Hi,

At the moment to change the way content gets shown would involve changing browse.jsp.

Have a look for the following line:

<a:actionLink id="col10-act2" value="#{r.name}" href="#{r.url}" target="new" />‍

You'll see we use a href and target attribute to make the content go to a new window, you could simply remove the taget="new" attribute to have the content appear in the same window. But beware this may introduce you to some of the back button issues in JSF!

For a future release we are thinking of ways to improve this area and allow custom actions to be applied to the handling of content to make this sort of thing easier.

As for integrating other views, there is a dispatching mechanism in the web client that allows you to override the JSP used for displaying the contents of particular spaces. For example if you had a calendar space type you can use a custom view for it rather than the standard browse.jsp
