                                    throws CmsException
Create a new instance of an XML content based on the given default content, hat will have all language nodes of the default content and ensures the presence of the given locale.

The given encoding is used when marshalling the XML again later.

Parameters:
cms - the current users OpenCms content
locale - the locale to generate the default content for
modelUri - the absolute path to the XML content file acting as model
Returns:
the created XML content
Throws:
CmsException - in case the model file is not found or not valid

createDocument

public static CmsXmlContent createDocument(CmsObject cms,
                                           java.util.Locale locale,
                                           java.lang.String encoding,

Create a new instance of an XML content based on the given content definiton, that will have one language node for the given locale all initialized with default values.

The given encoding is used when marshalling the XML again later.

Parameters:

encoding - the encoding to use when marshalling the XML content later
contentDefinition - the content definiton to create the content for
Returns:

unmarshal

public static CmsXmlContent unmarshal(CmsObject cms,
                                      byte[] xmlData,
                                      java.lang.String encoding,
                                      org.xml.sax.EntityResolver resolver)
                               throws CmsXmlException
Factory method to unmarshal (generate) a XML content instance from a byte array that contains XML data.

When unmarshalling, the encoding is read directly from the XML header of the byte array. The given encoding is used only when marshalling the XML again later.

Warning:
This method does not support requested historic versions, it always loads the most recent version. Use unmarshal(CmsObject, CmsResource, ServletRequest) for history support.

Parameters:
cms - the cms context
xmlData - the XML data in a byte array
encoding - the encoding to use when marshalling the XML content later
resolver - the XML entitiy resolver to use
Returns:
a XML content instance unmarshalled from the byte array
Throws:
CmsXmlException - if something goes wrong

unmarshal

public static CmsXmlContent unmarshal(CmsObject cms,
                                      CmsFile file)
                               throws CmsXmlException
Factory method to unmarshal (read) a XML content instance from a OpenCms VFS file that contains XML data.

Warning:
This method does not support requested historic versions, it always loads the most recent version. Use unmarshal(CmsObject, CmsResource, ServletRequest) for history support.

Parameters:
cms - the current cms object
file - the file with the XML data to unmarshal
Returns:
a XML page instance unmarshalled from the provided file
Throws:
CmsXmlException - if something goes wrong

unmarshal

public static CmsXmlContent unmarshal(CmsObject cms,
                                      CmsFile file,
                                      boolean keepEncoding)
                               throws CmsXmlException
Factory method to unmarshal (read) a XML content instance from a OpenCms VFS file that contains XML data, using wither the encoding set in the XML file header, or the encoding set in the VFS file property.

If you are not sure about the implications of the encoding issues, use unmarshal(CmsObject, CmsFile) instead.

Warning:
This method does not support requested historic versions, it always loads the most recent version. Use unmarshal(CmsObject, CmsResource, ServletRequest) for history support.

Parameters:
cms - the current cms object
file - the file with the XML data to unmarshal
keepEncoding - if true, the encoding spefified in the XML header is used, otherwise the encoding from the VFS file property is used
Returns:
a XML content instance unmarshalled from the provided file
Throws:
CmsXmlException - if something goes wrong
