I noticed that TilesRequestProcessor and TilesPlugin have disappeared from

I know that TilesPlugin absence could be replaced with TilesServlet (I
think it only initializes the definitions factory, correct me if I am
wrong) but TilesRequestProcessor is useful for Struts users.
I was used to forward directly to a definition:
mapping.findForward("name.of.the.tiles.definition");
Without TilesRequestProcessor I can't do that... or there is a way to do
so that I still don't know?
I know that Struts users can use "Struts Tiles" but I think that the
independence of Tiles Standalone must not remove its history of being a
part of Struts.
What do you think of "reintegrating" at least TilesRequestProcessor?
You can't have a "standalone Tiles" with a dependency on the Struts RequestProcessor!
I would think that if you were using the TilesServlet mapped to handle requests for "*.tiles" then
<forward name="success" path="name.of.the.tiles.definition" />
would just become
<forward name="success" path="/name/of/the/tiles/definition.tiles" />
or something similar depending on how the TilesServlet maps paths to definitions.
I haven't tried this, but it seems to make sense.If we did end up needing/wanting to provide some support for Tiles in Struts beyond the standalone, we'd probably create a "struts-tiles" subproject which depended on Struts and Tiles and added any plugins, request processors or other code which bridged the two projects.
