TemplateDefinition

The template-definition object defines templates for objects in the framework. Templates are JSP pages that define the page structure for a framework object. Any framework object has the ability to define its own layout templates mapped by key. The following is an example of how to import a skin layout template:

<dspel:include page="${mySkin.templates.layoutTemplate.url}"/>

The attributes of the template-definition object, in addition to the attributes inherited from the FrameworkObject base class, are:
