We shouldn't need to use this, your right. However, the standard JspLayout
assumes that the layout template is already set, but the
"services.TurbineTemplateService.default.layout.template" key isn't
evaluated. As I'm not sure what this key is meant to be for, I introduced a
new one ("services.JspService.default.layout") and this value is used to
set the template in JetspeedJspLayout:
String templateJsp = TurbineResources.getString(
"services.JspService.default.layout","/default.jsp");
data.getTemplateInfo().setLayoutTemplate( templateJsp );
If you don't do this, you get a 404 error, "/layoutsnull not found" - this
has been reported on the turbine list several times, however I haven't
figured out yet how it's dealt with properly. I want to clean this (as soon
as I find more time...)
