I think the concept of extending TilesRequestProcessor (and/or integrating Tiles support into the standard request processor) makes a lot of sense for this ... it would be nice to be able to use Tiles together with JSF. I also want to look at making it possible to use the Validator framework with JSF components as well, as was suggested at the BOF on JavaServer Faces. Taken together, these would be a powerful reason to continue to use Struts underneath a Faces-based app.
Enhancement requests for this library can go the same place as bug reports: http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/ Craig On Tue, 10 Jun 2003, Ives Landrieu wrote: > Date: Tue, 10 Jun 2003 20:55:53 +0200 > From: Ives Landrieu <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Reply-To: Struts Developers List <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Question on struts, tiles and jsf > > Hi, > > I was experimenting with struts and tiles (not very experienced in using > them yet) and wanted to explore whether these could be combined with > Java Server Faces (using struts-faces).
