I am not sure, but there is a type attribute in the config file. Maybe the suffix of the what you put there is how it defaults?

How would one go about creating a reusable layout where the content to be inserted may come from either the application.properties files (in the simplest case) or from another JSP file? Is this impossible? Do I need to duplicate the layout and do the insertion in different ways depending on the nature of the content? Dean Hoover Dean A.
