My question is, is there a standard mechanism to integrate the external service, this JSP page wants to use, i.e. for example a class to access an external LDAP server as an addressbook or organisation store, into the Java side of the Jahia server. For example, is it possible to registrate a new service class into Jahia, so that I could call my own service class from within a template JSP page? And what about auto-instantiating and caching of the service object? I observed that the Spring framework jar files are delivered with Jahia. Could I use the IOC of spring to registrate my own services within the running Jahia for use in JSP pages? Or is there a recommended way how the JSP side should access the service related part of an external service integration.
We plan, to integrate a LDAP based organisation adress book (people, workgroups, etc) and a external Groupware calender (for the calendar events) into a Jahia installation based on an external LDAP and calendar server. Then I want for example have an box type in Jahia, which automatically displays the current events of a special work group when the box is integrated into the home page of this workgroup in Jahia.

Similar to the current jahia "boxes", just make an JSP include file (which will call your external remote user management system) so that you can select this jsp when choosing the content from your "box". No?

I hava a box displaying the "member of the week". The members are not held in Jahia containers, but in an external user management store. Now, when clicking on the "member of the week", his details should be displayed in the main area of the page. I can make a JSP to display this details, but I do not want to display only this JSP in a popup. It should be embedded in the Jahia page, that means all other boxes shold stay around.
The "member of the week" box can be on any page based on any template, which allows adding boxes.
So it is similar as the sitemap and searchresult, which can be called from any page, but I do not want to create an own engine to display the details of the "member of the week".
Is there a standard or recommended way to do this?
