[opencms-dev] R: R: insert data without using opencms backend

[Achim Westermann]

Hi Valerio,

a short hint. In a JSP start with this: http://opencms-wiki.org/Get_the_CMSObject

Then have a look at the API of CmsObject. It allows you to write, create, read, publish... resources in the OpenCms VFS. Combine this with 
HTML <forms> (which map their values to a Java Bean if you like) to collect the data, on submit validate and potentially write your data.

HTH,

Achim
