Customizing accessible files and page structure using templates

Actuate Information Console uses Jakarta Struts templates to simplify JSP code and customization. Information Console templates handle overall page organization, access to Jakarta Struts custom tag libraries, and access to common CSS and JavaScript files. The login page and landing page do not use a template. Table 2-4 describes the Information Console templates.

Table 2-4  Actuate Information Console Struts templates 

Template	Method
dashboardtemplate.jsp	Used for the files and folders pages.
simpletemplate.jsp	Used for errors, confirmations, and other simple pages
querytemplate.jsp	Used by most Actuate Query pages
template.jsp	Used by all other pages except the login and landing pages

Each Actuate Information Console skin has its own version of these templates, besides the dashboard template, in <context root>\iportal\activePortal\private\skins\<skin name>\templates. The set of templates in <context root>\iportal\activePortal\templates sets up several JavaBeans and then accesses the template of the same name for the user’s selected skin. The dashboard template is located in <context root>\dashboard\jsp, along with the dashboard JSP files.
