What I called the full XML views will allow you do do this. The default
suffix is .xml but you could use something else (.asp !)
The common config would look something like this:
<view>
<component jsfid="/index.xml" extends="basePage">
<symbols>
<set name="@bodycontent" value="/pages/index.html"/>
</symbols>
</component>
<component jsfid="/logon.xml" extends="basePage">
<symbols>
<!-- <set name="@bodycontent" value="/logon_ns.html"/> -->
<set name="@bodycontent" value="/pages/logon_tap.html"/>
</symbols>
</component>
<component jsfid="/mainMenu.xml" extends="basePage">
<symbols>
<set name="@bodycontent" value="/pages/mainMenu.html"/>
</symbols>
</component>
<component jsfid="/registration.xml" extends="basePage">
<symbols>
<set name="@title" value="registrationTitle"/>
<set name="@bodycontent" value="/pages/registration.html"/>
</symbols>
</component>
<component jsfid="/subscription.xml" extends="basePage">
<symbols>
<set name="@title" value="subscriptionTitle"/>
<set name="@bodycontent" value="/pages/subscription.html"/>
</symbols>
</component>
</view>
