Data Types

When creating XML contents, different data types can be used according to the requirements of the desired content. To each data type, a default widget is mapped which creates the input element (e.g. a text input field) for the form based XML content editor.

OpenCms provides the following data types for XML contents:

• OpenCmsBoolean
• OpenCmsColor
• OpenCmsDateTime
• OpenCmsHtml
• OpenCmsLocale
• OpenCmsString
• OpenCmsVfsFile
