That said, I believe there's still a way for you to get the functionality you need. The VelocityEngine is configured to search for content from two sources, file, then class which means that if you wanted to override controlheader.vm and/or controlfooter.vm, you could write your own
/templates/xhtml/controlheader.vm /templates/xhtml/controlfooter.vm
and place them in the web path (which gets searched before the class path).

What about something in the middle:
Indroduce a tag attribute called "controlTemplate" that is optional.
If the controlTemplate value is not set, use the value "default" .. i.e. default-header.vm and default-footer.vm. If it is set, use it in determining the filed : ${controlTemplate}-header.vm and ${controlTemplate}-footer.vm files
Also provide a special case called "none" ... Though this can probably be implemented by none-header.vm and none-footer.vm :)
That way, the default set of UI templates can be used without having to hack them up to make them work with a custom layout.

This seems like a very grainular approach for a need that doesn't come up too often. Might just be easier to leave these minor customizations up to the developer. I'd lean towards not doing this...

Subject: [OS-webwork] Splitting up controlheader
Hi guys,
In order to facilitate changing the UI tag templates, I suggest we split
up
controlheader. A tag will be rendered using:
- include row-header - include label-header - include label - include label-footer - include widget-header - include widget - include widget-footer - include row-footer
This way, if one would like to use for example only CSS templates, only
the
header and footers need to be changed. Does this sound like a good idea?
Mathias
