Customized Customize JSP - Addendum

Hi all,

I believe that I am close to getting a customized customize jsp portlet to 
work.  In my xreg for my portlet I have the following three lines:

   <parameter name="template" value="myPortlet.jsp" hidden="true" />
   <parameter name="customizeTemplate" value="myCustomize.jsp" />
   <parameter name="provides.customization" value="true" />

I also have overridden the buildConfigureContext(Portlet portlet, 
org.apache.turbine.util.RunData rundata) method in my action class.

I can tell that this method is being called when I click on the customize 
icon which is great.  The problem is that I don't see the myCustomize.jsp 
portlet appear.  Instead when I click on the customize icon all I see is the 
myPortlet.jsp portlet in a maximized fashion, which is obviously not the 
right thing to have happen.

So, my questions are:

1) I assume the previous issue I detailed is a bug where it might work for 
velocity and not for a jsp?

2) I noticed that there are two buildConfigureContext methods.  One with

buildConfigureContext(Portlet portlet, org.apache.velocity.context.Context 
context, org.apache.turbine.util.RunData rundata)

as a footprint and another with a footprint of

buildConfigureContext(Portlet portlet, org.apache.turbine.util.RunData 
rundata)

which was kept for backwards compatibility.  Are we going to get a

buildConfigureContext(Portlet portlet, org.apache.*jsp*.context.Context 
context, org.apache.turbine.util.RunData rundata) ?

3) Has anyone successfully overrode a customize page with a jsp ?  If so, 
please post what you did!

If anyone can help me out I can formalize the process like I did with the 
JBoss/Tomcat instructions and post it to the email list.

Thanks for all the work everyone puts into making Jetspeed!!!

Andy
