[TRINIDAD] How to share a common branding across pages?

[Paul Spencer-3]

I would like to share a common branding across many pages, i.e. the
logo, and do it in such a way that changes to the branding only need to
be made in one place.  What are the options to do this?

Hello Paul,

You could use tr:icon and define your branding as an icon in the skin, thus centralizing the link to it. It's not as perfect as using a template, but if you cannot use Facelets, I guess it's the best way.

Simon,
What about <jsp:include>?

+1 to use facelets. You get the added benefit of better performance
over JSP too.

I guess the most elegant way is to use facelets.

Hello Paul,

Personally I never use JSP with JSF, I just don't trust the mix, even with JSF 1.2.

If your talking JSP tags with JSF tags, I would concur unless you really know what your doing.  JSP in and of itself, however, is a perfectly fine technology to drive faces.  Granted, facelets has a ton of advantages from perfomance to flexibility, but JSP's can certainly be made stable.  I'm hoping J2EE6 and JSF 2.0 will solve most of the issues all around.

Hello,

Yeah I meant mixing the tags, not using the JSP engine to drive a JSF application. I wasn't very clear, sorry.
