[opencms-dev] template-element property

[Chris Tiernan]

Thanks that helps.  So, does this replace the template property,
assuming I have a master template setup, or is it used in conjunction
with the template-elements?

If you set the template-elements property on an XML resource to the path
of
a JSP (usually one held within a module), than page views of the URL
corresponding to the XML resource causes the JSP to be executed.
Typically,
this approach is used to render XML content using a JSP view.

When XML content types are defined in a module, it's common to have the
template-elements property set automatically on new instances of the
content
type.  Here's an example taken from my opencms-modules.xml:

			<resourcetypes>
				<type
class="org.opencms.file.types.CmsResourceTypeXmlContent" name="article"
id="80">
					<properties>
						<property>
							<!-- Determines
behaviour of editor in outputting contents -->
	
<name>content-conversion</name>
							<value
type="shared">
	
<![CDATA[cleanup;xhtml]]>
							</value>
						</property>
						<property>
							<!--	This
property is set to define the JSP used to render the resource. -->
	
<name>template-elements</name>
							<value
type="shared">
	
<![CDATA[/system/modules/{{runtime.opencms.module.name}}/template-elemen
ts/a
rticle.jsp]]>
							</value>
						</property>
					</properties>
					<copy-resources />
					<param
name="schema">/system/modules/{{runtime.opencms.module.name}}/schemas/ar
ticl
e.xsd</param>
				</type>
				<!- ........ ->
			</resourcetypes>

I'm a little confused by the template-element property.   Can anyone
provide a quick explanation of this property, how I can benefit from
using
it, and point me to a good example?  Thanks in advanced.

Best,
Chris
