Description

The JSP decorator feature is not documented in the online decorators guide.

I think if it were, a lot more people would use them.

Ate describes very well what must be done in his comments for this issue:

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JS2-711

BEGIN QUOTE

The JSP decorators can be enabled by modifying (properly commented) settings in:

• decorators/layout/tigris/decorator.properties
• decorators/portlet/tigris/decorator.properties
• WEB-INF/templates/layout/html/columns/layout.properties
• WEB-INF/templates/layout/html/maximized/layout.properties
• WEB-INF/templates/layout/html/solo/layout.properties

Note: you need to change the settings in all of the above properties files, and then restart jetspeed.

Also note: for the tcolumns template there isn't a JSP replacement (yet), but that isn't much used anyway AFAIK.
Just to be sure: don't switch your page layout portlet(s) from columns to tcolumns, otherwise your page will be broken.
