[opencms-dev] Create Editable HTML with JSP elements?

[Alexander Kandzior]

Steven,

the way do do this is like:

1. Have one JSP based template that is used for both HTML pages and
forms.
2. Check out the template-howto from the documentation. This explains
how to set up the template. Now your JSP form has the template but
misses the ediable content.
3. On you JSP form, do something like this:

--------------
<%
CmsJspActionElement cms = new CmsJspActionElement(pageContext, request,
response);
String contentInput = CmsFile.getPath(cms.getRequestContext().getUri())
+ "formediable_content.html";   
%>

Some html stuff here

<!-- Add html form page "formediable_content.html":
<%
cms.includeSilent(contentInput, "body");
%>

Some more html stuff here
----------------

So you end up with 2 resources in your folder where your form is: 
The form itself and the "formediable_content.html" page. 
The form reads the content from the page like.
To edit the content on the form, just edit the page.

To prevent users from directly accessing the "formediable_content.html"
page, set the "i" flag in the permissions.


Best Regards,
Alex.
