1. Re: Display options: Templates / XSLT / JSP

Given JBoss Nukes' heritage of leveraging the success of PHPNukes, there is a benefit to reusing templates from PHPNukes to redevelop modules for JBoss Nukes - a look & feel + functionality that has been tested.
IMHO, for non-PHPNukes modules, simple modules will probably use inline HTML, while more complicated ones will use JSP or Velocity => Struts (?), in order to be close to J2EE land.

joehobson Apr 2, 2004 12:06 AM (in response to joehobson)Thanks for response to this one. Maybe I made it look too much like a statement and not enough like a question. For those newbies (like me) that go thru the forums looking for the answer to this question, please keep in mind that my statements above ARE NOT the answer, merely what i was trying to guess at after some looking around.

I'm all for doing it that way, though i haven't yet seen great documentation on the templates, the module that is included with the distribution does a good job of giving you an example to work from. Since templates came from PHPNukes i think i might turn there next for some sort of docs on how templates can be used."sgwood" wrote:

I'd love to use JSP, i'm just not sure how to go about that. I remember seeing a few topics in the forums discussing some hurdles they were trying to overcome in the JSP integration. Maybe i'll give that another look before i decide on using templates.
thanks for your help. More comments and insights are definitely welcome... .joe -

The JSP integration is little bit difficult at the moment. The aim is to have module specific JSPs be in a WAR in a module EAR, but we are not there yet. Julien is working in this area.
I am using JSPs right now, but I deploy them by putting them in an exploded nukes.ear/nukes.war.
