Hi, My opinion on this subject is that you should take a decision as soon as possible about the templating strategy. Every good framework, as shale, needs a good templating tech. So I think that Shale must decide the strategy: use facelets (and delete tiles integration) or upgrade to Tiles2. But we can not loose more time on this. It is a very important aspect to take care on when choosing a framework.

My original intent was to invest effort in getting Tiles to work better with JSF. Then I discovered Facelets and decided my efforts would be largely redundant. I haven't used Clay yet, though I didn't ignore it intentionally, but to me, Facelets does for JSF what Tiles originally did for Struts. That is, it provides an extremely easy-to-use templating and page-building system. Once I got used to Facelets JSP in JSF felt like driving a 1973 Plymouth that gets about 4 mpg gas mileage :-) I do think Tiles could do a lot for JSP in JSF with some TLC, but, again, the work just seems redundant to me. The effort to migrate from Struts-Tiles to Tiles 2 is about the same as learning Facelets. I still love Tiles and I think it has a good future, but the low-hanging fruit has been harvested IMO.
