[opencms-dev] Problems and scheduled static export

[Jörg Herbst]

Hi Niklas,

it seems, as I've solved the problem. You have to install a proper 
CmsLaunchManager to get a correct export for HTML files.

I've added the following lines and now the whole thing works fine:
        String propsPath = CmsBase.getPropertiesPath(true);
        Configurations conf = new Configurations(new 
ExtendedProperties(propsPath));
        cmsForStaticExport.setLauncherManager(new CmsLauncherManager(new 
OpenCms(conf)));

I guess, it's a pretty dirty workaround to create a complete new CMS 
Object, but I haven't found a better way yet.

Thanks for your help
Jörg
