Yes, I agree. The role of Clay is to glue togather JSF components. This is at a smaller granularity than pulling together page fragments as tiles does. The main difference is that Clay doesnt have a concept of a abstract page layout like tiles. In tiles, you can define a single layout that is used by all pages. With Clay you have to have a concrete HTML template or JSP page. In your example you could construct a jsp page that has a single clay component that includes your layout components. But, you would still have to create a jsp or clay template for each page. mainPage.jsp **JSP page declarations** <clay:clay id=page jsfid=mainPage managedBeanName=mybean /> Or a page with a single span tag. Mypage.clay <span jsfid=mainPage managedBeanName=mybean /> Tiles allows you to define an abstract page where Cay currently requires a concrete page where you abstract the content. > -- > Wendy Smoak > > Gary > From: "Maksimenko Alexander" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > > The only difference is instead of <span jsfid=content.html /> in profile > > screen I need profile.html and in main I need main.html components.
