Modify SharePoint 2010 document library using Java

Question

In my SharePoint site, there are several document libraries, each assigned to a different group of people. Users need to transfer files between them often, and my boss wants a faster way than copy/pasting the files into another library then deleting the original, and he doesn't want anyone having direct access to the document hierarchy.

Someone had the idea to run Java code that would automatically transfer documents from one library to another, using inputs from a pop-up for the source and destination. Can Java code be stored on a SharePoint server and be executed by a user action?

Answer 1

Java code can not be used SharePoint directly. What you can try is using C# or VB.Net through which actions can be executed on SharePoint using object model of SharePoint.

Another option is using web services
