Accessing the Content object in Java

Question

Hi
I'm using the ContentSelectorExample bean.
But I want to display the details using the JAVA code itself. I don't want
to use the printproperty code from JSP.
How can I extract the content from the Content object below ?
AdviceResults result = advisor.advise(request);
Collection docs =
((ContentQueryAdviceResults)result).getContent();
Content [ ]myContent = (Content[ ])docs.toArray(new
Content[docs.size()]);
Thanks
Chuck

Hi Chuck
What you have here is an array of Content objects, you can call all the
methods available through jsp tags using java on the Content object
To retrieve a property you can either use
java.lang.Ojbect myProperty = myContent[0].getProperty (which returns a
property Ojbect)
or
String myProperty = myContent[0].getPropertyAsString(propertyName, null)
(where propertyName is the string value of the property name, you can either
pass in null or a default value but it finally returns a string)
hope this helps
