[opencms-dev] jsp fragments in pages

[laurent.druart]

Hello Hein,

Thanks for your answer. I already use <cms:include> in templates. What I’m looking for is the best way to integrate some business logic on certain pages, not all. This logic will be in jsp where java beans are instantiated. But I will also use the opencms templates to « decorate » the page: header, footer, navbar, etc…

I know it is possible with « functions » but does it exist other ways?

Thank you.

Regards,

Laurent
