Re: Display non-Jahia data in main area after clicking on box

Hi, I'm interested in this topic too. It should be easy to integrate an 
JSP which implements an own box type into the box selection of a 
template for the user.

My question is, is there a standard mechanism to integrate the external 
service, this JSP page wants to use, i.e. for example a class to access 
an external LDAP server as an addressbook or organisation store, into 
the Java side of the Jahia server. For example, is it possible to 
registrate a new service class into Jahia, so that I could call my own 
service class from within a template JSP page? And what about 
auto-instantiating and caching of the service object? I observed that 
the Spring framework jar files are delivered with Jahia. Could I use the 
IOC of spring to registrate my own services within the running Jahia for 
use in JSP pages? Or is there a recommended way how the JSP side should 
access the service related part of an external service integration.

We plan, to integrate a LDAP based organisation adress book (people, 
workgroups, etc) and a external Groupware calender (for the calendar 
events) into a Jahia installation based on an external LDAP and calendar 
server. Then I want for example have an box type in Jahia, which 
automatically displays the current events of a special work group when 
the box is integrated into the home page of this workgroup in Jahia.
