Ben,
First on the confusion: The JIRA ticket I filed is against "Release
1.5.4". I didn't label it as such but if it is confusing then perhaps
that needs to be remedied by perhaps renaming "Release 1.5.4" in JIRA to
"Release 1.5.x" or something. I fully understand 1.5.4 is not released
and that I am working with a snapshot of 1.5.X... and as such refer to
1.5.4 as 1.5.4 Snapshot as much as possible (see subject line of thread :-)
I now distinctly remember some reports of issues with testing nested
layouts with 1.5.4 Snapshot but didn't realize that those issues never
got resolved. I also am not surprised that you fatigued at looking at
the code as you were making quite a few updates back in May / June. I
for one am very much appreciative of all the efforts made by yourself
and the entire Stripe Developer team as overall I am quite happy with
both Stripes and Stripersist.
However there were reasons why we flipped over to using 1.5.4 Snapshots
and those reasons pertained to issues with 1.5.3... one of the more
annoying being the IIRC Stripes Filter / Dispatcher null pointer
exception and duplicate web.xml coding that caused all sorts of issues
and was fixed in 1.5.4 Snapshot. Off the top of my head there were
other things that were resolved as well but I can't recall them as its
been quite a few months since.
Although both you and Freddy suggest flipping back to 1.5.3 to get
nested layouts to work the problem is that this suggestion can't be
taken in a vacuum... as it is taking a big step backwards with
everything else outside of Stripes Layouts i.e. in isolation stepping
back for working Stripes Layout functionality is wonderful but when
looking at the entire picture the recommendation is problematic.
So here are the options I see and in the order of most to least likely:
1) Forging ahead with a 1.6 Snapshot...
2) Staying on 1.5.4 Snapshot but using another template engine such as
Tiles or SiteMesh
3) Going back to 1.5.3... stable... but not a desirable option in my case
4) Waiting for this to be resolved in 1.5.4... sounds like this may not
be so trivial and who knows when this might occur
I think I am going to try 1) and then if that doesn't bode well move to
2) which will be an unfortunate shame as I have used Tiles before and
liked what Stripes Layout had to offer in 1.5.x but its useless for my
project if it doesn't correctly support nested layout functionality.
Thanks,

Nikolaos, let's not confuse things by calling this 1.5.4 since there
has been no 1.5.4 release yet. I am aware that nested components don't
work with that branch at the moment. To be frank, when I realized that
was a problem I had to step away from it for a while because I had
grown sick of looking at that code. It will be fixed before 1.5.4 is
released. In the meantime, I recommend sticking with 1.5.3 if the
layout code from the branch doesn't suit your needs.
I will gladly use the sample JSPs you submitted with the JIRA ticket
for testing. I know there are others out there who have layout
examples that don't work with the 1.5.x branch. Please attach those to
the JIRA ticket, and I will use yours as well.

Feddy,
Thanks for testing it out and letting me know it isn't just me.
I'll write up a JIRA ticket ASAP.
As I am on a tight schedule and there haven't been any updates to
1.5.4 since the flurry of activity this past June I think I have
little choice but to take a snapshot of the 1.6 trunk. As such,
are there any gotchas that you could pass on with its current
state... I am using JPA / Stripersist quite heavily and plan on
using Stripe Layouts heavily as well for a production app. Any
pitfall pointers would be appreciated.
Also have the flurry of enhancements in June made it to 1.6 or
where they already there... thinking of the "streaming" Layout
stuff that Ben put in... .
Thanks,

Either something is "seriously" broken with Nested Layout Components in
1.5.4 OR I am "seriously" confused.
Well, I can tell you that your example works as expected with 1.5.2
and with the trunk. I think you are correct -- something is broken
in the 1.5.x branch. I don't get the (unexpected) output that you
mentioned; rather, I get this exception:
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError:
net.sourceforge.stripes.tag.layout.LayoutRenderTag.doAfterBody()I
org.apache.jsp.test_jsp._jspx_meth_s_005flayout_002drender_005f0(test_jsp.java:139)
org.apache.jsp.test_jsp._jspService(test_jsp.java:81)
org.apache.jasper.runtime.HttpJspBase.service(HttpJspBase.java:70)
javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:803)
Either way, looking at the SVN log, work was done on the layout
tags in 1.5.4 which may have caused the issue that you encountered.
Please open a JIRA ticket.
Cheers,
Freddy
