appheaderTemplate vs applicationMenuName

[Bruno Busco]

Hi,
it seems that the framework let the user use two different ways to build an
application header both writing a .ftl file or a menu in a .xml file.
What is the preferred method for new applications?
Is the menu stuff a replacement for the .ftl style header?

The Widget Way for all the backoffice application.  For ecomerce ftl  
are the best solution, because you have greater flexibility in the  
layout definition.

Yes legacy, except, as Jacopo pointed out, when it comes to do sophisticated pages, like in ecommerce for instance...
