[TRINIDAD] How to share a common branding across pages?
I would like to share a common branding across many pages, i.e. the
logo, and do it in such a way that changes to the branding only need to
be made in one place. What are the options to do this?

Hello,
Yeah I meant mixing the tags, not using the JSP engine to drive a JSF
application. I wasn't very clear, sorry.

If your talking JSP tags with JSF tags, I would concur unless you
really know what your doing. JSP in and of itself, however, is a
perfectly fine technology to drive faces. Granted, facelets has a ton
of advantages from perfomance to flexibility, but JSP's can certainly
be made stable. I'm hoping J2EE6 and JSF 2.0 will solve most of the
issues all around.

Hello Paul,
Personally I never use JSP with JSF, I just don't trust the mix, even with
JSF 1.2.

I guess the most elegant way is to use facelets.

Simon,
What about <jsp:include>?

+1 to use facelets. You get the added benefit of better performance
over JSP too.

Hello Paul,
You could use tr:icon and define your branding as an icon in the skin, thus
centralizing the link to it. It's not as perfect as using a template, but if
you cannot use Facelets, I guess it's the best way.
