Initially I thought we can use Controller interface to save an extra
specification in config.xml and to be more flexible in our design of class
structure. We use TilesAction as the main 1 controller 1 action and in
nested pages where there is a need of 1 controller -> multiple views. We
change all of our controllers to TilesAction. It seems to be
confirmed by Cedric comment. Let me know if I miss something.

For Struts 1.1b3 and the soon to be released Struts 1.1 RC1, do you
recommend using TilesAction over the Controller interface
(http://tinyurl.com/62px) for tiles-specific controllers? I just wrote
about using the Controller interface for a Wrox Chapter last night, and
I'd
hate to be out of date ;-)
Thanks,
Matt

I found the following in tilesAdvancedFeatures:
If you use a class name as controller, it should extend one of the
following
base classes or interfaces:
org.apache.struts.action.Action (wrapper
org.apache.struts.action.StrutsActionControllerWrapper is
used) If you
provide a Struts Action subclass, it will be wrapped with
the appropriate
class, and
Struts' perform method will be called, but the "mapping" and "form"
attributes will be null.
Does this means that to pass the error via mapping I must use
controlerUrl
in <tiles:insert> tag ? Where is
org.apache.struts.action.StrutsActionControllerWrapper? I
cannot find it
in
src of struts 1.1-b3.
It appears that StrutsActionControllerWrapper is now called
ActionController.
If you use a Struts action as Tiles controller CLASS, the struts
parameters aren't initialized, so you can't use it. I think
you can't
pass error via mapping in this way.
But, if you use a struts action URL as controller, the action is
called throw the struts mechanism, and properly initialized. You can
extends the o.a.s.tiles.actions.TilesAction class and
overload execute(
ComponentContext ...) to get the context.

Subject: Fw: TilesAction and Controller
Question: Just check to make sure that the controllerClass (NOT
controllerUrl) used in <tiles:insert> tag can extends
TilesAction (and
NOT
implements Controller)?
Using TilesAction as a controller, I can pass the
generated error to
the
input page via standard Struts process:
if (!errors.empty()) {
saveErrors(request, errors);
return (new ActionForward(mapping.getInput();
}
Question: How can I achieve the same thing with Tiles Controller?
(assuming
that I can have currentURL and RequestURL as Tiles
attributes in the
request
scope).
Cedric and/or someone may save me time to navigate from
ServletContext
passed into the Controller perform(...) method.
Thanks
