[opencms-dev] Use openCms to generate xml page, not html.

Here's a simple trick how to achive this. I'll show how to do this with the
content of the "templateone" XML content demo. 

First, in the /xmlcontent/ folder, create a file "xmldump.jsp" with the
following content:

-------------------
<%@page import="org.opencms.jsp.*, org.opencms.file.*" %><%

CmsJspActionElement cms = new CmsJspActionElement(pageContext, request,
response);

String uri = cms.getRequestContext().getUri();
CmsFile file = cms.getCmsObject().readFile(uri);
// note that this dosen't handle charsets
byte[] content = file.getContents();
String result = new String(content);

out.println(result);

%>
--------------------

Now go to any article file in the folder and open the property editor. In
the advanced property view, locate the "template-elements" property. Change
this to point to the newly created file e.g. "/xmlcontent/xmldump.jsp". 

Now the XML should be dumped directly.
In order to not do this for all files individually, just do it on the folder
where the XML content files are located.

Best Regards,
Alex.
