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.

Regards,

Raj
