We have precedents for dealing with this that seem to work fine: * File upload -- generic code in separate (Commons) package; glue in Struts * Chain integration -- same thing If the Tiles folks want to create a Struts-free distribution, two separate modules (generic and glue) are certainly possible. And, as far as I'm concerned, the generic one is welcome to stay here. > > In a volunteer organization, some decisions may seem arbitrary, since the volunteers > can be arbitrary, and decisions without volunteers don't exist. :) > > > > -Ted. > Craig --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
