The big difference between Tiles and Clay is that Clay requires a unique page associated with a view. In tiles, you can associate a generic layout with a resource. Clay requires a concrete page associated with a view where tiles you can have an abstract definition. Clay allows you to nest html and xml templates. The rolodex usecase might be a bit too complicated for a first preview but it has pretty good coverage. The full xml views with symbol replacement would be the nearest to a tiles def. > Hermod > Gary
