Alfred Inflow is used to upload files and their metadata to Alfresco.
How files and their metadata are delivered, depends on the scenario and
the options are limitless.
To be able to support these limitless input formats, Alfred Inflow
allows extensions points that are called ‘metadata actions’. These
metadata actions are Java classes that process incoming sets of files
into files with metadata that will be stored in Alfresco.
This guide will cover the principles of a metadata action based on a basic example.
