Thank you, that's exactly what I'm looking for, however I have another question: Where do I define the bean that's referenced in the request-context-objects.xml ? I'd like to add my own custom spring context file into Jetspeed how can I do that.

In your decorator, you can access a user-configured Spring bean, in this example named "dynamicDataService" with: #set ($myService = $rco.get("dynamicDataService")) and then just use the service to access a getter named getDynamicData for example: $myService.DynamicData() You also need to configure it in Spring by overriding the request- context-objects.xml: <beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance " xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-2.5.xsd "> <!-- Request Context Objects will be populated into the Jetspeed Request Context and are accessible in the vm context of templates in the "rco" variable, example: $rco.get("myObject") --> <bean id="RequestContextObjects" class="java.util.HashMap"> <meta key="j2:cat" value="default" /> <constructor-arg index="0"> <map> <entry key="dynamicDataService"> <ref bean="org.just.david.DynamicDataService" /> </entry> </map> </constructor-arg> </bean> </beans> Remember to deploy the DynamicDataService jar to your jetspeed portal context (WEB-INF/lib) in your custom build --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: jetspeed-user-unsubscr...@portals.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: jetspeed-user-h...@portals.apache.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: jetspeed-user-unsubscr...@portals.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: jetspeed-user-h...@portals.apache.org
