[opencms-dev] OpenCMS Access

Thu Oct 15 19:21:18 CEST 2009

Hi Markus,

so what you like to implement is to have the structured content generated as
usual but nor for the browser client but on the server itself to be able to send
it via email?
One way would be to export the structured content and then use the generates
file for whatever purpose.
But I think there may be also possibilities in the OpenCms API to get the
generated content via a "dummy" Request programmatically.

Though, I would have to study the API to get the idea :-)

Kind regards, Bernd

 I think we misunderstood each other, probably I was using the word Template in
the wrong context.

To clear this up. We are right now using HTML-Files in the OpenCMS without any
Templates and/or schema behind. These Files do just contain plain HTML. This is
what we are using for the eMail Stuff in our Module, and this is done in JAVA
and not in JSPs.

What we are looking for, is basically a way to retrieve the full HTML-file after
we migrated to using Templates for them.

R,

Markus

Maybe some of the CmsXml classes might do?
Don't know. Is the content of the Email in these XML files?
Would you have to parse the XML?

I'm using the CmsHtmlMail class in a jsp to send Email like this:
   CmsHtmlMail htmlmail= new CmsHtmlMail();

   htmlmail.addTo("kuku at somewhere.de","Company GmbH");
   htmlmail.addCc("meier at somewhere.de","Company GmbH");
   htmlmail.setFrom("Infoveranstaltung at company.de");
   htmlmail.setSubject("Anmeldung");
   htmlmail.setCharset("iso-8859-2");
   htmlmail.setHtmlMsg(
   "<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC \"-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN\"
\"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd\">\r"+
"<html>\r"+
"<head>\r"+
"<title>Registrierung</title>\r"+
"<style type=\"text/css\">\r"+
"body {\r"+
"    font-family: Tahoma, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"+
"    font-size: 12px;"+
"    text-align: left;"+
"    background:#f0f2f4;"+
"    color: #11316c;"+
"}"+
"td {     text-align: left;\r     vertical-align: top;\r"+
"</style>\r"+
...

And the htmlmail.send();
