How to use Lenya with Struts and Velocity?

[Abubakar Pasha <ab...@hotmail.com>]

Hey everyone!

I intend to use Lenya as a CMS for my website which is developed using 
Struts, Velocity, Hibernate etc. I have a few questions as follows:

1) Is it possible to configure lenya in such a way that we can generate 
velocity files when we create new pages using its editors like Kupu and BXE? 
What I mean to say is that my ultimate goal is to have velocity files 
generated by lenya so that I can have them placed in my website repository 
since we are using velocity as a view in our MVC framework. If this can 
really happen then our integration effort will be very less.

2) Is it possible to customize lenya for email generation? I mean if we are 
supposed to send out emails on different events such as submitting a page 
for publication to the reviewer?

3) In the templates that we create for pages, is it possible to have include 
files? For example we can include different files in JSP and Velocity. The 
same way, can we have include files in our templates too?

4) Can we use Lenya to edit some configuration files such as 
struts-config.xml in case of struts?

Thanks,

AB

Yes, it is.  My organization has only done this for 1.2.4, following
the instructions at
http://lenya.zones.apache.org/docu/1_2_x/how-to/faq.html), but
http://lenya.zones.apache.org/docu/1_4/reference/notification.html
implies it is available for 1.4 as well.

For 1.2.4 we customized the following files in order to make the
messages and behavior what we were looking for:

notification.xconf
message2xslt.xsl
targets.xml
forms.css
usecase.xmap
publish-screen.xsl
submit-screen.xsl

Hope this helps...
