This is true in the Flex alpha 1 release, but not longer in the 5.0 beta
1 release. We are currently preparing a (rather extensive) demo which
will show how you build a Template with JSP.
Here's a code snippet for a template from the upcoming demo. You
probably get the idea. Place this in the "/content/templates" directory.
-------------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xmltemplate>
<!-- This describes the template -->
<template>
<element name="head"/>
<element name="body"/>
<element name="foot"/>
</template>
<!-- Include A JSP as "head" element: -->
<elementdef name="head">
<!-- This class is the same for all JSP -->
<class>com.opencms.flex.CmsJspTemplate</class>
<!-- Here goes the JSP file to include -->
<template>demodefault_head.jsp</template>
</elementdef>
<!-- Include A JSP as "foot" element: -->
<elementdef name="foot">
<!-- This class is the same for all JSP -->
<class>com.opencms.flex.CmsJspTemplate</class>
<!-- Here goes the JSP file to include -->
<template>demodefault_foot.jsp</template>
</elementdef>
</xmltemplate>
---------------------
Important: In case you use JSP - Templates, you currently must set the
"export" property to "false" for the pages since JSP can currently not
be exported. It's ok to set this proprty on a folder to prevent all
files in this folder from being exported.
