Re-hi list :-)

I noticed that GetTag extends InsertTag and it does not add anything, it
only sets "isErrorIgnored" flag to true.
So I am thinking on removing one of those.
From my POV it should be better to remove InsertTag (or better, remove
GetTag then rename InsertTag to GetTag), because this way it is clear
that GetTag is the opposite of PutTag.
What do you think?


I may get some of the details wrong here, but hopefully someone (hi Ted!)
can correct me if I do...

A long time ago, in the dim and distant past, Struts had the 'template'
taglib. Then Tiles came along, and we eventually integrated it in such a way
that it was backwards compatible with the 'template' taglib. That is, Tiles
became part of Struts, and was modified in such a way that it incorporated
all of the functionality of the 'template' taglib. We could then remove the
original 'template' taglib.

I believe that 'get' was originally from the 'template' taglib, and 'insert'
came from Tiles and did essentially the same thing, making 'insert" the
"real" Tiles tag. It would be good if there was some way we could know which
tag most people use with Tiles today, but I doubt that's possible. That
being the case, I don't have an opinion on which one to keep and which one
to drop.
