Within a Confluence macro, how do I retrieve the current ContentEntityObject?

You can retrieve the current ContentEntityObject (ie the content object this macro is a part of), as follows:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 public String execute(Map parameters, String body, RenderContext renderContext) throws MacroException { // retrieve a reference to the body object this macro is in if (!(renderContext instanceof PageContext)) { throw new MacroException("This macro can only be used in a page"); } ContentEntityObject contentObject = ((PageContext)renderContext).getEntity(); ...

Note that this method might return null if there is no current content object (for example if you are previewing a page that has not been added yet, or if a remote user is rendering a fragment of notation).
