[opencms-dev] Answer for Bread Crumbs

[Pucky Loucks]

After looking everywhere to find out how to do bread crumbs in OpenCMS,  
I ended up locking myself in my office and did the following.

breadcrumb.jsp
<%@ page session="false"  
import="com.opencms.flex.jsp.*,com.opencms.file.*" %>
<%

     com.opencms.flex.jsp.CmsJspActionElement cms = new   
CmsJspActionElement(pageContext, request, response);
     com.opencms.flex.jsp.CmsJspNavBuilder cmsnav = cms.getNavigation();
     java.lang.StringBuffer mystring = new StringBuffer("");

     String rootFolder = "/myrootweb/";
     String thisFolder = cms.getRequestContext().getFolderUri();
     String thisFile = cms.getRequestContext().getFileUri();
     String name;
     mystring.insert(0,"<a href='" + cms.link(thisFolder + thisFile) +  
"'>"+ thisFile +"</a>  ");
     while(true)
     {
       if(rootFolder.equalsIgnoreCase(thisFolder))
          break;
     name =  
cms.getNavigation().getNavigationForResource(thisFolder).getNavText();
     thisFolder =  
cms.getNavigation().getNavigationForResource(thisFolder).getParentFolder 
Name();
     mystring.insert(0,"<a href='" + cms.link(thisFolder) + "'>" + name   
+ "</a>  ");
     }
     out.print(mystring.toString());
%>

not sure if it's the greatest, but it works.

Feedback is welcome.
