Usually, most of the JSP logic, templates included, is stored in one or 
more custom modules. That way, code can be maintained separately from 
the files in the CMS, and thus the development machine doesn't have to 
have the same content as the production machine.

The JSPs are still "inside" OpenCms -- but are not inside of the main 
content area.

A typical module would store JSP templates in the jsptemplates/ 
directory and the JSP logic in the elements/ directory.

Hope that helps.
