Everything you need is in the org.opencms.file.CmsObject.

There you have

public CmsResource readResource(String resourcename) throws CmsException

which retunes a CmsResource object, containing everything of a resource 
in OpenCms except the content itself.

And you have

public CmsFile readFile(String resourcename) throws CmsException

which returns a CmsFile that has everything of a CmsResource plus the 
file content.

You should take a closer look to the JavaDocs of the CmsObject, what you 
can do there with files, users, etc.



Form a JSP, you can get the required CmsObject with this code:

CmsJspActionElement cms = new CmsJspActionElement(pageContext, request, 
response);
CmsObject cmsObject = cms.getCmsObject();
