in the TRP change:
services.TemplateService.default.extension=vm
to:
services.TemplateService.default.extension=jsp
> So far as I know, i need to modify TurbineResources.properties, the

> screen.homepage=Home
> template.login=Login
> template.error=Error
> screen.error=Error
> screen.invalidstate=error.InvalidState
> default.doctype=Html40Transitional
> action.login=JLoginUser
> action.logout=LogoutUser
> action.sessionvalidator=JetspeedSessionValidator
> action.accesscontroller=AccessController

Could you be more specific, what line in the TRP are you talking about?
In general, templates are your jsp or vm templates.
A template can implement a screen, or a screen can be implemented in Java.
To learn more about Turbine modules, see:

There are a lot of good arguments contrary to the point you are making.
That is, you shouldn't put Java code in the presentation (template)
