Craig once mentioned the idea of a Web Applications Commons, where we could share components like Tiles and Validator, and whatever might come up for JavaServer faces. Another likely suspect might be Velocity Tools. This component has utility outside of Velocity. I believe the Scriptable Actions reinvents VelTools to an extent. Struts Velocity applications are also consumers of Tiles these days, as well as the Validator as well. It wouldn't take much to make these available to Velocity apps outside of Struts as well. Along with JSF apps, of course. :) Bringing components like Chain, Resources, Tiles, Tools, and Validator together might create some synergy. These are all things that more than one web application framework (or just plain application framework) might use. It could be another project, or just a grouping within Commons, or even a Struts subproject, depending on who wanted to be involved and how they felt about it. -Ted. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
