[opencms-dev] OpenCms 6.0 Alpha-1 - status of CmsJspTagContentItem

[Mike Bachrynowski]

Hi

I installed the opencms_6.0_alpha_1.zip distribution (this contains
CmsJspTagContentItem and the tag contentitem).  I am testing the
xmlcontent approach.  I am using Docbook XML fragments and have set up a
opencms Schema to process my Docbook fragments.  I can edit, store and
publish the fragments.   Very impressed.  Now I would like to view the
results in a jsp page (as in the xmlpage approach)....and then use the
OpenCMS module / template approach similar to that used with xmlpage
content.  

CVS checkout of the complete OpenCms source code no longer includes the
source for the CmsJspTagContentItem class. The class is replaced by 4
new classes.
- org.cms.jsp.CmsjspTagContentCheck
- org.cms.jsp.CmsjspTagContentLoad
- org.cms.jsp.CmsjspTagContentLoop
- org.cms.jsp.CmsjspTagContentShow

The cvs / javadoc documentation defines 4 new cms tags in the taglib
<cms:contentcheck ... />
<cms:contentload ... />
<cms:contentloop ... />
<cms:contentshow ... />

My questions.
1. Is CmsJspTagContentItem no longer to be used?
2. When will opencms_6.0_alpha_x.zip be available to replace
opencms_6.0_alpha_1.zip with a version that has the four above classes
and the new taglib?
3. In the meantime should I compile the current cvs version and run with
that? 
4. Any chance of JSP code snippet examples that shows how the developers
expect the new tags to be used to view xmlcontent documents?

Thanks in anticipation.
