Re: Best Practices for static content
Can't you use a TilesController-class and manipulate your tiles-attribute depending on some parameter in request scope?. Doing so you only have to declare one action and one tiles-definition. /Andreas Ramadi Pearse wrote: Does anyone have best practices on how to compose or decorate stand-alone static content?

RE: Best Practices for static content
David, I don't have any exceptionally long files. I remember Rick Reumann saying on this list too that he dumped SiteMesh in favor of Tiles because of the buffering problem. I never heard of anyone running Tiles/SiteMesh together, although it is feasible. Maybe I will just stick to creating tile definitions for my pages. It can't hurt - but I wish someone from the Struts team could tackle my question too. Someone must have professionally encountered the same problem I have. Thanks. --- "David G.

RE: Best Practices for static content
Dear Ramadi, I would recommend using SiteMesh (it's a filter) while you continue using Struts & Tiles. If you have any exceptionally large pages you wish to display (i.e. pages and pages and pages of content) you might want to watch out for String buffer issues. Why? SiteMesh receives a complete page before quickly parsing it and wrapping it per it's configuration. The result is that TRULY large pages might blow a string buffer limit. In practical use that may never happen but if you have a heavy amount of tables and/or long pages, the string buffer size might become an issue. Do I know what that size limit might be? No. I just read about it while researching and testing out SiteMesh a few months ago and thought I'd provide a warning, just in case. After all, you never know how much people will write.

Re: Best Practices for static content
Wendy, I need to put up some files that are long documents. They won't change much, but are needed for the user. Such are messages from the organization's president, information about rules, legal info, etc. The information will rarely change, but I need two questions answered: 1) Is it the right thing to use tiles for this? Have other people hard-coded static content with tiles? 2) What kind of internal directory structure did they use under WEB-INF? --- Wendy Smoak <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > From: "Ramadi Pearse" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > Does anyone have best practices on how to compose > or > > decorate stand-alone static content?

Can you give an example of what you mean? Is it something like magazine articles, where you want to draw the banners and menus, and then have the selected article as part of the page? -- Wendy Smoak - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
