You could use SiteMesh from within a separate application to decorate the application.

You could also create some sort of "theme" archive that can be uploaded to your database in binary form. When the app starts up, extract the various themes to the file system. Just some ideas...

All, I am developing an application that can be used by multiple companies. References to theme artifacts (style sheets, images etc) are stored in the database and are configurable/uploadable by the end users. Currently, I deploy the application as an exploded war file and the custom theme artifacts are uploaded into the same directory structure by the end users. It has become a real pain to push new versions of the code because these artifacts are not source controlled and are not part of the build. My hosting provider does not support having an apache proxy to tomcat. Any ideas on how to better manage these files? Here are some of my initial ideas: 1. Write the files to another exploded war file on the same tomcat instance. 2. Write a servlet that will pull the files from someplace else on the file system. Any other ideas?
