I have done this recently. I made a JSP that reads the source data and
puts it into a container on a specific page. Below, I've pasted the
parts of my JSP that handle insertion into a container:
//Step 1 - Get the container in which to insert data
JahiaContainerList containerList =
jData.containers().getAbsoluteContainerList("yourContainerListName",page
Id);
/* Step 2 - While iterating over your source data, create a new
container for each record */
JahiaContainer container = new JahiaContainer(0,
jParams.getJahiaID(), pageId, containerList.getID(),
0 /* rank */, containerList.getAclID(),
containerList.getctndefid(), 0, 2);
JahiaContainerDefinition containerDef = container.getDefinition();
ServicesRegistry.getInstance().getJahiaContainersService().
saveContainer(container, containerList.getID(), jData.params());
container.setLanguageCode(jData.params().getLocale().toString());
container.fieldsStructureCheck(jData.params());
/* Step 3 - Insert field values */
JahiaField cField = container.getField("someFieldInYourContainer");
cField.setValue(someValueFromSourceRecord);
cField.save(jParams);
A final word of caution: my import program took a lot of time to run,
longer than the timeout of some of the servers in between through which
traffic to my Jahia server is routed (a web server redirects traffic to
the application server in our environment, and the web server is
accessed through a proxy). I had to use a direct connection to the
application server, circumventing the go-betweens to give the JSP time
to run to completion. Also, I built in some flags in the JSP to prevent
an import being triggered accidentally.
Hope this helps implement your requirement.
Best regards,
Max.

Subject: [SPAM] - Manually creating containers through code
(programmatically) - Bayesian Filter detected spam
Hey all,
Is it possible to create container lists in code rather than through
popups etc.
We have a requirement to import an existing set of data from a none
Jahia site. I will be collecting this data through SQL statements. I
want to then create appropriate Jahia containers to represent this
data.
We also have a requirement to input data into a container holding one
bigtextfield via a form. This will also require the ability to
manaually
create container lists.
I look forward to your response.
Thanks,
Richard.
