overriding site-index.jsp

Hi guys,I have very little experience in a development environment. We use ant on Ubuntu with the folder structure and build.xml file from fme's redtheme (http://code.google.com/p/fme-alfresco-extensions/wiki/FmeTheme), mainly because it was the only one I could get working. We use community 4.0.dSo

If somebody knows the solution of this one I would be very grateful, I’ve already spent one day on this issue…

I need to set the landing page to be the document library of a given site (fix url: "/page/site/ourcompany/documentlibrary").

I followed this tutorial <a>http://docs.alfresco.com/4.1/tasks/tutorial-share-add-page.html</a>, but I realized that I could not make a HTTP redirection in FTL (no control over the header?)

So I created a template-type:


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<template-type>
   <title>Site index landing page template type</title>
   <description>Site index landing page JSP Template Type</description>
   <!– Define the rendering processors for this template type –>   
   <processor mode="view">
      <id>jsp</id>
      <jsp-path>/custom-site-index.jsp</jsp-path>
   </processor>
</template-type>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

And a JSP…


<% response.sendRedirect(request.getContextPath() + "/page/site/ourcompany/documentlibrary"); %>
‍‍‍

It works very well when the JSP is in the webapps/share/ folder.

…but now I don’t know where to put the JSP in my JAR…

Do I need to define a custom processor that would take JSP from the resources?

How come it so difficult to define the landing page? I must be missing something obvious!

Thanks for any advice.

Edit: Finally I made an AMP and put the file inside the /web/jsp. Here is the new template type:


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<template-type>
   <title>Site index landing page template type</title>
   <description>Site index landing page JSP Template Type</description>
   <!– Define the rendering processors for this template type –>   
   <processor mode="view">
      <id>jsp</id>
      <jsp-path>/jsp/custom-site-index.jsp</jsp-path>
   </processor>
</template-type>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Just to make sure I’m being comprehensive, here is the tree of my project:


|– pom.xml
`– src/main
    |– amp
    |   |– module.properties
    |   `– web/jsp
    |       `– custom-site-index.jsp
    `– resources/alfresco
        |– site-data
        |   |– configurations
        |   |   `– custom.slingshot.site.configuration.xml
        |   |– pages
        |   |   `– custom-site-index.xml
        |   |– template-instances
        |   |   `– custom-site-index.xml
        |   `– template-types
        |       `– custom-site-index.xml
        `– web-extension
            `– share-config-custom.xml
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

/src/main/resources/alfresco/site-data/pages/custom-site-index.xml


<page>
   <template-instance>custom-site-index</template-instance>
   <authentication>user</authentication>
</page>
‍‍‍‍‍‍

/src/main/resources/alfresco/site-data/template-instances/custom-site-index.xml


<template-instance>
   <template-type>custom-site-index</template-type>
</template-instance>
‍‍‍‍‍

/src/main/amp/web/jsp/custom-site-index.jsp


<% response.sendRedirect(request.getContextPath() + "/page/site/foo/documentlibrary"); %>
‍‍‍

I’m a little bit disappointed I could not keep it to a JAR, but I’m glad I found a way that suits my requirements.
