[opencms-dev] How to save OpenCMS content to external locations?

[Paul-Inge Flakstad]

Hi Clement,

First of all: Please make sure to reply on the correct email (not the
digest), keeping the subject line intact.

The modified resource is available via the event object's data map, see
CmsEvent#getData().

So, for example, you might do something like this in your action class:

public void cmsEvent(CmsEvent e) {
    if (e.getType() == I_CmsEventListener.EVENT_RESOURCE_MODIFIED) {
        // Get the resource that was modified
        CmsResource r =
(CmsResource)e.getData().get(I_CmsEventListener.KEY_RESOURCE);
        // See also the other I_CmsEventListener#KEY_XXXX constants, for
more options
        ...
    }
}

Hope this helps :)

Cheers,
Paul

Hi Paul,

Thanks very much for replying!

How might I find out the location of the page the content is located in?
