RE: Tiles directory structure recommendations?

[Bartley, Chris P]

Just two comments:

1) Make sure your target app-server supports JSPs under WEB-INF (Weblogic
6.1 doesn't).  It's not a big deal to change, however, because if you do
things right then the only files you'll need to edit are your tiles config
files.

2) I structured my current site similar to what you've suggested, but with
an extra layer under the "jspPages" folder.  Something like this:

   WEB-INF
 + jsp
 + html
 + 
 + 
 + 
 + 
 + 
 + 
 + 
 + 
 + 

The extra "html" layer allows me to eventually be able to create other
directories to serve WML, XML, etc.  And Tiles makes that easy by allowing
you to easily write your own definitions factory (just implement
ComponentDefinitionsFactory and "register" it with Tiles'
ActionComponentServlet in web.xml).  My custom definitions factory already
handles definitions by role, so it's simple to extend it to also take the
user agent into account and serve HTML, WML, etc. as necessary.

Tiles directory structure recommendations?

[Jerry Jalenak]

I'm beginning a new project based on struts-tiles.  Does anyone have a 'best
practices' suggestion for how to organize the directory structure under
WEB-INF?  I've been using

WEB-INF
  + jspPages
  + 
  + 
 etc.

I intend to use the tiles controller to 'build' my JSP pages dynamically
based on the content in my tileDefinitions.xml file.  Any comments would be
greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
