Interact with DB in alfresco?

As we transition to the new Hyland Community, some post links may be temporarily disrupted as we finalize redirects. We apologize for the inconvenience and are working to resolve this as quickly as possible. Details.

I have a mysqldb with 5 different fields I suppose I have to make a query using value selected from the authority(retrieve the values from database using springsmvc(alfresco api"s)). How can I get this value to make the query? Have you any example (like html.ftl file)?

Based on our IRC conversation, you want to pull metadata from an external database.

There is an add-on that does this:

http://addons.alfresco.com/addons/alfresco-metadbconnector-component

It is contributed by a community developer, and Alfresco does not support it. But the entry in the add-ons directory suggests that you can get support from them if you need it.
