[opencms-dev] access opencms documents from java application

Hi!

I tried this, but I'll get a NullPointerException, as the security manager is 
not initialized in OpenCmsCore (line 1745, method 
initCmsObject(CmsContextInfo contextInfo)) when calling the line:
OpenCms.initCmsObject("Guest");

In CmsShell, the line 
_opencms = m_opencms.upgradeRunlevel(configuration);
is called after the OpenCmsCore is created and exactly this step is missing!

exactly: I tried to create an application that calls the API to read/write the 
contents of the VFS.
