How JSP and BEAN work ?

Hello!

I don't understand how jsp and beans works with Alfresco.

web-client-config-wizards.xml contains :

wizard name="createSpace" managed-bean="CreateSpaceWizard"
                 title-id="create_space_title" description-id="create_space_desc"
                 icon="/images/icons/create_space_large.gif">
            <step name="create-from" title-id="starting_space" description-id="create_space_step1_desc">
               <page path="/jsp/spaces/create-space-wizard/create-from.jsp"
                     title-id="create_space_step1_title"
                     description-id="create_space_step1_desc"
                     instruction-id="default_instruction" />
            </step>
            <step name="options" title-id="space_options" description-id="create_space_step2_desc">
               <condition if="#{CreateSpaceWizard.createFrom == 'scratch'}">
                  <page path="/jsp/spaces/create-space-wizard/from-scratch.jsp"
                        title-id="create_space_step2_title"
                        description-id="create_space_step2_desc"
                        instruction-id="default_instruction" />
               </condition>
               <condition if="#{CreateSpaceWizard.createFrom == 'existing'}">
                  <page path="/jsp/spaces/create-space-wizard/from-existing.jsp"
                        title-id="create_space_step2_title"
                        description-id="create_space_step2_desc"
                        instruction-id="default_instruction" />
               </condition>
               <condition if="#{CreateSpaceWizard.createFrom == 'template'}">
                  <page path="/jsp/spaces/create-space-wizard/from-template.jsp"
                        title-id="create_space_step2_title"
                        description-id="create_space_step2_desc"
                        instruction-id="default_instruction" />
               </condition>
            </step>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

I would like to delete the step 1 from this wizard and modifie the variable WizardManager.bean.createFrom to only be always equal to "template".

This file create-from.jsp is called during step 1, and I don't need it:

<h:panelGrid columns="1">
<h:outputText value="#{msg.how_to_create_space}"/>
<h:selectOneRadio id="create-from" value="#{WizardManager.bean.createFrom}" layout="pageDirection">
<f:selectItem itemValue="scratch" itemLabel="#{msg.from_scratch}" />
<f:selectItem itemValue="existing" itemLabel="#{msg.based_on_existing_space}" />
<f:selectItem itemValue="template" itemLabel="#{msg.using_a_template}" />
</h:selectOneRadio>
</h:panelGrid>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Please could you give me clues ?

Thank you

You can achieve this by overriding the wizard configuration for the create space wizard and changing what you need. For your scenario you can just point the wizard to a copy of the default page that removes the option to copy from a template. Have a look at the following wiki pages for info on doing this:
