[opencms-dev] Creating "New" and "Delete" XML buttons via jsp?

[Jonathan Woods]

Nigel -

I fear I'm misunderstanding you, but: afaik the 'edit' button can trigger
editing of a XML VFS resources, but the 'add' and 'delete' buttons are
generally only rendered once you're editing that resource, for document
elements with variable [searches for right word here] cardinality - and not
including the root element.

So to put it loosely, for a schema like
<Things><Thing><Multivalue></Multivalue></Thing></Things> the editor will
happily let you add/delete instances of <Multivalued> but unfortunately not
of <Thing>, even though the OpenCms schema rules say you have to specify
minOccurs="0" and maxOccurs="unbounded" for <Thing>.

To get 'add' and 'delete' buttons for adding whole new instances of
structured content, you could presumably nest the schema within a containing
schema, in which <Multivalue> above would become <Thing> and the higher
level container would be a placeholder.  Or you could program your own
buttons to create new VFS files then redirect to the editing interface for
them.

reposting one last time as I'm not getting anywhere with this...

I've worked out thanks to Jonathon how to use cms.include to bring up the
edit button for structured content that is being displayed via JSP.

Does anyone know of an equivalent for the "New" and "Delete" buttons?
