[opencms-dev] Creating Modules

[Christian Steinert]

To get started, take a look at the opencms taglib and scriptlet documentation sections. Both are part of the Alkacon documentation which comes pre-installed with opencms.

Then, it is also a good idea to look at the Javadocs for the classes CmsJspActionElement and CmsObject
These two are the most important classes for accessing the functionality of opencms. 

The Alkacon taglib docs describe how you get an instance of CmsJspActionElement in your own jsp pages.
You can get a CmsObject instance by calling cmsJspActionElement.getCmsObject()
