[opencms-dev] External XML access

[Jonathan Woods]

No, because the contentload tag (and other OpenCms tags) operate primarily
on the contents of the Virtual File System (VFS), the set of resources
stored in the OpenCms database structure and managed through (e.g.) the
Workspace.

But you can do anything in OpenCms JSPs which you can do in 'ordinary' JSPs,
because that's all they are (except that before being compiled they don't
exist in real filespace).  So you can import a third party taglib, or

<%

// you can use full blown java scriptlets
including XML library APIs

Subject: [opencms-dev] External XML access

Hello,

I'm totally new to OpenCMS so my question my be totally obvious however I
can't seem to find my answer in either in the documenation or in the archive
mailing list.

Is it possible to read an external XML document versus reading the document
directly from the VFS?

Can I do something like on a JSP page:

<cms:contentload collector="singleFile"
param="http://www.external.com/myxml.xml" editable="true">

thanks,
