[Seaside] How to Implement a Website

[Richard K Eng II]

I thought one of the advantages of Seaside was being able to do away with 
HTML templates and to generate HTML programmatically. If a particular 
webpage consists of a mix of HTML (from the traditional website) and a 
dynamic web app, are you supposed to generate HTML just for this webpage? 
How do you get your website to serve up *both* the traditional webpages and 
the Seaside app? (I saw a blog that explained how to setup a virtual http 
host and a Seaside server in Apache2, but I am unclear about the mechanism 
by which traditional webpages and the dynamic app coexist.)

Thanks,
Richard
