[opencms-dev] Re ndering an element with a certain formatter programmatically

[Tobias Herrmann]

Hi Roel,

take a look at org.opencms.jsp.CmsJspTagContainer line 970 and following.
Get an instance of CmsJspStandardContextBean like this:
CmsJspStandardContextBean  standardContext = CmsJspStandardContextBean.getInstance(req);
Also create an CmsContainerElementBean instance for the XMLContent resource you want to render and follow the example in the CmsJspTagContainer class.

Greetings, Tobias
