Thanks Mark and helix84,
Both answers were very clarifying. The main problem I had was that I didn't
know how to know where the are the proper classes I was looking for based
on an url. The XMLUI files that are in installation directory doesn't tell
too much about that (or I couldn't manage to find something like the
../WEB-INF/web.xml in JSPUI that is more explicit and understandable).
The customization I'm trying to accomplish, is the creation of communities
with default collections inside. Also, this collections will have to be
dynamically assigned to different item-submissions. One of the expectations
on this modifications is to make them compatible with future DSpace
versions (now I'm working on 1.8). Mark what you explained will be very
useful for me in customizing the community creation. Still the dynamic
assignment of the default collections, I don't know if can be possible
(regarding future compatibility).
Cheers,
César
