Sometimes yes, and sometimes it is not necessary (it depends on your content), see below... > From my limited understanding this is something that Velocity is pretty > good at (provided you insert some kind of velocity tag).

Any easy solutions? or at least... dose somebody The simplest, and well-known, and documented, and with lots of samples way is sitemap aggregation. You have your source page intact, and you add some dynamic content to it. Post-process aggregated result with XSLT, and you are done. Regarding entities, I believe that is something which can be handled by entity resolution catalog. You will have to add DTD declaration to your document though. See entity catalog demos and docs.
