Strictly speaking it’s a chain of (two) lookups.  The code looks for foo.vm (in the filesystem) and then foo.jsp (in the war).  So if you have to use the jsp, you delete the foo.vm file and you’re all set.  You may find that you get a note in the log every time it doesn’t fine the foo.vm file – I cannot remember whether that comes at debug or info)

Also, if you are using Velocity you do *not* need to restart the IdP or the container.  Just change the file and see the difference.

About transparent logos – it’s *your* login page so you can out what you want there.  The images you provide to the UKFed support team are different since they have to work on other people’s web sites so there are suggestions and rules for them.
