Custom Layout Type -- Java Example

Hello,

We have a need to do heavy customization of LiveSite's output HTML (in order to match predefined HTML prototypes). From my understanding, creating a new custom layout type is our best option. Unfortunately, the documentation on this functionality is very sparse. I believe this entails both customizing an XSL file and also writing a Java class to implement the com.interwoven.livesite.layout.impl.LayoutIc interface.

I've had a look at the included div-layout.page.xsl file, but it would be very helpful to see an example of the Java side of this process. Is there any way to view the corresponding com.interwoven.livesite.layout.impl.DivLayout class?

Are there any other custom layout type examples or other resources I can explore? Thanks!

Bump... has anyone ever used this functionality before?

can you get away with just doing the xsl this is what most people do.

Does anyone have examples or resources to suggest for an approach using XSLT? We're running into issues using that method as well and it would be helpful to hear how others are tackling this problem.

Thanks!

most start with one of the standard layout stylesheets and tweak it to their needs.
