Hi
This is what templating is all about. You create one base layout that all you
pages are based on. It will normally be divided into several reusabloe
sections, such as footer, jheader, menu and contents (as in your scenario).
Now when you create new pages, the only thing you want to create is the stuff
that changes (normally the content) and not have to create a complete page with
every thing on it each time.
You do not need the start.thml, only the startBody.html
The what you do is in clay-views-config (assuming you have followed the
standard) you define:
<component jsfid="/start.html" extends basePage>
<symbols>
<set name="@title" value="Application Home" />
<set name="@bodycontent" value="/startBody.html" />
</symbols>
</component>
As you can see this is very close to what you did. (There is a catch here: You
need to add .html as something that JSF is supposed to handle in the web.xml
file)
I have written a getting started tutorial that you can look at:
http://wiki.apache.org/shale/ShaleAndClayTutorial
Hopefully later to day I'll add another tutorial that goes into basic component
creation.

Subject: Clay templating
Hi all,
I use Clay to build my pages with templates.
I have a base page, all my actual pages are derived from the base page.
My clay-config.xml looks like this
<component jsfid="basePage" extends="clay">
<attributes>
<set name="clayJsfid" value="/templates/layout.html" />
</attributes>
<symbols>
<set name="@title" value="Default Title" />
<set name="@headercontent" value="/templates/header.html" />
<set name="@bodycontent" value="space" />
<set name="@footercontent" value="/templates/footer.html" />
</symbols>
</component>
<component jsfid="startPage" extends="basePage">
<symbols>
<set name="@title" value="Application Home" />
<set name="@bodycontent" value="/startBody.html" />
</symbols>
</component>
The "problem" is my actual page start.html it looks like this:
<span jsfid="startPage"/>
So the issue I'm having is that for every page I need two files
start.html
startBody.html
The start.html page only calls the "startPage" clay component.
So I'd like to have only one file which contains my body.
Are there any possibilties to do this?
Thanks
Bernhard
