[cas-dev] "protocol" in default view

[Smith, Matt]

CAS ships with two views out of the box: simple and default.  We add our own "uconn" view.  In my mind, these views are essentially equivalent to "skins", adjusting the look and feel of the server.

When using our own view, and supplying our own "uconn_views.properties" file, I have to retain the "protocol" view mappings from the "default" view.

I would assume that while the look and feel parts of the views are often (always?) customized by deployers, the protocol parts are not.

Would it then make sense to separate the "protocol" folder from the "default" view?  This would avoid the impression that "protocol" somehow belongs to the "default" view, and should actually be used by every view?

Perhaps "WEB-INF/view/jsp/protocol/" ?

Just my ruminations for the evening,
