I often use Forge to create separate administration pages that will fit an entire web application (a bit like in TicketMonster). The problem is that all JSF pages use pageTemplate.xhtml and this template declares a header, footer and navigation menu. So the other pages of the web site cannot use this template.

Forge could either :

• use 2 level of templates : the pageTemplate.xhtml only does the header and footer, and we had a new forgeTemplate.xhtml that uses pageTemplate.xhtml and adds a navigation menu
• we only use pageTemplate.xhtml but the template actually includes a header.xhtml, footer.xhtml and navigation.xhtml page (with the <ui:include> tag)
