Why use the Ubuntu Template Framework

As far as we know this is the only Open-Source Template approach where the complexity is taken out of the templates.

One of the Industry objectives when developing JSP’s is to have separation between code and HTML.

With all this complexity removed from the "Template Writer" making new template is now a simple task

We only have to place small scriptlets like this <%=Object.ProperyValue > on the template to render values stored in a hidden layer of Java code

The framework provide all the property values needed to create , breadcrumbs (hierarchical and same-site ) , body content …and even our special high-performance Imageless Style-sheet Rollover Button Menus

If that is not enough there are 14 Standard templates provided as samples from which you can create your own templates

In order to show you how to create your own sites using these templates we have included 5 sample sites in the module complete with templates, images and style-sheets


Here is an example of how simple it is to create a template with a banner a menu and body content

<%=templateData.getBannerTags() %> <br> <%=templateData.getMenu() %>   <cms:include element="body" editable="true"/>
