Templating is a technique that allows developers to define UI fragments, and how to assemble them into a complete UI at runtime. With ZK, it can be done by use of annotations and composer (or initators, Initiator).
The basic idea is to specify the name of a fragment as annotations in a ZUML document that shall represent a complete UI, and a composer that is capable to parse annotations and replace them with the fragment. For example,
<div apply="foo.MyTemplateManager">
<include src="@{header}"/><!-- you could use any component as long as your manager knows how to handle it -->
<include src="@{content}"/>
<include src="@{footer}"/>
</div>
Here is a list of the implementations that ZK supports by default. You could implement your own, if it does not fulfill your requirement.
