Hi all!
I noticed a lot of people having difficulty migrating from Struts 1 -
Tiles 1 to Struts 2 and Tiles 2, so I am wondering if we need to
create a sort of "compatibility package"


I've struggled with this very issue.  One one hand people are reluctant to
upgrade if it means a complete rewrite of their pages.  On the other hand,
what's the motivation to refactor and use the new API if we maintain a
compatible API?

A possible solution would be to provide the compatibility layer and
immediately deprecate it.  That way people can have a migration path but
they will know we don't intend to support it indefinitely.

I do think we will have to provide some sort of migration path.  I doubt
many people will jump headfirst into Tiles 2 without one.
