[opencms-dev] modules and projects

[tol]

Hi @all!

I didn't understand the coaction between projects and modules.

With a new folder and a related project I define a kind of context. I 
can put pages, links, jsp and so on into. These objects I can reach by 
an URL that includes the name of the projectfolder. But, only after 
publishing this project!

A module creates some intelligence, bundles templates, jsps, images, 
javaclasses.

Ok - so far so good! But how I get the module into the project??

A stupid example:
I create a bannerexchange module. A collection of classes to store and 
manage the names of banner, clicks, views, target URL and so on. To show 
a banner in one of my projectpages (jsp) I would include the neccessary 
classes and at the place where to display the banner I write a jsp line 
like:
<% out.println (myBannerSystem.printRandom()) %>

But: did the system realy know my Classes coming with the bannermodule? 
How learns the project about the new moduleclasses?

Hope you can help me! best regards!
Tol
