Getting Started
Installation
The installation consists of a simple two step process:
- dropping a jar file into the WEB-INF/lib folder
- adding a startup servlet to the WEB-INF/web.xml file
Configuration
The configuration consists of the following:
- simple servlet init-parameters in the WEB-INF/web.xml file
- optional webskin.xml file in each skin directory
Integration
The framework comes with a set of JSP tags that facilitate easy integration with
existing codebase.
Management
The following features make the skin management extremely simple:
- each skin exists in a self-contained folder, and has an optional configuration file
- each skin consists of a list of stylesheets, and a set of other resources
- a skin can extend another skin, selectively overriding resources as needed
- the skins can be auto-reloaded when the webskin.xml is modified
