Hi Phil
Velocity is an open-source Java-based templating language. It is an Apache
project - http://velocity.apache.org/
To see how it is used in Jetspeed, take a look at the directories under
..\Jetspeed-2.1.3\webapps\jetspeed\decorations\layout There is one directory
here (e.g. tigris, bluesky etc) approximately corresponding to a Jetspeed
theme. Also, take a look at
..\Jetspeed-2.1.3\webapps\jetspeed\decorations\portlet These subdirectories
approximately correnspond to WPS skins.
Regards
Ron

Hi Ron,
As I am not doing anything too complex with WPS themes, I am using just
a text editor - EditPlus! If you have jsp reloading enabled the
turnaround time is pretty quick. So far the purple screen of death has
been enough to lead me to the error(s).
What is a Velocity template comprised of?
I have approached the JSP and JSPF files rather gingerly so far, as all
things Java-related are still new and strange to me. That is where a
majority of the heavy lifting is going on, along with the properties
file.

Hi Phil
I am working with both Jetspeed and IBM WPS. I am investigating using
Jetspeed for development, and only going to WPS for integration test and
production. Main reason is that WPS is a very unfriendly developer
environment. (Slow to install, needs a really capable machine, takes
forever
to start in debug mode and runs like a dog when debugging, stuck on Java
1.4...)
Jetspeed themes are Velocity templates, but not at all difficult to
build.
They are described as "decorators" in the documentation. There is an
experimental JSP decorator in the latest release, but I have not tried
it.
Generally you can copy an existing Jetspeed theme and replace the images
&
css files with the ones from WPS. Then edit the header.vm and footer.vm
files using the WPS JSPs as a guide. For simple jobs, the single column
layout is usually OK so you don't need to build a special layout.

Ron
