The particular issue driving me on this is that jakarta.apache.org doesn't
support Tomcat, so anything we post there (right now, the Struts website
is basically a copy of struts-documentation.war) needs to be static.
It can certainly include links to other public sites that have example
apps running, but I think it is important for people to be able to read
enough to understand Tiles (or anything else in Struts) just from the
static content of the website that they can start building their own apps.
Including a tutorial app that actually *uses* Tiles in the Struts binary
distribution is, of course, an appropriate thing to do as well.
