Hi Randy, I am ready to work on JSP decoration templates. I have experience with taglibs and should not be much difficulty converting existing velocity templates. Certaily I will need your help to understand the structure of existing templates.
Can you please point me to any existing documentaion for understanding JPT. I have a question about the template structure. Velocity tempates are devided into header and footer part. I personly dont like the idea of separating a template in multiple files because it divides the HTML tags in to files and it becomes difficult to edit a template in a editor (e.gEclipse). My question is: Is it possible to use just one single file instead of two. For example I want to use a single decoration.jsp to contain complete template code.
