Philipp,
I retrieved the samples and installed the module. If I am seeing this
right, the jsp samples are now limited to one template and two
paragraphs. This seems very limited, giving the fact that the basic
templating (the sonic templating) site that should be used to create
your own web site (according to the release notes) is fully done in ftl.
Why would somebody in their right mind use jsp with magnolia and why do
you expect a business to mix jsp and freemarker? That could be an awful
business decision since you now need people to understand two
technologies and not one. Adding new poeple with freemarker knowledge
probably is not easy either since it is not a very commonly used
technology (dice lists currently 17 positions that mention freemarker in
the job description). It really feels to me that magnolia is abandoning
JSP as the primary templating language and pushing freemarker. As
mentioned before, I am not sure if that is a good message to send to the
outside world.

No, but the samples are not pre installed anymore to let the user
choose and we recommend to use the new standard templating kit as a
starter.
The samples have been rewritten and are now more developer oriented
and have been extended by additional use cases: module configuration,
custom filter, templating models. The samples demonstrate both
template languages (freemarker & jsp) equally.
The samples are delivered with the bundled (in the add-ons) or can be
downloaded from our maven repository:
http://repository.magnolia-cms.com/m2/info/magnolia/magnolia-module-samples
Note: jsp and freemarker can be used in any kind of combination: for
instance freemarker page template with both freemarker and jsp
paragraphs.

so all the JSP samples are gone, you are only bundling freemarker
samples from now on and promote freemarker as the main templating
language?

hi everyone,
So I downloaded Rc3 and wanted to try it out without the supersonic
freemarker templating - how do I actually get magnolia up and
running if I do not want to use supersonic? Is there a flag to turn
the website admininterface back to the tree instead of that info
screen?
You are not able to see website tree because you do not have any
templates in your installation yet. You can either get the templating
kit or follow the other link that explain how to create templates or
since you know that already you can create a template yourself as you
did before. Of course if you have some of yours modules with templates,
you can just drop it in and install.
As soon as you add a valid template you will see the tree.
HTH,
Jan
Thanks
Ruben
btw: is there a version of all those nice templates and paragraphs
from supersonic as a JSP version?
