[opencms-dev] Recommendation for <cms:contentload> tag

[bessette]

I needed to get the CmsResource object inside of the <cms:contentload>
tag, but the tag doesn't make the current resource available as a scripting
variable.  So, I had to customize the org.opencms.jsp.CmsJspTagContentLoad
class to make that object available:



protected void doLoadNextFile() throws CmsException {

        // get the next resource from the collector
        CmsResource resource = getNextResource();
        if (resource == null) {
            m_resourceName = null;
            m_content = null;
            return;
        }
        
        pageContext.setAttribute( "resource", resource );

        ...
}


This customization allows me to access the current CmsResource like
${resource.name} (same as CmsResource.getName()).  However, the variable
name "resource" is hardcoded.  Most tags allow the user to specify the name
of the scripting variable using an "id" attribute on the tag.  See
http://java.sun.com/j2ee/1.3/docs/tutorial/doc/JSPTags4.html#wp66315 for
reference.


Anyway, that's my suggested improvement.



Thanks,

Eric
