[opencms-dev] VFS target "/path/filename.jsp" wasalreadyincluded earlier

Mike -

Thanks for posting the solution.  I've always found the documentation very
confusing in this area, and this helps to clear things up.

For the benifit of others here I have a solution and the root cause which
was located in the template code. 

This issue developed as I followed the how-to template instructions to the
letter. However, this causes certain elements to encounter this recursive
treatment when used in conjunction with other jsp pages (as close as I can
tell).

Essentially, the how-to instructions call for the inclusion of a tag within
the template which includes the template a second time.

<cms:template element="body">
<cms:include element="body" editable="true"/> <!--some html code here-->
</cms:template>

The second line which uses the cms:include tag is incorrect. I think the
example given is trying to demonstrate the ability to include editable
elements in the html, but this does not work with jsp pages. 

The correct tags to be used for jsp pages is as follows:

<cms:template element="body">
<!--some html code here-->
</cms:template>

While the how-to examples given may be fine for html pages, jsp pages will
always throw an error, becuase it is trying to create an editable element
within the jsp page. There should be some sort of explaination on this
subject or seperate examples for templates for use in jsp pages.

Many thanks to all those who offered suggestions.


Mike
