I just wanted to follow up on this conversation. Mike, earlier in the
thread you mentioned that there were <jsp:include> calls within your
layouts that also called layouts. That is a known problem that I'm working
on trying to solve before I release 1.5.7. I've made a lot of progress
since 1.5.6 so if you want to see how things look right now, you can test
against the latest 1.5.7-SNAPSHOT from Sonatype. Also see ...
http://www.stripesframework.org/jira/browse/STS-817
... for more information.
Further, I wanted to let everyone know that when 1.5.7 is released it will
contain both the new streaming layout tags and the original buffered tags.
The buffered tags have been moved to a new package, are defined in a new
TLD and can be imported with a new URI, like so ...
<%@ taglib prefix="buffered" uri="
http://stripes.sourceforge.net/stripes-buffered-layout.tld"%>
So the default implementation will be streaming, but the buffered tags will
be available for backward compatibility. This should help those who find
themselves stuck on 1.5.3 because of layout issues.
