[opencms-dev] flex: JSP and templates?

[Moises at eskatoo.de]

Hi,

thanks for your help, Alex!

So there is no way to use a "normal" XML template for the JSP content
pages?
The reason I'm asking is this:
we got a frametemplate for our whole website and so we'd like to be able to
use this
same frametemplate for our JSP content pages, too...

Could the 2 approaches you've mentioned ("include page" / JSP-Templates
defined in XML) be
combined with frames / frame templates?

Thanks again for your help,
best regards,
Stefan

Stefan,

Try it like this:

------------------------
<%@ taglib prefix="cms" uri="http://www.opencms.org/taglib/cms"  %>

<cms:include page="demodefault_head.jsp" />

Some HTML stuff.

<cms:include page="demodefault_foot.jsp" />
------------------------

Note: You can not use the WYSIWYG Editor on this pages.
Use the XML approach show below for that.
Oviously, the head / foot JSP files can be shared between XML and JSP.

In case want you "assign" the target of the include with
a property, this is unsupported in the 5.0 beta 1.
Maybe it will make the final.

Regards,

Alex.
