[opencms-dev] acces the internal cms files extrenally

[Alexander Langer]

With help from Olli Aro I was able to write a simple JSP, which takes
a HTML file as a parameter and prints it out. This is an easy way to
access content in the VFS externally.

Just access the xxx.jsp?file=page.html to display page.html.
Shouldn't be a problem to use this as input source in each and every
programming language with network support.

Heres the complete sourcecode:

<jsp:useBean id="cms" class="com.opencms.flex.jsp.CmsJspActionElement">
  <%cms.init(pageContext,request, response);%>
</jsp:useBean>

<%

String file="";

if (request.getParameter("file") != null) {
  file = request.getParameter("file");
}

String fileURI=file;

com.opencms.file.CmsFile reqFile=cms.getCmsObject().readFile(fileURI);
com.opencms.template.CmsXmlControlFile ctl=new com.opencms.template.CmsXmlControlFile(cms.getCmsObject(),reqFile);
com.opencms.template.cache.CmsElementDefinitionCollection collection=ctl.getElementDefinitionCollection();
com.opencms.template.cache.CmsElementDefinition def=collection.get("body");
com.opencms.template.CmsXmlTemplateFile template=new com.opencms.template.CmsXmlTemplateFile(cms.getCmsObject(),def.getTemplateName());
String content=template.getProcessedDataValue("TEMPLATE");
%>

<%=content%>
