I have created a new document type that is specific for a larger application. I want to use the DB connection functionality of the JSP server model, but need completely different (non-JSP) syntax. I see at least two choices here: 1. create a new server model for this application, or 2. change the DB syntax for this document type.

#1 seems like overkill, but it would give the most flexibility if more things needed to be customized for this application in the future.

#2 seems quicker, but less flexible

so, first question is this: does anyone know of a decent tutorial on creating a new server model? it seems there are dozens of subdirectories all over the configuration folder -- do I need to make versions of all of these?

second question: if i use the JSP server model for this document type, how do i specify different connection syntax for this document type while keeping the existing for normal JSP pages?

many thx...
