Since you mention this let me add that we are working 
on an integration of Struts with the Jakarta Velocity 
template engine. See the initial annoucement on the 
Velocity Homepage http://jakarta.apache.org/velocity/ 
under the topic News->Velocity Tool Subproject.
It's not a release yet, just an early prototype with
several examples.

I love the simplicity of Templates as well. The bummer with them is,
they aren't nestable, as far as I can tell (can anyone tell me
differently?).

I'm using templates in almost every portal/site, I found Tiles great but often 
overkill,  
templates are lightweight and really easy to use, even for a web developer without 
any 
coding skill. Look at the nice JavaWorld article (go to http://www.javaworld.com 
and 
search for templates) and the struts ML archives for examples, you'll be up and 
running 
in a couple of minutes ;)

  Can you send more info on this in order to understood what problems you
encountered ? This will help other users, and help Tiles improvement !

Thanks,

I'm using templates in almost every portal/site, I found Tiles great but often 
overkill,  
templates are lightweight and really easy to use, even for a web developer without any 
coding skill. Look at the nice JavaWorld article (go to http://www.javaworld.com and 
search for templates) and the struts ML archives for examples, you'll be up and 
running 
in a couple of minutes ;)

Template mechanism tutorial anyone?

[Michael Mehrle]

Hi guys/gals:

I'm new to the list and to Struts - though I got it all up and running via
Tomcat. Problem is that I have until the end of this week to implement some
kind of template mechanism for our new website. All the other stuff is
installed and ready (RH71 runs: Postgres, Tomcat4, Struts, Poolman, Apache,
etc.. (maybe JBoss later)) but I need to get up to speed QUICKLY with this
so any pointers and tips would be appreciated.

BTW - yes, I looked at Tiles and found it extremely buggy (examples got all
messed up on W2000 and Linux on three different systems).

One more issue of interest: most of my content will reside in Postgresql,
not much will actually be in the form of actual HTML - which means that I
will need to relay pageID and pageTitle info to whatever template mechanism
I wind up using.

Again, help with this would be welcome

Cheers,

Michael
