AW: [opencms-dev] Writing several documents in one page ?

[Frank Wunderlich]

Good question. I have found a way, but I also would like to know if
their is a simpler solution.

I needed a kind of summary-page, that should list all titles,
descriptions and "abstracts" of the pages in its subfolders.
I looked at the news-module and custom content definitions first, but it
seemed to me, that their is still a lot of work to be done, if you want
to use all the nice features like access control,
online-/offline-versions, workflow, wysiwig-editor and so on, that
already exist for the "standard pages". So I decided to work with the
"standard pages" and to accept their semi-structuredness.

To build my summary-page I do the following:

- I iterate over all the pages (CmsJspNavElements) in the subfolders of
the current directory. (your ArrayList)

- For each CmsJspNavElement I can get the filename via
CmsJspNavElement.getResourceName()

- I access the properties of this file (for example to get its title)
with CmsJspActionElement.properties(file)

Accessing the content is a little bit more complicated, and I am really
not sure if their isn't a more elegant way to do it:
  
- The content of each page is stored in a xml-file placed somewhere down
"/system/bodies".
- I get the content of this file and use a xml-parser to build a
dom-representation of the file.
- Then I look for the CData-Section in the first <Template>-Element.
That's the html produced by the wysiwig-editor and probably the thing
you are looking for.


I really keen to hear if someone knows an easier way.
Regards,
Frank.
