I was hoping that I could have done something like <cms:include element="newsbody"/> and that then would have called the view JSP in order to inject the XMLContent view to my generic template. </DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: arial, helvetica, sans-serif"> </DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: arial, helvetica, sans-serif">The current design also means that if people wish to use the default OpenCms content types within their own templates (other than TemplateOne), they have to rewrite all view JSP for the content types, which is a shame. Or am I still missunderstanding this?</DIV>

<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: arial, helvetica, sans-serif">Also, how do you share the content types e.g. between 2 different sub sites with the current framework? Other than building some logic in the template to cope with this as you were suggesting earlier.</DIV>
