[opencms-dev] nullpointer exception while using contentload on empty folder

[Nigel Kersten]

While we're talking about using contentload on an empty folder...

How are people dealing with this situation?  I would like for my  
users to be able to add a New item to an empty folder, but it doesn't  
seem like it's at all possible using taglib, am I right?

Are the only options to either:

1) Create the first structured content 'by hand' in the workplace.
or
2) Use JSP to create a 'New' button that creates the given content  
then opens it up in the structured content editor?

I've been playing around with the second option, and have gotten a  
bit stuck. I've been trying to reverse-engineer the JavaScript that  
gets created by the taglib on a contentload for a folder that does  
have content in it, but am thinking that this might not be the best  
way to approach the problem in terms of future updates to OpenCMS.
