.

Then in the folder use rules:
1- When PDF comes in specialise to custom type
2- When custom type comes in execute the action

The only "caveat" is that you must put the INI file before the PDF in order for this to work.
