Jetspeed as portal can work with either JSPs .... or Velocity .vm IMHO vm templates are much easier to customize especially if you need only to customize the GUI elements. Despite what will you use (vm or jsp) with Jetspeed as portal .... you still can write your own portlets in jsps or even vm .... it is irrelevant. Regards, Youssef
