Reference JSP in a controller

Copy your JSP somewhere within the following directory: <DATADIR>/webapps/360-mashup-ui/WEB-INF/jsp/

Edit the following file: <DATADIR>/webapps/360-mashup-ui/WEB-INF/tiles-def.xml

Add a line within <tiles-definitions>, for example: <definition name="mytemplate" template="/WEB-INF/jsp/path/of/the/jsp/page.jsp" />

Create and package a custom controller and deploy it as a plugin, for example:

package com.exalead.cv360.searchui.view.widgets.controller;

import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;

import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMethod;

@Controller
public class TestController {
    @RequestMapping(value = "/test", method = { RequestMethod.GET, RequestMethod.POST })
    public String test(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) {
        return "mytemplate";
    }
}

Restart the search server.

Your page should be accessible at the following URL: http://<HOSTNAME>:<PORT>/mashup-ui/testWhere:

mashup-ui is the context path of the application deployed by jetty.
/test is the path specified by the @RequestMapping annotation.

Note: The default controller renders pages as /page/pageName, for example, http://<HOSTNAME>:<PORT>/mashup-ui/page/search and is written as follows:

  @RequestMapping(value = "/page/{pageName}", method = RequestMethod.GET) 
    public String renderPage(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response, @PathVariable
(“pageName”) String pageName) throws Exception {
    }
