Accessing extended attributes when generating html

joelchia

I'm trying to find a way to access a .page's EA (for page metadata) during html generation (in workflow).

At the moment the html is being generated, but missing the metadata (inserted via pagescope).

I am able to access the EA during preview. Infact, the preview output is exactly how I want my page.

Currently I'm doing this during preview and page generation.


PreviewRequestContext prc = (PreviewRequestContext)context;
CSClient lsCSClient = prc.getSeed().getCSClient();
csFile = lsCSClient.getFile(new CSVPath(vpath));
String ea = NodeHelper.getStringEA((CSSimpleFile)csFile, "foo");


It works fine in preview, but while the page is being generated, lsCSClient is null.

And I can't seem to find any doco to indicate how I should be retrieving the EA during page generation.

I'm working with TeamSite 7.3.1

Edit: I forgot to mention that I know that during generate, the context is PrerenderingContext but that doesn't seem to help me get a valid/usable CSClient instance.
