[opencms-dev] help needed with templates and elements

Fri Sep 24 19:45:03 CEST 2004

I posted a message about this a couple week ago and got no reponse. I'm
trying again because I am still having this problem.

The souce code is more or less from example code posted in the docs/books. I
have a JSP template (see end of message for source code). This template is
able to be applied to an HTML file without problem. When I apply the
template to a JSP file (see end of message for source code), I am running
into several problems. 

1) I am unable to include both head & foot elements. When both elements are
included I get a ServletException on page load (FlexDispatcher: Detected
inclusion loop for target /gto/jspTemplateTest.jsp). If I comment out one of
the includes, the page loads (minus the commented out include). This isn't
good as I am unable to pick parts of a template to use in a content page.

2) The body element is not included correctly. In my final result, I only
see the paragraph elements of the JSP page, not the h2 element of the
template. I do see the head element included (with title element) so I know
that the JSP template is being applied to my JSP page. But something isn't
working quite right.

I suspect these two problems are related, but being new to OpenCms, I don't
know how. I was unable to find answers in the mailing list archives. Does
anyone have any tips, suggestions, ideas, or anything that would help me
resolve this problem?

thx
