[opencms-dev] using directedit from outside the workspace

[Rüdiger Kurz]

Hi,

using the method:

/**
  * Logs a system user in to OpenCms.<p>
  *
  * Note that if a login project name is provided, this project must
  * exist, otherwise the login is regarded as a failure even if the user
  * data was correct.<p>
  *
  * @param userName the users name
  * @param password the password
  * @param projectName the project to switch to after login
  * @param redirectUri the URI to redirect to after login
  *
  * @throws IOException in case redirect was not successful
  */
org.opencms.jsp.CmsJspLoginBean.login(String, String, String, String)

should switch to the project passed as third parameter. In order to 
initialize the CmsJspLoginBean in any JSP file you can call:

new CmsJspLoginBean(pageContext, request, response);

Hope that helps
Rüdiger
