[opencms-dev] How to get property values of files in vfs

[Thomas Fabbricante]

Added the one line to cast to CmsResource, and it works like a charm.

Thanks!

for(int i=0;i<numFiles ;i++){
      //out.println(files.get(i).toString());
       // files is a Vector of com.opencms.file.CmsFile objects.
       CmsResource res = (CmsResource)files.get(i);
       String filename = res.getAbsolutePath();
       String title = cmso.readProperty(filename, propertyname);
       // Do whatever...

  }

I'm working from memory here, so you'd better read the Javadocs first,
but...

import com.opencms.file.CmsObject;

CmsObject cmso = cms.getCmsObject();
String propertyname = "Title";
 > Vector files = cms.getFilesInFolder(targetFolder);
 > int numFiles = files.size();
 >
 > for(int i=0;i<numFiles ;i++){
 >     //out.println(files.get(i).toString());
       // files is a Vector of com.opencms.file.CmsFile objects.
       String filename = files.get(i).getAbsolutePath();
       String title = cmso.readProperty(filename, propertyname);
       // Do whatever...
 >
 > }

The CmsObject is really important, but it's not really covered in the
docs that well. You'll definitely want to read the Javadocs for it --
you'll find it helpful.
