ok, but where do I put the JAVA function definition? Is it embeded into
the .jsp page? And if no, how do you do to call it from a .jsp page? By the
way, is it the solution found into the JAHIA web site? It seems not, it's a
javascript menu! D you think it's possible to integrate a javascript menu
technologie?

I'm working with linux. It's not so easy to find out a good editor because
it's mixed source code (html, jsp tags, embeded sripts, ...). I hope I will
find a good plugin for Eclipse IDE...

yes, but it's not completed... Furthemore there is nothing about struts. By
the way, I'm wondering what is the best choice, STRUTS or JSTL, or mixed
solution???

it's not clear, there is a lot of jsp directories around the tree. I
found ../templates/appname/.. and created my template directory here. it
looks ok. But I need to personalise portlets templates too. It seems to be
under webapp/portletname/jsp... but I'm not sure. If so, how do you manage
multi templates with portlet?

I'm not sure. What I see into the admin. interface is only one list with all
templates mixed inside. What I mean is multiple separated template lists...
