[opencms-dev] Access Denied From Scheduled Task

[Stephan Hartmann]

Hello Jeffrey,

the task starts in the Online project where you cannot make any changes. You 
have to switch to an offline project. There is a tempfile project with id 3 
(this may change but you can read it from the registry).
You can set your active project by calling

cms.getRequestContext().setCurrentProject(3);

Bye,
Stephan
