[opencms-dev] How to acces files in the vfs?

[M Butcher]

The items in the Vector are CmsFile objects (a subclass of 
CmsResource)... CmsFile has a few nice methods for dealing with files.

I guess you'd use the CmsObject.readProperty() method for getting title, 
etc. for a file.

cms.readProperty(myFileName, 'title'); // or 'Title'?
