[opencms-dev] XML Content: Binary Data Type

[Sebastian Himberger]

Hi Peter,

you could also develop your own A_CmsXmlContentValue to store encoded
binary data. Maybe you have to implement a widget too.. this could
result in quite a bit of work. AFAIK there's no out of the box feature
in OpenCms.

best regards,
Sebastian
