To simplify this document $JS2_PAGES will represent the directory path src/webapp/WEB-INF/pages of the Jetspeed 2 source code.

= Jetspeed Portlet Layout =

The Jetspeed portlet layout is defined by a number of mechanisms. The $JS2_PAGES file structure has an effect on the layout. Here are some modifications you can do without breaking the build.

== Change the Default Page ==
Modify the column and row indexes for some or all of the portlets on the welcome page($JS2_PAGES/default-page.psml).

== Add Additional Links ==
Create a file called myLink.link in the directory $JS2_PAGES. Refer to or copy one of the other .link files for the proper syntax.

== Create a New Tab ==
Tabs can be created by simply creating a psml file in the $JS2_PAGES directory. Copy $JS2_PAGES/default-page.psml to $JS2_PAGES/my-page.psml. Note that the security-constraint tag in psml defines the roles authorized to view this page.

== Modify the Menu ==
The left menu is defined in the folder.metadata file of each directory of the $JS2_PAGES directory.
