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

[Fr3z]

Thanks Tobias!

I managed to get the component rendered.

I used this piece of code:

<%
	CmsJspActionElement cms = new CmsJspActionElement(pageContext, request,
response);  
	CmsObject cmso = cms.getCmsObject();
	
	CmsADEConfigData adeConfig =
OpenCms.getADEManager().lookupConfiguration(cmso,cmso.getRequestContext().getRootUri());
	Locale locale = cmso.getRequestContext().getLocale();
	ServletRequest req = pageContext.getRequest();
    ServletResponse res = pageContext.getResponse();
	
	CmsJspStandardContextBean standardContext =
CmsJspStandardContextBean.getInstance(req);
	
	CmsUUID elementId = new CmsUUID("368253f9-280e-11e2-87b4-6f30f3c96804");
//fixed UUID for testing
	
	CmsUUID formatterId = new CmsUUID("ea80662f-0e03-11e2-8801-bd815a05da55");
//fixed UUID for testing
	
	String formatter =
"/system/modules/be.redtree.crelan.intranet.news/formatters/detail.jsp";

	CmsContainerElementBean containerelement = new
CmsContainerElementBean(elementId, formatterId, null, false);
	containerelement.initResource(cmso);
	standardContext.setElement(containerelement);
	
	CmsJspTagInclude.includeTagAction(pageContext,formatter,null,locale,false,
false, null,CmsRequestUtil.getAtrributeMap(req),req,res);
	
%>


It still lacks some error handling but it works. 

But now I have the following problem.

I added the jsp containing this code via a function provider element to a
page.
Now when I click the edit button, I can edit this function provider (normal
behaviour).
But I want to edit the element I programmatically added, and not edit the
function provider.

Is there a way to do this?

Greetings,

Roel
