In the tiles-def.xml subclass the common.default, then use an action to forward to the subclassed definition. Of course if you are using the tiles taglib in your jsps... you are going to have to write a bunch of jsp's to do it. Doing it with struts built in support... definition

Well im in the camp of never show a jsp if you can get away with it so almost everything in the app is fronted by an action. Now lets say I have a class that gets a bunch of stuff out of a db, caches it, etc for dropdowns or whatever. And let's further suppose that the page (or tile) I want to

Well maybe other than the singleton pattern :) snip I don't know, in fact, if a single class can have a pattern. I think that most, if not all, of the patterns only make sense in combination with other classes. /snip - To

I think the real power here is NOT in whether it is more or less code, but the move to a declarative way of handling the setup. I can compare it to the bean factory portion of spring. Technically I may write more code to use Spring. I certainly have to include other resources (spring jars) to

Jeff, Not to rain on the parade but the parenthetical abstract to me doesn't mean optional but it is a definition of the style of class. Its sort of like: we need a (male) soldier to join the infantry. Male is not optional - it is a description of the type of soldier. (my old military sense

I think the biggest argument was stated by Nicolas. I use struts because I like it sure, but I really use it because it is the framework that the client will accept and pay for and my developers know best. We recently used (portions) of Spring on a project and had a heck of a time getting the

This is probably a personal opinion based on my having more experience with Struts but we recently did 3 fairly large sized apps 2 of which we used struts/spring and the third (which was actually the first) used just struts. All three have the potential to use EJB or POJO Facades. We

Eric is correct. If you use the tiles-def.xml file you can get rid of a lot of duplication. In this case you could do exactly what you want by creating definitions in the xml that extend the original and only change the body portion. definition name=.default path=/mylayout.jsp put

We used the bean framework portion of Spring in a couple applications. It was very nice when the client decided to not use EJB Facades we could very simply (less than 10 minutes) switch the whole app over to a POJO Façade. Granted we wrote the POJO Facades at the time we were developing, and
