Hello
I figured out, that it is quiet flexible to use jsp templates the way it is described
in http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-09-2000/jw-0915-jspweb_p.html. It gives you
the possiblity to have different layouts and you can change them for any reason. Also,
you gain an advantage, because you can reuse different part of html/jsp code to plug
together your pages. If you didn't try it, you should take a look on this.
I am not using a tool like dreaweaver, instead I use an editor. So, can't give you a
hint on that.

Subject: The most efficient way to use templates
Hi,
What is the best way to use templates? We have tried several approaches now:
1. Include the layout on the top and bottom of each contentpage. (include header and
footer). Problem: what to do if the layout around it is very dynamic? And how to use
with a tool like dreamweaver?
2. Make a template and include the contentpage in the template. Problem: how to
include actions?
Other options are simply making a lot of templates that are all almost the same, but
for different sections of the site.
We are not sure what is the best way to do it.
Side question: our customer wants something like a Lime like tool. But is there
anything out there that does this with jsp's/struts? I didn't think so.
