It has been discussed, I believe, to separate Tiles from Struts, but no one seemed to know where it would go. jakarta-commons doesn't want taglibs, and for some reason I don't remember, the taglibs project wasn't accepted. It would be kinda funny, though, since Tiles used to be its own project that was assimilated into Struts when Struts was trying to divest iteself of code into commons.

I mentioned the separation of Tiles from their taglibs as I thought I heard somewhere of Velocity being able to use Tiles. I could be wrong though.

Actually, I'd tend to agree with that.  It makes more sense than
separating Tiles and the Tiles taglibs - don't think you'd use the
former without the latter.  Maybe ... but I don't.

Haven't look into this much but it would seem better to have a
completely separate tiles sub-project that struts core would use. Don't
JSF and Spring currently use tiles and have to include struts.jar when
all they really want is tiles?

Subject: Extracting taglibs

My basic assumption in approaching taglibs extraction into its own
subproject is it can reference Struts classes, but Struts classes
shouldn't reference it.

If that is correct, here are the changes I see happening to extract
taglibs:

1. Move o.a.s.taglib out into its own subproject src tree
2. Remove methods in RequestUtils that delegate to TagUtils.  They are
marked as deprecated anyways and explicitly say they will be removed
after 1.2.
3. Move properties in o.a.s.taglib.html.Constants that are referred to
in Struts core code into o.a.s.Globals. (cancel and token keys)
4. Move o.a.s.taglib.tiles to o.a.s.tiles.taglib  This one I'm not

sure

about.  Should/can tiles be used w/o its jsp taglibs?  If not, then it
should stay in core w/ tiles.  Otherwise, it could be moved out too.

That should be it, as far as I can tell.  taglibs are already pretty
well isolated from the rest of Struts which will make the extraction
pretty straightforward.

I'd like to get this done before Christmas (25th) if there are no
objections.
