[opencms-dev] flex: JSP and templates?

[Moises at eskatoo.de]

Hi again,

ah, I see... so that is to use JSPs as templates.... nice!

But how about the other way around?
What we would need currently is to use a "standard" template for our JSP
content pages -
is that possible in version 5 beta, too? Like if you make a new JSP page in
some content folder,
assign a template to it  (just like to a standard HTML file)...?

Thanks for your help!

Best regards,
Stefan

Hi Stefan,

> pages... is that correct?

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.
