dynamic-height feature
I have a gadget with <Content type="url" href="xxxxxxxxxxx.jsp" /> in xml
file.
I want to use dynamic-height feature. As it is a jsp(or any other server
side technology like ASP, PHP) page, I may not be able to place my code
inside this content tag (Can I place server side code here?). In this case,
how can I use dynamic-height feature? Can I place _IG_AdjustIFrameHeight()
method in that *xxxxxxxxxxx.jsp *page? Will it work?

gadgets.rpc isn't the solution that you need -- we still have no way of
messaging the parent container to the type=url gadget, thus you're stuck in
the same bind (you have to hard code the parent url).

You should use gadgets.window.adjustHeight and it'll work -- however there's
one outstanding issue with Shindig today which is that you have no way of
knowing what the parent page is (and thus where to get the appropriate
javascript from).
In general, libraries should be emitted by inspecting the libs parameter
that is passed to your server and using that as the root for generating your
iframe source. Unfortunately, this has one major outstanding flaw which is
that you don't know what host it came from (before open sourcing this
technology, google simply had authors point to www.gmodules.com/..., but the
javascript served there is not completely compatible with shindig). We're
working on a solution.
In the interim, you'll want to generate something like this (PHP example):
$scriptPath = $containerUrl.strip_tags($_GET['libs']);
echo '<script src="'.$scriptPath.'"></script>';
where $containerUrl points to the container page. I *think* you can get this
value from the "parent" parameter, but I'm not completely sure that this
path is accurate (and you still need to white list containers that you
trust, since otherwise you're opening the door for XSS attacks).
