Using JSP pages in header/footer

[anyz <an...@gmail.com>]

I'm develping an application for Jetspeed 2.2.1 that was initially running
on Jetspped 1 . It uses JSP based header/footer templates that are heavily
customized to meet application need.

Initially i tried to get all those customizations into velocity templates
(header.vm and footer.vm) however as things becomming complex i badly need
JSP based header footer.

I have two questions in this regard:

1- I believe only way to customize header is through header.vm/header.jsp.
There is no other way.
2- Is it possibble to use JSP based pages for header/footer with JS 2.2.1.
What configuration i need for this?

Thanks

I need to display informatin like logged in user, current role, and other
things in header. Currently i have modified header.vm for this. If i
eleminate header file totally this can be achieved probably using frames and
loading seprate jsp file as header in top frame. My application also has
many navigational links. In J2 these are generated based on folder/pages
present under Pages folder. In this case i need to created this navigation
manually in top header jsp file. Correct?

piplelines. Particularly having issues in loadig user specific pages.

You could actually not use headers or footers, and just use portlets

Should work in portlet pipeline as documented, the /ui pipeline is all
JSP based btw
