[opencms-dev] Again on JSP with template

Hi Domenico, Ive been reading your posts and I think you are a bit
confused. Ill try to explain you in a few words.

1º) You will have to do your template: these are two files (2), a definition
file within an XML and a .JSP file to define the squeletom of your page
(your real  template). In your /system/modules/<yourmodule>/template will
define this two files:

File1  definition: 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

<xmltemplate>

   <stylesheet></stylesheet>

   <template>

      <element name="def01"/>

   </template>

   <elementdef name="def01">

      <class>com.opencms.flex.CmsJspTemplate</class>   

      <template>esqueletom.jsp</template>

   </elementdef>

</xmltemplate>

File2- esqueletom.jsp:

<%@ page session="false" %>

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

<html>

<title>Header File</title>

<body>

  <cms:include element="body" />   

</body>

</html>

Thats all; from now you could create a new .html file, select this
template, and all information you write in your editor, would be embebed
instead of <cms:include element="body" />. ¿ ok ? .... simple template
functions !!

But, whats happend with new .JSP files, there are no posibilities to select
any template, so ...

When you create a .JSP file, you will have to do some steps to use the
template:

1º) you will have to create a new property for this new .jsp file, the name
of this property is template and the value would be the name of the
esqueletom.jsp file with all path
(/system/modules/<yourmodule>/esqueletom.jsp). This way, we select the
template for .JSP !! dont forget it !!

2º) in your esqueletom.jsp will have to make some changes, look:

<%@ page session="false" %>

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

<cms:template element="head">

   <html>

   <title>Header File</title>

   <body>

</cms:template>

<cms:include element="body" />   

<cms:template element="foot">

  </body>

  </html>

</cms:template>

... we use two new tags, one to define head area and other foot area.

3º) in your .JSP page, you will have to include the areas of this template
in your code, for instance:

<%@ page session="false" %>

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

<%@ page import="java.io.*" %>

<cms:include property="template" element="head" />

   La hora actual es <%= new java.util.Date() %><p>

<cms:include property="template" element="foot" />

Thats all. I hope this will be usefull, this time.

Hi Arian (is this your name?),

Thank you for the answer but I am not quite sure to understand how to use
it: could you please clarify where the piece of code you suggest must be
put? Which element must be substituted with specific data, I guess
"yourjsp.jsp" refers to my JSP page (correct?), but what about
<template><element name="jsp"/></template> ?

Regards
