[opencms-dev] how to use opencms for my webproject

Tue Jun 12 21:08:04 CEST 2012

Hi,

I would deploy the Struts2-application as separated Web-application(In the same Tomcat as OpenCms).

1. In your OpenCms template basically check the Request-Parameter "ContentPart":
-------------------------------------
<c:if test="${param.ContentPart is empty || param.ContentPart=='HEADER'}">
<html>
	<head>
		.....
	</head>
	<body class="content">
		<div id="inner">
</c:if>
-------------------------------------
and so on for "NAVIGATION" and "FOOTER"

2. In your webapp template (sitemesh or tiles) import the ContentPart you want:
------------------------------------------------
<%@ taglib prefix="tiles" uri="http://struts.apache.org/tags-tiles"%>
<%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core"%>

<c:set var="openCmsContentPage" value="http://....../myApplicationPage.html" />

<c:import url="${openCmsContentPage}?ContentPart=HEADER" />
<c:import url="${openCmsContentPage}?ContentPart=NAVIGATION" />

<tiles:insert name="content" />

<c:import url="${openCmsContentPage}?ContentPart=FOOTER" />
------------------------------------------------

3. Of course You want link to your Web-application in your Navigation:
 - Create in OpenCms Page (The content is not relevant).
 - Select your OpenCms template
 - Set a Property (e.g.: "externalWebapp") the value to your Webapplikation
 - modify your OpenCms Navigation:
------------------------------------------------------
<c:forEach items="${nav.items}" var="elem">
	....
	<c:if test="${not empty elem.properties.externalWebapp}">
		<a href="${elem.properties.externalWebapp}"
	</c:if>
	<c:if test="${empty elem.properties.externalWebapp}">
		<a href="<cms:link>${elem.resourceName}</cms:link>"
	</c:if>
	....
------------------------------------------------------

I hope this helps,

regards,
Harald
