[opencms-dev] Storing additional attributes for a file in OpenCMS

[M Butcher]

Ram,

Metadata is stored as properties for a file. By default, Title, 
Description, and Keywords are configured. Adding additional properties 
can be done in <5 minutes through the properties manager in the 
Administration view.

The OpenCms API provides access to these properties (see the Javadoc for 
com.opencms.file.CmsObject and (I think) com.opencms.file.CmsFile).

As for access control and authentication, you may want to search the 
archives and the forum, lest you end up "re-inveinting the wheel."
