[opencms-dev] creating instances of structured content programmatically

[eelboy at aol.com]

Harald,

Do you know of a way to also set property values using the Helper 
object?  I've been trying to find out what the XPath parameter might 
look like... and I've tried a few things, but it doesn't seem to work.

thanks for any help (again!)
