With the following assumption judging your question, yes its possible.

Assumption : You are building a Java EE application and you want to integrate Alfresco functionalities through your custom built Java EE application.

There are two ways of doing this,

  1. Use Apache's Chemistry which connects to Alfresco through CMIS services (Refer: http://chemistry.apache.org/java/opencmis.html).
  2. Using Alfresco's very own REST API's (refer: http://docs.alfresco.com/community/pra/1/topics/pra-welcome.html).

Word of advice beforehand

  • Alfresco have variety of products (Alfresco-One, Alfresco Community Edition, etc).
  • Make sure you always refer to the documentation for which product you are using.
  • Make sure you refer to the correct version of Alfresco, there are differences in REST API calls from version to version..
  • Last but not the least, make sure you get the correct understanding of how Alfresco works (conceptual understanding). Because its a pretty big application which could be confusing when diving in, but could play nasty stuff with the experience.
  • Sometimes these documentations would be hard to follow or confusing, I advice you to follow Jeff Potts who is one of the leading guy in the Alfresco community. His blog being http://ecmarchitect.com He have some great articles and most importantly step by step tutorials for common problems we face in Alfresco.
  • I listed these because you've said you are getting started with Alfresco.

If WebDAV access is sufficient for your project I can recommend Sardine. It's simple, easy to use and well documented. For example listing resources:

Sardine sardine = SardineFactory.begin(username, password);

List<DavResource> resources = sardine.list("http://yourdavserver.com/adirectory/");
for (DavResource res : resources) {
    System.out.println(res);
}

For more examples, please check the usage guide.
