David,
I have use Struts and Tiles together in the past. I always found
Tiles to somewhat verbose if you used the XML structure. :(
With the Shales Tiles integration, will it be this simple to create pages?
First, create a master page to define the overall page layout:
TopMasterPage.master
-----------------------------------------
<%@ Master Language="C#" CompileWith="TopMasterPage.master.cs"
ClassName="TopMasterPage_master" %>
...
<body>
...
<div>
<asp:contentplaceholder id="TopPageContent" runat="server">If you see
this content,
then the master page content was not replaced<br />
</asp:contentplaceholder>
</div>
...
-----------------------------------------
Second, create a content page which defines which master page to use,
which content id(s) to insert the content into, and what the page
title is:
Welcome.aspx
-----------------------------------------
<%@ Page Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/TopMasterPage.master"
CompileWith="Welcome.aspx.cs" ClassName="Welcome_aspx" Title="Welcome
Page" %>
<%@ MasterType VirtualPath="~/TopMasterPage.master" %>
<asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID="TopPageContent" Runat="server">
This is
the content of the welcome page.
...
</asp:Content>
------------------------------------------
Third, there is no third. Since MS made Master Pages a first class
concept within ASP.NET 2.0 you don't need to modify the Web.Config
file and you don't need to create something like a tiles-defs.xml file
in order to take advantage of them. Here is the sample code link I
sent earlier: http://www.ondotnet.com/dotnet/2004/09/27/examples/Source.zip
Again, will the Shale Tiles integration make it this easy to layout
pages? I am sure there is a bit of web.xml configuration to do and I
am okay with that, but looking at the sample ASP.NET code, I hope it
is not a lot. I think this is simply too powerful of a concept to not
have an equivalent on the Java side.
thanks,
Andy
