Hi No, It then triggers for the complete page (Which is what it does now), not for each tile. So re-arranging a page/composition (ie.view), means changing code (i.e controller) which is not an optimal solution seen from a architectual view. This brings in strong binding between them.

IIUC, in a faces environment, you would refer to the Tiles "components" (or pages, or templates) not as .jsp, but using the corresponding URL mapped to the FacesServlet. If that is true, wouldn't that trigger the separate ViewControllers just like you want? -Rahul > Hermod > > <snap/> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * This email with attachments is solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom it is addressed.
