Summary


In this chapter we have explored the basic methods of customizing OpenCms. We have created a basic module for containing custom code, and implemented custom templates within that module. Using the OpenCms tag libraries and scriptlet API, we have added useful functional elements to templates and documents.

We have looked at FlexCache and discovered how to control the way a JSP is cached. Finally, we looked into internationalization in OpenCms, as it pertains to JSPs as well as content. You should now be equipped with the basic tools to customize your OpenCms installation and create unique templates and applications for your site.
